Security

Type: Personal

They offer a client-side security model, with private keys hosted locally and never sent to any servers.

All cryptocurrency keys are created and held on your local device.

This means you have full control of your wallet.

Of course, it also means you are susceptible to getting hacked.

Jaxx gives you “permissionless access” to your cryptocurrency.

It requires no information or verification.

It does not collect any information about you on signup.

[3]

Additionally, your account can be backed up through a single 12-word master seed, which refers to the string of random words that can help you recover your coins.

They use standards that ensure that should the wallet ever go down or cease to exist, your keys can be imported into another service.
