An EVM wallet stores private keys and lets you interact with blockchains built on the Ethereum Virtual Machine, including Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, and BNB Chain.
This guide covers five leading EVM wallets, each strong in a different area: Backpack, MetaMask, Rabby, Trust Wallet, and Coinbase Wallet.
Best EVM Wallets Compared
Backpack
Backpack supports Ethereum and all major EVM networks alongside non-EVM chains including Solana, Sui, Aptos, Sei, and more, all from a single interface on iOS, Android, and browser extension.
For EVM users, the practical advantage is scope. Most EVM wallets stop at the EVM boundary. Backpack extends across non-EVM ecosystems without requiring a separate app or recovery phrase for each chain.
Features:
- Store, send, and receive ERC-20 tokens and NFTs across Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, BNB Chain, HyperEVM, Berachain, Monad, and other supported EVM chains
- In-wallet swap and bridge between EVM and non-EVM networks, no third-party apps
- NFT collection locking to block unauthorized transfers
- Hardware wallet support: Ledger, Trezor, and Keystone

- Hold tokenized U.S. stocks on Solana: redeemable 1:1 for real shares through Backpack Securities, alongside your EVM assets
