It’s finally here. Access over 1000 cryptocurrencies and experience Keystone’s 100% air-gapped QR code communication — sign what you see and verify your transactions with ease.

Using QR codes for data transmission creates the optimal “air-gapped” solution for your hardware wallet, reducing the chances for attacks that could otherwise slip through the cracks when using USB, NFC, or Bluetooth.

By using Keystone, you create an extra layer of protection for your digital assets with their unique security features. Let’s take Secure Element for example: a bank-grade technology that generates highly secure private keys, and protects them even if you lose possession of your physical device.

They even offer additional security by reducing the chance of human error. With an intuitive user interface placed on a spacious 4-inch touchscreen display, you can avoid misclicks and easily triple-check your transactions before a final confirmation using their built-in fingerprint sensor.

If you’re looking to get started with Keystone, follow the instructions below to connect your device with BlockWallet.
