Choosing the right DigiByte wallet will help you make the most of this coin. DigiByte is one of the fastest coins for peer-to-peer payments — its block time is only 15 seconds, and it offers fees smaller than US cent. When the coin was launched back in 2014 as an alternative to cumbersome Bitcoin, this was a huge advance. Still, DigiByte remains a well-performing coin: for instance, recently, they launched DigiAssets — a layer on top of DigiByte helping to launch smart contracts in the DGB blockchain.

Today, ChangeNOW introduces the list of trustworthy DigiByte wallets suitable for different purposes. 

Ledger Nano S

If you use DigiByte more as a store of value than for daily payments, Ledger is for you. In the crypto community, it is considered one of the most secure wallets: Ledger is a cold wallet that stores your coins without internet connection. Technically, it only stores your private keys, but it’s not just a string of numbers that you can easily access. Ledger Nano S signs transactions inside the device and doesn’t show you the private keys. 

Use Ledger if you are good at storing small things, if you don’t need to send your cryptocurrency very often, and if you want to store DigiByte in one place together with other cryptocurrencies.

DigiByte Core 

DigiByte Core is an official desktop wallet for DigiByte developed by the team. This is a full-node wallet meaning that when you install it, the whole copy of the blockchain gets downloaded, and your node helps secure the network. The download may take some time, but further, it will work fast. 

The Core wallet has 100,000+ users worldwide and is available for Windows, Linux, and macOS. 

DigiByte Mobile Wallet

This is an official mobile wallet for DigiByte. Use it if you want to have a wallet fully integrated into the DigiByte ecosystem (DigiAssets are supported, etc.). Unlike the Core wallet, this one only connects to the node, so the syncing takes seconds. Works well both for beginners and advanced users. Available for iOS, Android, and Huawei.

GigiByte Go

If you want a DigiByte desktop wallet, but the Core wallet looks too cumbersome, use DigiByte Go. This is a wallet that exists as a Google Chrome extension, and it has also been officially developed by the DigiByte team. 

Guarda

Guarda is the recommended wallet for ChangeNOW. This is a multi-asset wallet, meaning that you can store your DigiByte together with dozens of other assets. Guarda is non-custodial: you have full control over your crypto as the private keys are stored on your device, not in the wallet. In Guarda, you can buy DigiByte with your debit card right inside the app. The wallet is available for mobile phones and desktops.

To choose the wallet that will work best for you, define whether you need a mobile or desktop wallet, and how fast or secure it should be. With many options on how to store your DigiByte coins, we hope we helped you choose the wallet that fits your needs.
