TL;DR
Best Solana wallet for most users: Phantom (browser + mobile, best UX). Best for DeFi power users: Backpack. Best for hardware security: Ledger + Phantom. For automated copy trading, Stratium generates a non-custodial wallet for you — AES-256 encrypted, trade-only access. FTX users who held SOL in self-custody wallets lost nothing in the collapse.
