History & Background

Rainbow launched in 2020 and quickly became known for its delightful UX and NFT portfolio display. It attracted a loyal user base among Ethereum collectors and DeFi users who wanted something more polished than MetaMask, while remaining fully self-custodial and open-source.

WalletGuard tracks every official release of Rainbow and cross-references download hashes against the developer-signed artifacts so you can verify what you install.

Who should use Rainbow

Best for: Ethereum and EVM chain users who want polished UX, NFT gallery, and human-readable transaction explanations.

Custody type: Self-custody

Risk profile: Open-source hot wallet. Extension and mobile app — verify sources carefully for both.

Self-custody notice: Rainbow is a hot wallet. Your keys are stored locally on your device or browser. For large holdings, consider pairing with a hardware wallet. Never share your seed phrase with anyone.

Common scam patterns targeting Rainbow users

  • Fake browser extension clones with a near-identical name or icon, distributed through search ads.
  • Phishing websites mimicking rainbow.me with a typo or subdomain.
  • Social media accounts impersonating Rainbow support and requesting seed phrases.
  • Modified installers distributed on file-sharing sites or Telegram channels claiming to offer an "early version".

Pre-install security checklist

  • Verify you are on the correct official domain: rainbow.me
  • Compare SHA-256 hash of your download against the values on this page before running anything.
  • Check that the version number matches the latest release listed here (v1.12.0).
  • Never enter your seed phrase anywhere except the wallet application itself.
  • For significant holdings, use a hardware wallet for signing instead of a hot wallet.
