Presentation of the first hardware cryptocool in Ukraine was held
The company Hideaz Group at the presentation in Kiev's Blockchain Hub showed the first hardware purse for bitcoins and other crypto-currencies in Ukraine, Hideez Wallet, reports AIN.ua.
Hideez Wallet is created on the basis of the already developed device - the smart keychain Hideez Key, however it is a completely separate product with the functions of the crypto-currency purse.
Wireless keychain Hideez Key can store digital keys and certificates, that is, it can open doors, unlock a computer or a smartphone, make mobile payments, etc.
According to Oleg Naumenko, CEO of the project, Hideez Wallet differs from existing analogues (the same Trezor) in that it is a wireless device that can work with mobile phones and desktops. To sign transactions, it uses the technology Invisible Pin, which works as a combination of short and long button presses on the device.
"It's impossible to spy on it and intercept it, like passwords or standard PIN-codes, for example," Naumenko said.
It is also possible to create a backup copy of a private key - from one device to another.
In addition to bitcoin, Hideez Wallet supports Ethereum and tokens ERC-20, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, Namecoin, Zcash and other altcoyins.
It is reported that the company has already produced the first batch of test devices. The beginning of mass production is planned for the end of the second quarter of 2018. The sale of devices to authorize their users is also launched by the Kuna exchange.
Let's remind, in January the manufacturer of popular hardware wallets Ledger announced the closing of the round of financing of the Series B, following which he attracted a total of $ 75 million.
