# Reviews

### [Avalanche Wallet](https://wallet.avax.network/)

* open-source, non-custodial in-browser wallet

<figure><img src="/files/ypJMm5BXdSDdN2w9ccr7" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Pros" %}

* easy and quick to install
* hardware wallet integration
* create, mint and store NFTs in Studio
* cross chain (X, C, and P) functionality for transferring between chains
* allows staking to earn more AVAX by becoming either a validator or delegator
  {% endtab %}

{% tab title="Cons" %}

* need to put in the seed phrase every time you want to use the wallet (unless accessing via Ledger)
* potentially confusing for new users with three chains: X chain (receiving and sending funds), C chain (interacts with Ethereum Virtual Machine - e.g. Coinbase or Metamask) and P chain (Staking)
* no token swap and only storage for AVAX token currently
* dApp connector not yet fully supported by all platforms
