Hardware Wallets

11 stories
Hardware Wallets groups physical devices designed to keep cryptocurrency signing keys isolated from an internet-connected computer or phone. Products in this section may use secure elements, air-gapped QR workflows, USB, Bluetooth, NFC, touchscreens, buttons, biometric controls, or removable backup media, but all rely on explicit transaction review and recovery procedures. Coverage includes firmware releases, supported signing standards, supply-chain security, companion applications, backup design, vulnerabilities, discontinued models, and usability. Software-only wallets and custodial accounts belong elsewhere because they do not use a dedicated signing device.
