Shell: Redefining Wallet Architecture
Existing wallets tongue-wag about transparency and openness yet rely on sketchy bits like closed-source components and upgradeable secure elements. Shell flips the script.
"Hardware wallets need a kick in the pants," says Keycard PM, Guy-Louis Grau. "Users need to realize most of these wallets let private keys out of the secure vault or depend on upgradeable secure elements-a recipe for disaster."
Shell's juice comes from the Keycard, an EAL6+ certified, fully open-source smart card that locks down transactions and keys. Thanks to this, secrets never see the light of day outside the fortified hardware[1]. Even better, Keycard firmware can't be updated, ensuring the device's behavior won't alter post-manufacturing[1].
A Hardware Wallet for the People
Shell isn't just a safe place for your crypto; it's a tool tailored for those who crave control over their hardware and digital assets:
- Open-Source On Steroids: 100% transparent across every layer-from chip software to hardware layout and 3D-printable casing[1]-beating the transparency of leading competitors.
- Keycards Galore: Store multiple seed phrases, or use backups with bonus safety-even if the chief card falls into the wrong hands, the rest remain safe.
- Air-Gapped Fun: Sign transactions securely via Shell's built-in camera and QR code scanning-nix the USB, Bluetooth, or Wi-Fi weirdness[2].
- Duress PIN: Secure against brute force with a second PIN, guarding your prized possessions when under pressure.
- Crossover Compatibility: Play nice with major EVM and Bitcoin wallets like MetaMask, Rabby, BackPack, imToken, UniSat, BlueWallet and more[2].
- Flexi-Design: Easily swap out Keycards for upgrades or adapt to changing standards, unlike most static rivals[3].
