At HeadStarter, we strongly believe that security is within everyone’s responsibility and we all must strive to separate our assets from possible 3rd party interferences, exploits, policy. As the famous words go, “Not your keys, Not your coins”. This is why we are very proud to team up with Citadel Wallet, a modern companion device that allows users to safely store their private key & seed phrases, on-DLT assets, access decentralized applications and securely sign and approve transactions.

Citadel Wallet is a purpose-built hardware wallet designed to support the Hedera network’s architecture and technology. The wallet development involves enterprise grade security implementation, long battery life, and high performance in mind. It supports $HBAR, HTS native fungible and non-fungible tokens along with all other services unique to the Hedera DLT, including Native Staking, Scheduled Transactions, Smart Contracts 2.0, HCS and more.

The versatile wallet is suitable for everyday users, projects, and even enterprises, and a software development kit will be provided to make it easy for both users and developers to access Hedera’s core features and integrate Citadel Wallet into their distributed applications or software wallets.

Blockchain technology and web3 phenomena offers users full control over their accounts, assets and transactions without the need of intermediaries. This is outstanding when it comes to reliability and being censorship-resistant but also creates a new-found responsibility for account security. To mitigate risks, we have seen an influx of users adoption hardware wallets to securely manage their cryptocurrency accounts and holdings. As the Hedera ecosystem grows with over 90,000 weekly active users, account security measures need to be increased to protect user funds and assets, especially with the growing number of digital assets like NFTs and tokens.

Citadel Wallet offers the perfect solution for secure account management, giving users peace of mind as the network continues to grow. It is essential to prioritize account security to prevent loss or theft of private keys.
