Ellipal: Innovating Security in the World of Hardware Wallets

Ellipal's Social Media Manager, Mia Yang, discusses the innovative features setting Ellipal apart in the hardware wallet market.

Mia Yang, Social Media Manager at Ellipal Ltd, shares insights into the innovative features that set Ellipal’s cold wallet apart in the crypto market. The hardware wallet landscape has seen its fair share of developments since 2014, but Ellipal stands out by designing a fully air-gapped, 100% offline cold wallet that employs QR codes for transactions, steering clear of major vulnerabilities. Of special interest is the fact that it’s the only hardware wallet that natively supports BSV.

Why Ellipal stands out with its air-gapped wallet technology

One distinctive feature that Mia emphasises is Ellipal’s commitment to security. Unlike many other hardware wallets that rely on cables such as USB, Bluetooth, or NFC to connect with devices, Ellipal has embraced a fully air-gapped approach. This ensures that the wallet remains impervious to online attacks, a growing concern in the crypto community.

Ellipal takes this commitment a step further with the introduction of offline security upgrades. Mia highlights that Ellipal is the only player in the market offering an offline upgrade solution with a security adaptor. This unique design allows users to upgrade their device securely, offline, and without the need for potentially risky connections to laptops or other devices. The result is a cold wallet that remains a fortress against potential backdoor threats, even during the upgrading process.

Physical fortifications against tampering

Ellipal’s dedication to security extends beyond digital measures. Mia reveals a physical safeguard against tampering – a one-piece, strong metal body for the entire device. This construction ensures that the wallet cannot be opened or tampered with. Attempting to do so triggers a self-destruct process, rendering the wallet unusable once opened.

This not only prevents unauthorised access but also safeguards against potential malware insertion, offering users peace of mind even when the wallet is not in their immediate possession.

Ellipal’s commitment to security has not gone unnoticed. Mia proudly mentions that Forbes has recognised Ellipal as one of the top three most secure hardware wallets in the market.

Support for BSV since 2019

Ellipal has been supporting BSV since 2019, making it a pioneer in providing secure storage for this particular digital asset. Even now, Ellipal remains the only hardware wallet supporting BSV, underlining its dedication to staying ahead in terms of both security and compatibility.
