How Bitget Wallet scores

Safety score

30/100

Limited

Write the recovery phrase on paper or metal, never in a photo or cloud note. Install wallets only from the maker’s own site or the official app store.

How the score works

Code transparency0/25

The code is not open source, so outsiders rely on audits and the maker’s word.

Independent audits0/20

No independent audit of the wallet itself has been published.

Key storage12/20

Keys are kept encrypted on your phone or computer, so malware on that device is the main risk.

Incident record15/25

2 incidents on record, 0 in the last three years, 2 with user losses. Recent incidents and losses weigh more.

Company3/10

Run by BGW Technology Limited, registered in Union of Comoros (Anjouan), where company licensing involves little supervision.
