Pros and cons
D'CENT
Pros
- Self-custody self custody means keys stay with the owner, held behind a Common Criteria certified secure chip on each model.
- Connectivity covers usb c, bluetooth and nfc, so one device handles desktop and phone signing.
- Coin support of from 10,000 compares with 49 for a typical wallet on the site.
Cons
- Backup rests on a seed phrase alone, with no share-based split listed.
- The top of the $59 to $249 range sits above the $79 Trezor, so the costlier device is a bigger outlay than a rival's single model.
- Help runs on email, phone and help centre with no listed live chat, so out-of-hours questions queue.
OneKey
Pros
- Custody sits with you: self custody keeps the balance and the keys off any operator's books, unlike bynex, whose custody is custodial.
- The signing chip is a EAL 6+ secure element, a stated security rating rather than a marketing line.
- Coverage of 30,000 coins is the strongest part of the offer, and the app lists self-custody among its features.
Cons
- Support runs on email, chat and help centre only, so written channels carry the whole help load.
- On price, OneKey ranks 103 of 120 brands, so the device is not the cheapest option on the page.
- The range $79 to $278 is wide, so the higher specification device costs far more than the entry model.
Who each suits
D'CENT
Who it suits
- Long-term coin holders who want their own keys and a certified secure chip rather than an operator holding funds.
- Readers who want one device for a very wide coin list, since D'CENT lists from 10,000 coins.
- Buyers who sign on both desktop and phone, since connectivity covers usb c, bluetooth and nfc.
Who should look elsewhere
- Trezor is the pick for anyone who wants a single hardware model at $79 rather than choosing across a $59 to $249 range.
- Bit2Me fits readers who want a mobile wallet and not a hardware device.
- bynex suits those who want custodial key handling rather than the self-custody self custody D'CENT uses.
OneKey
Who it suits
- Long term holders who want their keys offline and their coin list long.
- Buyers who read code, since the firmware and app are open source.
- Shoppers comparing hardware who want the entry price to sit at $79.
Who should look elsewhere
- Bit2Me, whose wallet is mobile, if a phone suits you better than a device you own.
- bynex, where custody is custodial, if you would rather an operator held the keys.
- Trezor, if you would rather pay one fixed $79 than choose a model across $79 to $278.

Questions about each
D'CENT
How much does a D'CENT hardware wallet cost?+
D'CENT hardware runs $59 to $249, so the entry model and the Biometric Wallet sit in the same band. That is a one-off hardware outlay rather than a subscription. For comparison, Trezor is priced at $79, and Trezor is a single model rather than a range.
Does D'CENT hold my coins for me?+
D'CENT is a self custody wallet, so keys are created and stored on the device itself and the maker cannot move them. That also means recovery is on the holder: the seed phrase is the only route back into the funds, and it never passes through the company.
OneKey
How much does a OneKey device cost?+
Devices are priced at $79 to $278, a range covering the entry model and the higher specification hardware in the same line. That figure is the cost of entry and there is no tier beyond it for extra accounts or extra services. It matters most for anyone planning to hold a wide set of coins, because coverage on the scale of 30,000 is where the money goes.
Who holds the crypto in a OneKey wallet?+
You do. The design runs on self custody, and the companion app lists self custody among its features. Nothing is deposited with an operator the way a custodial platform holds a balance, which is the main structural difference from an exchange account. The other side of that is that recovery is your job too, since nobody else holds a copy of the phrase.
