Thanks for posting, I would argue that using a hardware wallet like ledger is safer and more useable than using an air-gaped solution without a hardware wallet.

For wallet-only functions, maybe but when used for swapping price information may have changed. While UTXO is simple, will have to consider the impact of EVM and Cosmos based chains supported by Asgarex.

Thanks for your reply. You are correct, get an hardware wallet. In some scenarios (air-gapped mode) it might even be impractical or impossible to use.

Having said that, there are many users out there who think hardware wallets are too expensive. And there is pile of obsolete hardware that could be re-used for that purpose. Especially true if you live in a poor country. It served me well for many years.
