Wallets show balances. Zerion shows a portfolio: positions across dozens of chains including DeFi deposits, LP positions and staked assets, with a readable transaction history that labels what each interaction did. For anyone whose activity spans more than two chains, that view is genuinely hard to reconstruct any other way.
Wallet features
Standard self-custody with seed or hardware key storage, transaction simulation, approval management, swaps and bridging routed through aggregators, and watch-only mode for tracking addresses you do not control — useful for monitoring a hardware wallet or a Safe without exposing keys.
The privacy trade-off
Portfolio construction happens on Zerion's servers, which means the company sees which addresses you track and what they hold. That is the standard architecture for this kind of product and it is a real disclosure: your on-chain activity is public anyway, but linking multiple addresses to one user profile is information you are choosing to hand over.
Costs
The wallet is free; swaps carry routing fees comparable to other in-wallet swap features, which is to say more than going direct to an aggregator.
Who should use it
Multi-chain users who want a single accurate view of their positions, and anyone tracking several wallets. Users prioritising privacy should use Rabby with a local-only setup and accept a worse portfolio view.
