are hardware wallets still a thing? which one is the most solid right now?

heard something bad about ledger some months ago. i have one but rarely use it now.

I’ve liked Trezor but they seem to have limited DeFi functionality. So I guess Ledger?

So couple notes. 

1.Ledger most popular and kinda works, but they use 3rd party libraries that got hacked and propagated in their connection interface, fixed within a day but produced shitstorm on socials. Dishonest policy about backup/restore workflow, there is possibility for authorities to request it via court.

still ledger. even after the controversy. but thinking about getting an additional trezor.

Ledger. I'm extremely happy with mine. Let me know if you want a referral code and save some money. 😉
