An open, community-maintained advisor that helps newcomers and power users pick the right crypto wallet without risking phishing, scams, or mismatched features.

• Provide friends with tailored wallet recommendations across Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and other chains, factoring in networks, custody model, hardware availability, device OS, and budget.
• Share official wallet links only, with verification steps that protect against spoofed domains.
• Inspired by the bitcoin.org “Choose Your Wallet” wizard, but extend the concept to multi-chain ecosystems, modern UX, and community contributions.
• Host the project for free on Vercel and keep the codebase open-source on GitHub for transparency and contributions.

• Brand: Choose Your Wallet
• Domain: choosewallet.org (available, budget-friendly on Cloudflare Registrar at ~US$7.50 first year / ~US$10 renewal)
• Planned Hosting: Vercel (static or hybrid Next.js deployment)
• Repository: To be published under github.com/dongzhenye (recommended name pending confirmation below)
• License & Openness: Public, open-source, encourage third-party wallet teams and security researchers to submit updates.

• Search results for “choose a wallet” are dominated by single-chain official docs or affiliate-heavy listicles; there is no neutral, extensible hub that aggregates verified links, security context, and multi-chain coverage.
• Wallet users frequently ask for curated suggestions that match their device, budget, custody preferences, and security posture; a simple advisor flow can reduce onboarding friction.
• Publishing the data and logic in an open repo builds trust and allows the community to keep phishing-safe endpoints up-to-date.

1. Catalogue vetted wallets with metadata (supported chains, custody, hardware/software, open-source status, fee controls, geographical availability).
2. Build a decision wizard that filters wallets based on user input and outputs a short list with official URLs and safety notes.
3. Include transparent verification steps (DNS lookups, social cross-checks) and change logs for every wallet entry.
4. Ship structured data (Schema.org, JSON-LD) to improve search visibility for wallet-related queries.
5. Establish contribution guidelines (pull request templates, security review checklists).

• Finalize data model for wallet metadata and verification records.
• Draft information architecture (landing page, wizard, docs, community section).
• Define link verification workflow (manual review, automated checks, community attestations).
• Prepare content style guide for wallet descriptions and safety warnings.
• Set up CI to run link checks and lint JSON data.

• Competitor analysis and source links collected in docs/competitor-landscape.md.
• Additional brainstorming notes will be added as features are scoped.

1. Ensure the GitHub repository name stays aligned with the directory (choosewallet).
2. Initialize project scaffolding (framework selection, linting, CI placeholders).
3. Publish the repository to github.com/dongzhenye and configure Vercel integration.
4. Begin populating wallet dataset and design the recommendation flow.

• Previous push failures were due to an inactive proxy at 127.0.0.1:7890. Ensure proxy config matches your current network setup, or switch remote to SSH (git@github.com:dongzhenye/choosewallet.git).
• Keep repo and directory names aligned (choosewallet) for consistency with documentation and deployment automation.
