Even though the blockchain with its decentralized approach is essentially trustless, a normal user still places some trust in the tools they’re using to engage with it. This trust comes from the awareness that through the openness of a project, other developers have the ability to carefully comb through the source code and sound alarm if they find inconsistencies.

We, the AirGap team, want to contribute to the thriving blockchain ecosystem with this project and hope that we can help to foster it even more. This can happen only through collaboration of various projects and developers, that’s why we invite anyone to take a closer look at AirGap. We are eager to hear your feedback, look at bug reports, merge improvements and work closely together with other teams.

¬ AirGap VaultThe AirGap Vault is installed on a dedicated or old smartphone that has no connection to any network, thus it is air gapped. This app handles the private key. This is an Ionic application for Android & iOS written in Typescript and uses the AirGap Secure Storage to store the o store the key to your secret in the secure enclave.

¬ AirGap WalletThe AirGap Wallet is installed on an everyday smartphone. This app has only access to public information. This is an Ionic application as well for Android & iOS written in Typescript.

¬ AirGap coin-lib Due to the blockchain agnostic approach of AirGap, we’ve built the coin-lib to create a consistent standard for preparing, signing and broadcasting. Currently supports Bitcoin, Ethereum and the Aeternity ERC20 token.

¬ AirGap Secure Storage Cordova PluginThis Cordova plugin provides a unified interface to securely store data using encryption keys embedded in the secure element of Android and iOS devices. To work, Secure Storage requires a secure lock-screen setup, either secured by a PIN / Pattern or Fingerprint. Otherwise, the keystore cannot be used to safely store data.

The repos can be found on our GitHub.
