Edge earns its 7.5. Custody integrity and transparency are the case for it: genuinely non-custodial, with its full codebase public and auditable (the app under BSD-3-Clause, the core source-available), and built by a named US team with a track record back to 2014. The password-login model is a real differentiator that lowers the most common self-custody failure, lost seeds, and multi-device sync makes it practical. The ceiling is equally clear. It is a software wallet with no secure element, mobile-only, and its recovery convenience is paid for with a password attack surface and data that passes through Edge's servers, the kind of exposure the 2023 logging bug made concrete. The incident was patched fast and disclosed, which supports rather than sinks the score, but it argues against going higher. For a phone-first self-custody wallet where you choose the account model with open eyes, Edge is one of the most honest and transparent options available.
