Keycard has announced the pre-sale of the Shell hardware wallet, which promises to revolutionize the hardware wallet space with its modular design and open-source principles.
Innovations in Hardware Wallet Architecture
Current hardware wallets often market themselves as transparent and open-source, yet many lack true transparency. Shell sets a new benchmark in wallet architecture.
"Hardware wallets need a complete rethink," says Guy-Louis Grau, Project Lead at Keycard. "Users rarely realize that most hardware wallets allow private keys to be exported outside secure elements or rely on upgradable secure elements—both of which compromise the integrity and transparency of the device."
Key Features of the Shell Hardware Wallet
Shell is designed not only for security but for those who demand verifiable control over their hardware and digital assets:
* 100% Open Source: Every layer—from chip software to hardware layout—is verifiable and customizable. * Multiple Stealth Smart Cards: Users can store multiple seed phrases safely. * Air-Gapped Operation: Users can sign transactions safely using Shell’s integrated camera and QR-code interface. * Duress PIN Support: Defense against physical coercion with a second PIN. * Cross-Wallet Compatibility: Works seamlessly with major EVM and Bitcoin wallets. * Future-Proof Design: Easily replaceable battery and upgradable Keycards ensure adaptability.
