Part 3/11:
Ryder packs a lot of innovative features into a compact device, making it especially attractive for users seeking simplicity and security. Its setup process is straightforward, taking roughly 60 seconds, similar to its predecessor, Tandem—but with notable enhancements. The wallet employs a seedless setup initially, with an optional view of the seed phrase post-configuration for added security, which you can access via the app after setting a PIN.
Unlike Tandem, which approves transactions on the phone screen, Ryder uses a physical NFC device that physically taps the phone during transactions, requiring confirmation directly on the device. This "tap to sign" experience makes it more tactile and arguably more secure, as physical interaction confirms each transaction.
