Best Starknet Wallets, Tested & Reviewed for 2025

23 Jul 2025, 2:05 pm GMT+1

As the Starknet ecosystem expands, users now have more wallet options than ever before. With new dApps launching, BTCFi expanding, and cross-chain activity on the rise, the wallet you choose can directly shape your experience, whether you're trading STRK, bridging Runes, or testing the latest DeFi protocols.

Some wallets are Starknet-native, offering a tailored user experience and cutting-edge features like gasless transactions. Others extend popular multichain wallets. Here’s how they stack up!

TL;DR

  • Xverse Wallet: The market-leading BTCFi-ready Starknet wallet.
  • Ready Wallet: Smart contract wallet built for Starknet, with fee abstraction.
  • Braavos: Mobile-friendly, gasless, and optimized for STRK staking and swaps.
  • Keplr Wallet: Multichain wallet with Starknet access and a comprehensive portfolio dashboard.

Xverse Wallet

Xverse Wallet is the market-leading wallet for Starknet (STRK) for the growing BTCFi ecosystem that’s being built on it. Acting as an execution layer for Bitcoin, Starknet is one of the latest entrants into the Bitcoin DeFi market, and Xverse (through a partnership with Starknet) has established itself as the gateway for all things Bitcoin on Starknet. 

Using Xverse, you can bridge tokens between Bitcoin and Starknet, swap BTC for STRK (and vice versa), manage Starknet tokens, and connect to BTCFi apps on Starknet as that ecosystem continues to grow. 

Why Xverse Stands Out

  • Starknet integration

With one click, users can create a Starknet account directly inside Xverse. No need for separate apps or complex setups. Once connected, users can bridge BTC from Bitcoin to Starknet-based dApps, trade STRK tokens, and explore protocols building on Starknet.

  • Cross-chain token management 

Manage BTC, STRK, and other assets in a unified interface. No more switching wallets to access different networks. Xverse handles it all in one streamlined experience.

  • Secure yet simple

Supports integrations with industry-grade hardware wallets like Ledger, ensuring private keys remain safe even when interacting with smart contracts or bridging assets. Built-in recovery tools and a smooth UX mean it’s accessible even for users newer to DeFi.

  • Optimized for BTCFi

Xverse is the gateway to BitcoinFi (BTCFi) by providing a single app to do all things Bitcoin DeFi, from staking and trading to borrowing and lending, on both Bitcoin Layer 1 and Layer 2 (including Starknet). And all of that in a secure, non-custodial manner.

Ready Wallet

Ready Wallet, formerly known as Argent, has long been a pioneer in smart contract wallets. Unlike traditional wallets that rely on externally owned accounts (EOAs), Ready is a smart contract wallet at its core. 

It opens up powerful features like programmable permissions, fee abstraction, and built-in recovery options, all essential for a smooth user experience on Starknet.

Why Ready Wallet Stands Out

  • Gas fee flexibility

Users can pay network fees in STRK, ETH, or in some cases, skip gas fees altogether if dApps sponsor transactions. This drastically reduces friction, especially for new users unfamiliar with juggling multiple tokens for gas.

  • Mobile-first UX

Ready Wallet's interface is sleek, modern, and built for mobile, from swaps and staking to DeFi dashboard views. The UX is tailored for the Starknet experience, meaning users aren’t forced to navigate generic multichain interfaces that dilute key features.

  • Starknet-native integration

Unlike wallets that add Starknet as a side feature, Ready is built directly on Starknet and actively collaborates with core StarkWare teams. It supports key Starknet dApps out of the box, with deep integration for staking, yield farming, and gaming protocols.

  • Security as a feature

Ready Wallet has built-in security tools that include two-factor authentication (2FA), biometric login, device-level approvals, and fraud protection alerts. If you lose access to your device, social recovery lets you regain control of your wallet using trusted contacts or external backup methods.

Braavos

Braavos is another popular wallet built for Starknet. It embraces Starknet’s architecture, especially account abstraction and native smart contracts, to deliver an experience that’s clean, secure, and deeply optimized for the users.

Why Braavos Stands Out

  • Zero gas fees 

Starknet’s account abstraction allows dApps or wallets to pay transaction fees on behalf of users. You can bridge, swap, stake, and transact without paying gas, a major UX leap for anyone used to EVM wallets, where every click costs ETH.

  • Native Starknet functionality

Braavos integrates directly with top Starknet dApps and protocols with a roadmap that closely follows the growth of the ecosystem. It supports the management of STRK tokens and Starknet-based NFTs and allows interaction with Cairo-native smart contracts.

  • Mobile-first UX 

The wallet is designed to feel like a Web2 mobile app. The interface is polished, intuitive, and snappy. This ease of use makes Braavos ideal for crypto newcomers, without sacrificing power for experienced users.

  • Self-Custody meets smart security

Braavos is a self-custodial wallet, meaning you own your private keys. And as it operates via smart contracts, it unlocks new layers of protection. One standout feature is daily spending limits; you can configure how much STRK or other tokens can be moved per day, reducing risk from phishing or key compromise.

Keplr Wallet

Keplr Wallet began as the go-to wallet for the Cosmos ecosystem, but it has evolved into a multichain wallet supporting 300+ blockchains, including Starknet, Ethereum, Bitcoin, BNB Smart Chain, and Avalanche. 

For users who operate across ecosystems or who want to interact with emerging L1s and L2s without switching wallets constantly, Keplr offers one of the most streamlined and advanced experiences available.

Why Keplr Wallet Stands Out

  • Multichain integration

Keplr supports 300+ chains natively, including major ecosystems like Cosmos (via IBC), Ethereum (EVM), Bitcoin (native), and Starknet. It doesn’t just allow you to view assets; it supports staking, cross-chain swaps, and on-chain governance across all integrated chains.

  • Starknet access without compromise

While Keplr isn’t a Starknet-native wallet, its integration allows users to create and manage Starknet accounts directly within the app. You can interact with Starknet dApps, trade STRK tokens, and explore DeFi protocols, making it one of the few wallets to blend IBC and zk-rollup environments in a user-friendly interface.

  • All-in-one portfolio dashboard

Keplr consolidates everything into a single dashboard: token balances, staking positions, NFTs, validator status, voting rights, and on-chain messages. The dashboard supports liquid staking, validator switching, and even yield strategy monitoring, making it a hub for active DeFi and governance users.

  • Non-custodial wallet

Keplr is fully non-custodial. Users retain complete control over their private keys, which can be stored in-app or secured via Ledger hardware wallets.

Final Thoughts

The Starknet ecosystem is quickly maturing, and wallets are at the forefront of this evolution, from gasless DeFi to Bitcoin bridges and multichain UX.

As Starknet scales, expect account abstraction, social recovery, and deeper Bitcoin integration to become wallet standards, not features. Whether you're all-in on BTCFi or just exploring Starknet, choosing the right wallet now means you’ll be ready to tap into everything this growing Layer 2 has to offer.
