Nulo puts that information in front of you while you can still make a decision. and the technical side is worth mentioning too. your keys stay on your device, and transaction proofs can be generated locally in your browser. the wallet is also open-source, with no Nulo account signup or telemetry according to its developers. i like the direction they're taking. we've spent years making crypto wallets better at showing balances, tokens, transaction fees, and charts. perhaps it's time we got equally serious about showing people what information they're sharing.
