What coins are going to be listed on HashWallet and when can we expect that prototype wallet version is going to be released?

HASHWallet supports the major cryptocurrencies, including the most widely used currencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and many others. Also, it is ready to hold any token based on the ERC-20 protocol. We will release an article soon regarding supported coins. Please subscribe to our newsletter to get the latest updates and news. We will never spam you.


Hey joniboini, You always can store the recovery items for yourself without the need for our vault service. The option of giving the user the opportunity to store the recovery key in another NFC card is something we are thinking about.

So it's like that. I thought the vault was mandatory based on your wording.

Is there an approximate price point for this wallet?


We will announce the price in the coming weeks. If you have subscribed to our newsletter, you will soon see our email containing our article with the Indiegogo announcement, which should have the price. You will be able to buy with a good premium than the retail market prices after the Indiegogo sale.

We will release more info on that in the next month. Our path will be m/44'/0'/0' and this is compatible with Electrum. You can recover the wallets in Electrum but we cannot answer now for MEW.

m/44 generate legacy address, will HASHWallet support path m/49 and m/84 which generate P2SH SegWit and Native SegWit?

I understand you very well. We will generate a roadmap including this subject in several steps.

It sounds interesting, but I have 2 question
1. Is it open source or partially open-source?
2. Is it possible to recover my coins only to other wallet besides this wallet such as Electrum and MEW?


Hey ETFBitcoin, Firstly I have to tell you HASHWallet is still under development. But the plan is;

App -> Open source
Firmware --> Partially Open Source

We will release more info on that in the next month. Our path will be m/44'/0'/0' and this is compatible with Electrum. You can recover the wallets in Electrum but we cannot answer now for MEW.

From your website, I was looking at the recovery process
Once the new HASHWallet has been initialized, we perform the recovery process by loading our Recovery Seed from the Seed Card and the Recovery Key from the custody service or from our own source.
Can you explain what this "custody service" is? and/or "your own source"?


"If I lose my HASHWallet, how can I get my public and private keys back?"
HASHWallet comes with two additional cards named Smart Seed Cards. When the device is first initialized, it will pair with the seed cards via NFC, so these will store a Recovery Seed. Also, during this set-up process the card will generate a Recovery Key, which will be stored on the eSignus Vault. In case of losing the device, simply purchase a new HASHWallet and recover the keys from one of the Seed cards and the Recovery Key.
"If eSignus disappears, how do I access my Recovery Key?"
In the rare event that eSignus ceases to operate, there would be a period where HASHWallet users could download their Recovery Key and store it by themselves.
Is the end user not actually in control of the recovery key? Huh Honestly, that seems like a bit of a deal breaker to me... Undecided


Hey HCP, As mentioned on the webpage, the recovery system is built with two different items, a recovery seed, and a recovery key. The recovery seed is stored in an NFC card (you can save more than one card), and for the recovery key, you can choose either to store yourself the recovery key or to send the recovery key to our vault, where we will store it for you. We will have secure storage for all the customers that want to store their recovery keys. You are always in control of your recovery items.
You will be able to access your recovery keys whenever you want, they are your recovery keys. In the rare case we cease operations, you will be able to access them or we will find a way to send them to you.


In all honestly that explanation sounds like a fancy and technical way to explain that users have no control of their private keys.
The OP mentions that the keys are not based on any seed but from the quotes, HCP pulled "recovery seeds" and "seed cards" are stored with at least 2 different parties.

What are we supposed to do with the "Recovery Keys" in case you cease your operations?


Hey Pmalek, You can store them for yourself. Remember that if someone has access to them, they can't do anything with the recovery keys. They will need to access physically your recovery seed to recover your wallet.


The recovery key should be stored on another NFC card instead of a third-party vault. Don't add an additional point of failure and let people be their own bank.

I'm all about the recovery... behind the actual security of the private keys, this is the biggest thing for me.

Protect your cryptoassets with the strongest level of security.







HASHWallet is based on an innovative technology deployed on a smart card that allows the user to authenticate or sign a transaction, in a secure environment that avoids any risk of impersonation and the possibility of fraud.


Most Secure

There are two keys that, separately, make this card the safest device possible.

The first is to be WYSIWYS, the acronym for “What You See Is What You Sign.” We sign what we see in a large screen, but without relying on intermediaries as all other platforms do. The underlying idea is not to rely on an elaborate system but a straightforward one, and to ensure that all security is in the device itself, not in a system. This way of working eliminates the security problem that is the Achilles heel of the other solutions, the so-called “Man in the Middle” attack.







The second is to be a non-programmable device. It will be a bit less flexible device since it won’t be upgradeable, but this particular feature makes it invulnerable to external attacks.  





The problem

In a decentralized system, the user is the only keeper of the security of his assets. Transactions are irreversible, there is no superior entity to cover fraud losses, and in the Blockchain, ecosystem thieves act more unpunished.

Being in a still immature market, formed by many inexperienced users, it is still relatively easy to get unauthorized access to most of the existing custody systems.

The substantial growth in the volume of users and the value of their assets involves higher risks, such as:

Loss of private keys
Phishing attacks
Key hacking
Keystroke logging
... and more to come


Our Solution

HASHWallet is a new generation of hard wallets that brings together the strongest level of security with ease of use and high operations speed. All in a comfortable and solid smart card, with a large e-ink screen and full of premium features.





You can’t steal what you don’t know

HASHWallet incorporates public-private key technology. When the card is initialized for the first time, it generates the key pairs in a random way and not based on any seed. The private key is kept inside without anyone knowing it, not even the user. Thus, what is not known and inaccessible is impossible to steal.


An innovative key recovery system

Forget about endless lists of words on a piece of paper. Thanks to a disruptive key recovery system, users have a new tool to prevent 100% loss of their cryptocurrencies — the highest level of trust, coupled with friendly and straightforward user experience.
