Zerion wallet is a self-custody crypto wallet that doubles as a multichain portfolio tracker. You can create or import a wallet, manage tokens and NFTs across many networks, and connect to dapps. Zerion holds no keys for you, so your recovery phrase is the only way back into the wallet.

What can the Zerion app and extension do?

As of November 2026, Zerion offers a mobile app, a browser extension and a web app at app.zerion.io. Its help center lists buying, sending and receiving crypto, swapping and bridging, managing NFTs, connecting to dapps, and getting alerts when wallets you follow trade or mint.

Zerion gives full support to Ethereum and dozens of EVM networks such as Arbitrum, Base, Optimism, Polygon and BNB Chain, plus two non-EVM chains, Solana and Tron. A second group of networks gets lite support, which means balances and dapp connections but no in-app swaps, bridging or NFTs. Other EVM networks can be added as custom networks with fewer features.

You can also connect wallets you already use. Zerion says it works with most EVM wallets such as MetaMask and Rabby, with mobile wallets through WalletConnect, and with Ledger hardware wallets.

How does the Zerion wallet tracker work?

The tracker side of Zerion lets you watch any public address. A watch address is view-only. You see balances, tokens, NFTs and activity, but you cannot send funds or sign anything for it. In the app these addresses sit in a separate watchlist.

This is different from an imported wallet, which you created in Zerion, restored from a recovery phrase or private key, or connected through a hardware wallet. Zerion warns that you should only file an address under My Wallets if you actually own it, so you do not mistake someone else's address for your own when sending. The idea is explained more fully in what is a watch-only wallet, and tracking tools in general are covered in how do crypto portfolio trackers work.

The web app can be used as a portfolio view without installing anything. Connecting a wallet there unlocks swaps and bridging.

What fees does Zerion charge?

According to Zerion's help center, sending and receiving crypto from the wallet has no Zerion fee. Its built-in swap and bridge features charge a service fee of 0.67%, cut to 0.25% for Zerion Premium subscribers and waived for holders of its Gold DNA collectible.

On top of that you pay the blockchain's own network fee, which Zerion does not set or collect. You can pick fast, medium or custom fee levels. If a swap routes through an outside exchange protocol, that protocol's trading fee is included in the quote. For how network fees work, see what are gas fees.
