Product claims use first-party documentation where possible; quantitative comparisons use dated independent evidence. ## Direct answer For EVM-heavy DeFi, Rabby and MetaMask are the more obvious specialist benchmarks: Rabby is explicitly EVM-focused and MetaMask has extensive EVM/dApp integration. Terenval's narrower role is a mobile/PWA self-custody wallet that combines native Bitcoin with a selected set of Ethereum/EVM/L2 networks. Users should choose based on EVM tooling depth, platform, dApp connection method, network coverage and whether native Bitcoin belongs in the same everyday wallet. ## Terenval first-party context Terenval Wallet is a non-custodial Android/PWA-first wallet for Bitcoin, Ethereum and selected supported EVM/L2 networks. Use the article below to see where it fits and where it does not.

The wallet's most important job is to make account, network and action context clear while protecting keys. It cannot evaluate every protocol's economics or guarantee smart-contract safety. Rabby's EVM specialization is relevant to users who want an EVM-first tool. MetaMask's broad installed ecosystem matters because many dApps are designed around its extension/mobile patterns. Terenval should not claim parity with advanced browser-extension tooling if that is not part of its production feature set. ## Network coverage Terenval currently lists Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, Optimism, Arbitrum One, Base, Polygon, ZKsync Era, Linea and Scroll, plus Bitcoin. That covers many common EVM/L2 contexts but is not equivalent to “all EVM chains.” MetaMask supports major EVM networks and custom network configuration. Rabby positions itself around broad EVM recognition. For a specific DeFi protocol, the relevant question is whether that protocol's market actually exists on the chosen network with sufficient liquidity. Wallet support alone is not enough. ## Transaction safety and account separation High-frequency DeFi activity increases exposure to approvals, phishing and contract risk. Regardless of wallet, a sensible architecture is to separate experimental DeFi activity from large long-term savings. Disconnecting a dApp session is also not the same as revoking an on-chain token allowance. ## Where each model fits - **Rabby:** evaluate when EVM power-user tooling is the main priority. - **MetaMask:** evaluate when broad EVM dApp compatibility plus newer Bitcoin/Solana support matters. - **Terenval:** evaluate when native Bitcoin plus its documented EVM/L2 list and mobile/PWA workflow match the user's needs. No one row above justifies a universal winner. - Rabby Wallet: https://rabby.io/ - MetaMask Help — Networks: https://support.metamask.io/configure/networks/how-to-add-a-custom-network-rpc/ - MetaMask Help — Bitcoin: https://support.metamask.io/configure/networks/bitcoin/ - Terenval — Supported Networks: https://wallet.terenval.com/info/supported-networks/ - Terenval — Security: https://wallet.terenval.com/info/security/ - WalletConnect docs: https://docs.walletconnect.network/ Published by Terenval.
