FILTER: THREAT MODEL: BASE:
★ GrapheneOS is the gold standard for security hardening — the only mobile OS with verified boot, memory-safe system apps, and proper exploit mitigations. Compatibility: Google Pixel only (intentional — Pixel has the best verified boot support). Always download from official sources. Verify checksums. Never from APKPure or third-party mirrors.
SEARCH: USE CASE: DIFFICULTY:
DISTRO ▲ BASE USE CASE DIFFICULTY DEFAULT DESKTOP TRUST SCORE THREAT MODELS LINK
Trust Score: composite rating based on audit history, reproducible builds, update cadence, funding transparency, and community vetting. Air-gap = never connect to internet after OS install. Verified boot = signed bootloader chain prevents tampering.
SEARCH: CATEGORY: PLATFORM:
APP ▲ CATEGORY PLATFORM REPLACES TRUST E2E? AUDITED? LINK
E2E = end-to-end encrypted by default. Audited = independent security audit conducted within last 3 years. Prefer apps with reproducible builds and F-Droid availability (avoids Google Play dependency).
P2P · NO-KYC · NON-CUSTODIAL SWAPS

Self-custody trading rails — not bank on-ramps. Bisq (BTC P2P), Haveno (XMR P2P on Tor), Trocador (non-KYC swap aggregator). Always verify official URLs. CryptoForge never holds funds.

⚠ SAFETY

  • Bookmark official domains only — phishing clones are common for swap sites.
  • Start with small test amounts. P2P trades have counterparty + dispute risk.
  • Haveno/Bisq are desktop apps (often over Tor). Trocador is a web aggregator of swap providers.
  • This page is informational. Not financial advice. No custody, no accounts on CryptoForge.

DECENTRALIZED PROTOCOLS
PROTOCOL TYPE STATUS CENSORSHIP RESIST IDENTITY MODEL NOTABLE CLIENTS LINK
Experimental = actively developed but not production-hardened for all threat models. Evaluate carefully before relying on for sensitive communications. Censorship resistance ratings: ★★★★★ = provably uncensorable · ★★★ = resistant in practice · ★ = limited resistance.

HARDWARE WALLETS (SELF-CUSTODY)
WALLET OPEN SOURCE? AIR-GAP? SECURE ELEMENT PASSPHRASE? PRICE (USD) BEST FOR LINK
Never buy hardware wallets from Amazon or third-party resellers — buy direct from manufacturer only. Verify packaging tamper seals. Open-source firmware = you can verify what runs on the device. Closed firmware = trust the vendor.
