- Full Description
-
The Polish company located in the centre of the country was established in 2020 as a R&D subsidiary of Switzerland based enterprise. The origins of the project date back to mid-2017, when one of the founders, who was already an active user of virtual currencies at the time (since 2014), came up with a technical solution based on air gap, which finds its application today in the developed device. The idea boiled down to designing a hardware wallet that would be completely self-contained (not requiring connection to an external device such as a laptop), while providing the maximum degree of security. The device will enable user-friendly and fully secure (immune to cyberattacks) storage and use of private keys used for signing (authorizing) transactions, including these on cryptocurrencies (primarily Bitcoin and Ethereum) and electronic authorization of digital identity. The project is co-financed by the European Union from the European Regional Development Fund under the Smart Growth Operational Programme 2014-2020. Grant from the National Center for Research and Development was awarded in 2020.
They operate on the most advanced privacy-focused and security-oriented solutions in blockchain technology. They develop software, including their bespoke Linux-based operating system built in C and VHDL (Very High Speed Integrated Circuit Hardware Description Language) only. They design hardware on industrial-grade equipment, including PXI (PCI eXtensions for Instrumentation), automatic SMD (Surface-mount devices) assembly line and high-class oscilloscopes.
The preparation for production is ongoing. The Polish company plans to make first short prototype series (100 units) in 2025. Now investors and partners to setup distribution channels are sought. The commercial agreement with technical assistance, financial and license agreements are envisaged as basic cooperation types. - Advantages and Innovations
- The company develops and provides services and products in the field of digital authentication, digital signatures and cryptographic procedures, including the production of relevant equipment. In addition, the company may acquire shares and manage shares in other companies, as well as acquire intangible assets and manage intangible assets.The patented system and a method for signing transactions using air-gapped private keys allows full isolation of cryptographic keys from online access. High-end, stand-alone mobile device is an innovative product that empowers users to efficiently protect their digital possession and identity.
