MetaMask’s the default for a lot of folks, but @rainbowdotme feels like the power-user lane with training wheels.
The difference hits you fast: a global command palette on desktop ⌘K / Ctrl-K that jumps straight to actions like Swap, Send, Wallets, Approvals, even viewing NFTs. It’s on the product page in black and white (Magic Menu + hotkeys), and the cheatsheet backs it up with the exact chords. That’s Spotlight-for-DeFi, not a buried settings drawer.
Multi-chain is native too. Out of the box you can manage assets on Ethereum, Polygon, Optimism, Arbitrum, Base, Zora, and more no scavenger hunt for RPCs or side installs. Even the App Store listing spells those networks out so you know what you’re getting before you import a seed.
And Rainbow leans into trader hygiene: Flashbots Protect is built in on Ethereum, so sending or swapping from the wallet can reduce sandwich/f frontrun risk without extra plugins. That’s a real edge during busy blocks.
❯ What I reach for daily:
❯ ⌘K to swap or copy address in one breath
❯ Chain-hopping between Base ↔ Arbitrum without re-adding networks
❯ Swapping with Protect on when mempool heat picks up
Net take: MetaMask is everywhere; Rainbow’s where I move faster. If you’re L2-first or just want a wallet that behaves like a terminal, the combo of Magic Menu + native L2s + Protect makes day-to-day DeFi smoother and honestly, harder to go back from.
