Buying guide

How to choose full nodes & core wallets

Reference full nodes with built-in "core" wallets: the original desktop clients for Bitcoin, Litecoin and many other coins.

When comparing full nodes & core wallets, start with where the software comes from. Prefer programs with a public source repository, signed releases and an official download page you can verify. Our reviews link only to official sources and record the installer hash we checked.

Next, look at maintenance. Crypto software that has not been updated for a year or more can break as networks and exchanges change, and security fixes stop arriving. Programs we consider unmaintained or discontinued are clearly marked, and you can hide them with the status filter above.

Finally, match the tool to your skill level. Many of the most powerful programs are aimed at experienced users. Our "Best for" and "Skip if" notes in each verdict are the quickest way to tell.
