Cake wallet is good. They are open source and Also support other coins from different network aside from bitcoin plus on cake wallet you can kinda isolate a particular wallet so you have something like a lite coin only wallet or Solana only wallet etc.. as the case may be.

Only catch is last I checked just their swap area is closed source I think because that's when the wallet actually interacts with third party services . Aside that it's a fine wallet.

Unstoppable wallet and Cake wallet are the most popular open source ones out there, especially if you want access to XMR, LTC, Zcash etc.
If it's just the networks you mentioned then MetaMask could be an alternative too.

These three are the best on my list (i have and use them as well), even google agrees with me. As for on why i choose them, being fully open source, lightweight, easy to use and has huge community behind is enough. I knew almost everyone have the same sentiment.

Cake is good, just like they said, but the most popular one is the unstoppable wallet that supports most of the coins nowadays, including those you mentioned.

There's another option I think. 
Has anyone tried Edge Wallet since Bitcoin.org recommended this wallet, and does it support multiple coins as well? There isn't so much data about this Edge wallet, but it has open-source code, formerly the old Airbitz.


If you are planning to keep a large amount, I think it would be better to look for a hardware wallet like Trezor.

I'd advise against using multi-coin wallets for your bitcoins, generally speaking they are less reviewed (most of them are not that old) and are slightly riskier even if they are completely open source. It is best to stick to the known wallets that are very old and trustworthy such as Electrum, Bitcoin Core, etc. to store your bitcoins and only use the multi-coin wallet for your altcoins.

For that option I'm personally using Cake Wallet, it is open source and they are very active in developing the wallet, adding new features and fixing bugs. They keep adding new chains to the list of supported coins as well which is a good thing.

I practice the same.

With Bitcoin, I store my bitcoins in wallets for Bitcoin only and it's recommended to verify wallets too.
[Guide] How to Safely Download and Verify Electrum.
The paranoid user's security guide for using Electrum safely.
[Guide] Verify Bitcoin Core wallet.

With altcoins, I store them in other wallets that are for altcoins only and even they are multicoin wallets that support Bitcoin, I will never store my bitcoins in those multicoin wallets.

I see multicoin wallets are less safe than Bitcoin-only wallets and such wallets have only existed recent years while years ago, there are no multicoin wallets with support for Bitcoin. This contains a risk you said, these multicoin wallets are too young to fully verify about their security quality so to be safe, avoid storing bitcoins with such wallets.

Bitcoin transactions are irreversible so be more careful is the best practice.

There aren't that many options. I haven't tested Cake Wallet, but I think it's currently one of the best open-source multi-coin wallets. Another one that I have played around with slightly is Unstoppable Wallet. Back then when I tried it, I wasn't very pleased with it. It took a long time to sync and just didn't feel right. It seems they have mostly fixed the sync issues based on more recent feedback I read about the software.

Both Cake and Unstoppable offer swap services. If you want to use those, you have to be careful which liquidity provider you select. Some can freeze your coins, request KYC, and perform AML checks. If the history of your coins isn't "clean" according to their standards, you could have them confiscated.

A few words about bitcoin. I wouldn't keep my BTC in a multi-coin wallet. There are better and more battletested standalone bitcoin wallets I would pick instead. I recommend that you move your BTC to a multi-coin wallet only if you intend to swap it to something else.
