Hardware wallets play a crucial role in securing digital assets by providing an offline, tamper-resistant environment for cryptographic key storage.

Unlike software wallets, which are vulnerable to malware and cyber threats, hardware wallets offer the highest level of security for protecting wealth, cryptocurrencies, and other valuable digital assets. By keeping private keys isolated from connected systems, they safeguard users against unauthorized access, theft, and hacking attempts, ensuring long-term resilience and trust in financial security.

Enhance your hardware wallet security by integrating a dedicated secure element for cryptographic key storage and operations. TROPIC01 was designed with the highest level of physical security features required by the Bitcoin hardware wallet market segment, ensuring the necessary security for cryptocurrency storage.

‍TROPIC01’s open design allows anyone to run a comprehensive audit on the security implementations. The transparency of the chip ensures verifiable trust in safeguarding your hardware wallet’s digital assets.

TROPIC01 is equipped with robust tamper resistance and highly secure hardware cryptographic accelerators, ensuring protection against physical tampering and side-channel attacks—even when the device is powered off.

Key Business Benefits of Having an Open Architecture Secure Element

• Continuous Security – Ongoing testing and auditing of the chip’s security by the network of security experts and the open-source community, including reactive resolution to any issues.
• Faster Time-to-Market – Open-source references, integrations, and community support available without signing an NDA for immediate development.
• Reduced Development Cost – Unrestricted use of all Tropic Square software components for solution development.
• Customer Reassurance – Verifiable claims of having hardware with no backdoors, hidden features, or enclosed vulnerabilities.
