Wallets matched to each Anubis coin

Why the coin passes through a wallet first

Sending straight from wherever you bought the coin to an order draws a line from an identity checked account to a marketplace. Moving it into a wallet you control first breaks that line and costs one extra transaction and a few minutes of waiting. It is the single cheapest improvement available in the whole payment path.

It also gives you somewhere sensible for change. Orders rarely use round numbers, and having a wallet you control means the remainder comes back to you rather than sitting on the market waiting to become somebody else problem.

The rule that applies to all of them

Every wallet here hands you a recovery seed at creation, and those words are the wallet. The application is replaceable, the device is replaceable, the seed is not. Write it on paper before putting anything real in, store it away from the device, and never type it into a page or let it reach a synced note. No legitimate service ever needs it.

Custody, plainly

A wallet where you hold the keys is yours. An account on a service that holds the keys is theirs, whatever the interface suggests, and it can be frozen or lost with the company. Both are better than sending directly from a purchase point, and only one of them is actually custody.
