Guarda

Guarda is a multi-chain non-custodial wallet that has carried first-class Monero support since 2017 — a dedicated XMR wallet across web, browser extension, desktop (Windows/macOS/Linux), and mobile (iOS/Android). Keys stay on your device, Guarda never holds your funds, and creating a wallet needs no account or email.

Two things keep this at the convenience end of the shelf rather than the privacy end. First, the core app is proprietary — you are trusting Guarda's binaries, not auditable source, which is the line that separates it from open-source wallets like Cake or Stack. Second, Guarda's Monero support is a generic light wallet — XMR is one of 400+ assets, talking to a remote node with less Monero-specific depth than a Monero-native wallet (Cake, Feather, Monerujo) that can point at your own node. Its in-app Buy / Sell / Exchange does route through KYC partners — but so does most multichain software, including A-rated Cake, so that's a shared trait, not what holds the grade here.

The Monero wallet itself is a light wallet: it talks to a remote node rather than syncing the full chain, which is convenient but weaker on privacy and trust-minimization than a dedicated Monero wallet (Feather, Cake, Monerujo) pointed at your own node. Guarda runs a public Monero bug-bounty, a point in its favour on the security-process side.

Bottom line: a legitimate, long-running, genuinely non-custodial place to hold XMR alongside other assets — fine as a convenience / multichain wallet, not the tool you reach for when Monero privacy is the priority.
