Create A DIY Hardware Wallet Using Signatory

Signatory is an offline transaction and message signer for the Ethereum Stack. It can be used as a standalone server and implemented in nodejs projects. Vbstreetz’s submission created a modern, elegant, Ethereum Stack wallet powered by Signatory and packed his solution with features by embracing the Signatory API. If developers are looking to build upon an open-source wallet that’s usable on any EVM-based network, then by all means check this out!
