@20x20xi Hello @20x20xi
,In a recent wallet privacy test, Cake Wallet had 0 IP exposure on launch while Ledger ranked lower. Why does Ledger Live connect to multiple domains/IPs before setup? Any plans to improve initial privacy?Thanks

Really appreciate @Nick_Researcher for putting together such a thoughtful comparison of crypto wallets based on privacy.
We’re honored to see Cake Wallet ranked at the top! 🙏

@20x20xi If the issue stemmed from the VPN, all wallets subjected to the same test would have leaked the IP address. However, while two software wallets successfully masked the IP address, Ledger leaked it. The problem lies not with the VPN, but with Ledger's routing system.
@20x20xi According to the Wallet Privacy Scorecard, Ledger scores a low 64/100, exposing 10 IPs and 14 domains on first launch. Don't blame the VPN. Software wallets like Cake or Stack achieve a perfect 100/100 with 0 exposure. Why is Ledger Live leaking this much data by design?
➥ crypto wallet IP-exposure scorecard
my main wallet GOT DRAINED yesterday, so i spent hours checking safer wallets to move on
the Open Source Press recently analyzed the network traffic of popular Web3 wallets
to identify how much info leaves your device before you even create a wallet
the setup was intentionally simple:
- clean Android device
- no SIM card
- fresh APK installation
- VPN enabled
- every packet logged from the moment the wallet was opened
the user never created a wallet, imported a seed phrase & connected an account
the only thing measured was what each wallet sent to the internet immediately after launch
how the privacy score works?
- the score ranges from 0 - 100
- a higher score means less network exposure
the ranking is based on 2 simple metrics:
→ number of unique IP addresses contacted
→ number of unique domains contacted
fewer outbound connections = fewer parties learning your IP address + device info before you even own a wallet
privacy ranking post-filtered:
[1] Top Tier (90-100)
@cakewallet@stack_wallet@zodl_app@Trezor@vultisig@unstoppablebyhs@ZeusLN@phantom@tetherwallet@bluewalletio@zano_project
[2] Middle Tier (70-89)
@exodus@AtomicWallet@Thorwallet@keplrwallet@TrustWallet@safe@Rabby_io@rainbowdotme@Backpack@EdgeWallet
[3] Lower Tier (<70)
@Ledger@MetaMask@base wallet
@solflare@Cryptocom wallet
@Tangem@wallet@SafePal
the differences are significant as bellow
- Cake Wallet generated 0 outbound packets, 0 DNS requests, contacted 0 domains before user interaction
- Zodl contacted just 1 endpoint
- Unstoppable contacted only 2 endpoints
- Phantom routed third-party services through its own infra, reducing direct exposure to external vendors
at the other end:
- SafePal contacted 26 domains across 41 IP addresses immediately after launch
- OKX Wallet initialized AppsFlyer, Amplitude, OneSignal, ThreatMetrix fingerprinting, Alibaba endpoints, and other services before a wallet even existed
many mainstream wallets also initialize analytics, attribution, crash reporting
or messaging platforms such as Firebase, AppsFlyer, Segment, Braze, Customerio, Sentry, Crashlytics, Amplitude during cold start
that doesn't automatically make them insecure
these services help teams improve products, diagnose crashes, and measure usage
but they also mean your IP address + device can be visible to multiple third parties before you generate your first private key
for anyone who values network privacy, that's an important distinction
onchain privacy starts with the wallet you choose
but network privacy starts the moment you open the app
