Not sure which wallet to pick? Answer the questions below, then open the [wallets directory](/wallets) and use the filters (or badges) that match your answers.

> **Disclaimer:** The Dogecoin Foundation does not audit or endorse wallets. Always download from official links, back up your keys, and start with a small test amount.

## Quick path (most people)

1. **Want something simple on your phone?** → Look for **Android / iOS** + **Self Custodial** + **New** user
2. **Long-term savings / larger amounts?** → Prefer **Hardware Wallet** + **Self Custodial**
3. **Need full verification / run your own node?** → **Dogecoin Core** (**Full Node**)
4. **Just want to tip on social?** → **Tipping BOT** (still learn custody basics)

## Q1 — Who holds the keys?

| If you want… | Filter / badge | Notes |
|--------------|----------------|--------|
| **You** control keys (recommended for savings) | **Self Custodial** | You must back up the seed/keys |
| A company holds coins for you | **Custodial** | Convenient, but counterparty risk |

If an exchange is holding your DOGE, you do not have a self-custodial wallet yet — withdraw when you can.

## Q2 — How experienced are you?

| Experience | Filter | Good starting points |
|------------|--------|----------------------|
| Brand new | **New** | Simple mobile self-custodial wallets |
| Comfortable with seeds, backups, addresses | **Experienced** | Hardware, full node, advanced multi-coin apps |

## Q3 — Which device?

Use the platform filters on the wallets page:

- **Android** / **IOS** — mobile
- **Windows** / **MacOS** / **Linux** — desktop
- **Browser Wallet** — web apps (extra phishing caution)
- **Hardware Wallet** — offline-capable devices

## Q4 — What will you do with DOGE?

| Goal | Look for | Why |
|------|----------|-----|
| Everyday tips & small spends | Mobile self-custodial | Fast and portable |
| Hold for months/years | Hardware + offline backup | Smaller attack surface |
| Trade / swap to other assets | **Coin Swap** badge | Multi-asset apps with built-in swap UX |
| Merchant / developer rails | **API** or services like GigaWallet | Not always a “consumer wallet” |
| Social tipping bots | **Tipping BOT** | Custody model varies — read the bot docs |

## Q5 — Extra features?

On the wallets page **Features** pane:

- **2FA** — extra login protection (app-level; not a substitute for seed security)
- **Import Wallet** — restore from seed / private key
- **Opensource** — public source code (still verify downloads)
- **MultiSig** — advanced shared custody
- **Full Node** — downloads the chain (Dogecoin Core)
- **Coin Swap** — in-app asset conversion

## Decision tree (summary)

```
Start
├─ Large amount or cold storage? ──► Hardware + Self Custodial
├─ Only mobile, small amounts? ───► Android/iOS + Self Custodial + New
├─ Want to verify everything? ────► Full Node (Dogecoin Core)
├─ Need swaps / multi-asset? ─────► Coin Swap + Self Custodial
└─ Just tipping online? ──────────► Tipping BOT (then graduate to self-custody)
```

## Before you fund anything

1. Download only from the official site or store link on [dogecoin.com/wallets](/wallets)
2. [Back up the wallet](/dogepedia/articles/how-to-backup-a-wallet) **before** depositing meaningful value
3. Send a **tiny test** transaction first
4. Never type your seed into a website or chat

If something goes wrong: [Recover a lost wallet](/dogepedia/articles/recover-a-lost-wallet)

## Next steps

- Browse and filter: [All wallets](/wallets)
- Learn custody: [What is a wallet?](/dogepedia/articles/what-is-a-wallet)
- Move value: [Send and receive Dogecoin](/dogepedia/articles/send-and-receive-dogecoin)

Much choice. Such responsibility. **Do Only Good Everyday.**
