Buying a hardware wallet is one of the few consumer decisions where the marketing and the security model have almost nothing to do with each other. Coin counts, screen color and app design are easy to advertise. Whether the seed can be read off the chip, whether the screen can be lied to, whether entropy was generated properly — those are the things that decide whether the device does its job, and they are almost never on the box.
So walletblueprint.com keeps one table, maintained in public, scoring each device on four architectural properties instead of a star rating. Scores come from datasheets, published firmware, certification reports and bench work. Where a vendor claim cannot be checked, it is scored as unverified rather than taken on trust.

I build and break things for a living, and I read hardware documentation for fun. This site started as a spreadsheet I kept for friends who asked which wallet to buy and deserved a better answer than “the popular one.” It is written and maintained by one person, on purpose — so there is always someone to email when a score looks wrong.
