The Sui ecosystem offers diverse and practical Web3 applications. To start using them you'll need a wallet. The wallet allows users to buy, sell, send, and receive digital assets, including SUI tokens, NFTs, and other ecosystem coins.
In this article, we discuss the best Sui wallets worth watching. Above all, the devices' usability, security, and compatibility were considered.
Sui Wallet
The official Sui Wallet is created by the developers of the Sui network, Mysten Labs, both as a convenient extension for the Chrome browser and as a mobile application for Android and iOS. It allows users to make transactions, mint NFTs, view and manage assets on the Sui network, and interact with decentralized applications (dApps).
Sui Wallet allows users to create accounts using traditional seed phrases and simple logins through the zkLogin option. You can even improve security by enabling two-step Google verification
Sui Wallet also integrates with Ledger's hardware wallet, bringing additional protection to users.
Nightly
Nightly is a multi-chain wallet that was recently added to the Sui ecosystem. It offers browser and mobile wallets and some new and exciting features. For example, Nightly Wallet users can set specific time frames for transactions’ automatic confirmation, in case they don’t want to do it manually. Currently, this feature is limited to reputable platforms like BlueMove and SuiLend, as an extra layer of safety.
Nightly offers staking and liquid staking. This gives users the flexibility to generate Sui staking rewards. Like Sui Wallet, Nightly supports zkLogin. In addition, Nightly also integrates with leading hardware wallets like Ledger, providing an extra layer of protection for your digital assets.
Martian
Martian is a multi-chain blockchain wallet based on the Move programming language. At the moment the self-custodal wallet supports Sui and Aptos. The wallet is accessible only as an extension for various browsers.
Martian does not hold or track personal data, leaving personal keys under users’ full control. Moreover, it has a convenient real-time notification function for tracking transactions and other processes in the ecosystem.
Martian offers users a wide range of operations: from storing, sending, swapping, and staking tokens, to minting and managing NFTs. However, it is worth noting that Martian doesn’t offer the liquid staking option.
Martian stands out because it can be connected to users’ X accounts. This allows Sui NFT and DAO projects to campaign on X and reward their communities with tokens or NFT through the Martian Wallet. Connecting multiple X accounts is also supported.
Suiet
This is a non-custodial cryptocurrency wallet for the Sui blockchain. It is presented as a Google-based extension for browsers and as apps for Android and iOS devices. The wallet allows users to store, manage, and send tokens and interact with dApps on the Sui platform.
Suiet is ideal for NFT enthusiasts and developers. The last ones will appreciate the built-in Faucet option, which eases obtaining testnet tokens.
Suiet offers a special section for NFT collectors, designed specifically for managing and creating these unique digital assets. This feature allows users to mint Suiet NFTs directly from their wallets, enhancing convenience and control.
In addition, Suiet Wallet prioritizes security with advanced features such as biometric authentication and two-factor authentication (2FA). These measures provide high protection for your assets, guaranteeing secure transactions and peace of mind when mastering the Sui ecosystem.
Surf Wallet
If you need the simplest and most user-friendly wallet, then Surf Wallet is your top pick. Surf Wallet is one of the most popular mobile wallets in the Sui ecosystem and one of the first to implement zkLogin. Both mobile and browser wallets.
Surf Wallet offers support for managing SUI, NFT, stacking, and dApps tokens directly through the built-in browser. The Auto option helps new users choose the right validator, making stacking available in just a few clicks. Advanced users will appreciate the swap function. The developers also claim that the built-in quote aggregator saves users about 2 USDC per swap. Moreover, users can also discover features such as security auditing, zero tracking policy, and fiat-to-crypto-on-ramp options in Surf Wallet. Thus, Surf Wallet embodies ease of management, availability, and functionality.
Ledger Nano X
Ledger remains one of the most popular crypto hardware wallets. This device is an advanced safety tool for anyone with a cryptocurrency, offering many security features and an intuitive interface.
While it doesn't directly support Sui, you can connect your Ledger device to a Sui Wallet or Nightly to securely manage and sign Sui transactions. Its Bluetooth and USB-C connection support makes it compatible with iOS, Android, MacOS, Windows, and Linux devices.
The Nano X is built on a secure element chip certified by CC EAL5 +, providing the highest level of protection for your private keys. Unlike hot wallets, Ledger keeps your keys offline, making it immune to most online threats.
In addition, Ledger Nano X supports a recovery phrase that allows you to regain access to your assets if your device is lost or stolen.
Special attention is to the list of supported cryptos: there are more than 5000 digital assets available to choose from. It can contain up to 100 blockchain applications at once, so users can manage multiple assets from different networks.
If safety is your top priority, the Ledger Nano X is a solid, future-proof option for Sui and beyond.
SafePal S1 Pro
A more affordable but equally secure hardware crypto wallet, the SafePal S1 Pro is ideal for the long-term storage of your Sui assets. SafePal S1 Pro does not support USB connection, Bluetooth, NFC, or Wi-Fi: the only way to connect to third-party interfaces is via a QR code using WalletConnect. This feature is known as Air-Gapped and is the safest way to connect crypto wallets.
Additional protection is a mechanism for self-destruction during physical hacking. If the system registers an attempt to drill, disassemble, or otherwise damage the physical device, self-destruct is triggered to prevent unauthorized access.
The device is conveniently controlled by five buttons (D-Pad) and has a built-in 1.3-inch full-color screen, sufficiently leveling up the user experience. The camera for reading QR codes is located in the middle of the case.
The device has a powerful 500 mAh battery and a durable body made of aluminum alloy and tempered glass.
The bottom line
Each Sui wallet offers unique security features and functionalities, making them suited to different user preferences. The best choice depends on your priorities for managing crypto assets. If you're unsure, consider combining a hardware wallet for security with a software wallet for convenience, ensuring both safety and ease of access.
