This week, we launched Passport Prime into the world. We showed you how Passport Prime is built. KeyOS. QuantumLink. The open source hardware. The security architecture from top to bottom. But security architecture doesn't mean much if it doesn't solve real problems for real people. So let's talk about what Passport Prime actually does for you, every single day. Bitcoin wallet, Passport Prime is a best-in-class Bitcoin hardware wallet. Multisig. Passphrases. Temporary seeds. It supports every major Bitcoin software wallet you already use, and it pairs seamlessly with Envoy via QuantumLink. No more squinting at QR codes under bad lighting. Just tap, authorize, done. 2FA codes, offline. Right now, your two-factor authentication codes probably live on your phone. The same phone that's connected to the internet 24 hours a day. Passport Prime stores your 2FA codes in a secure, offline environment. If someone compromises your phone, your 2FA codes aren't there to find. Security keys, Passport Prime replaces every YubiKey you own. Create multiple security keys and use them over NFC. Tap your Passport Prime to log in. No more juggling a drawer full of keys. Encrypted file storage, 50 GB of secure, offline storage for your most important files. Tax documents. Recovery phrases. Legal records. Whatever you need to protect. Here's what makes it different: when you plug Passport Prime into your computer, it only exposes the files in your Airlock, a sandboxed folder you control. Everything else stays hidden. Seed vault, If you're deep in Bitcoin, you know the chaos of managing seed words across multiple wallets. Passport Prime brings them all into one place. Create new seeds, temporarily load existing ones, organize them all in the Seed Vault app. You can also manually add your most secure passwords. We're just getting started. Everything above ships today. KeyOS, the custom operating system powering Passport Prime, was built from day one as a developer platform. Every app runs in its own sandbox. Every app receives a hardened child seed, meaning even a malicious app has zero access to your master seed and cannot communicate with other apps. This is what unlocks everything. We are opening the developer SDK so that any team can build apps for KeyOS. Our friends at @cakewallet are already building the first third-party app. But think about what comes next: password managers that never touch the internet. Encrypted messaging key storage. Nostr identity management. PGP signing. The possibilities are as wide as the developer community that builds on it. One device that starts as the most capable personal security device on the market, and only gets more powerful over time. Passport Prime. Open source. Made in the USA. This is what taking control of your digital life actually looks like. 🧡







@FOUNDATIONdvcs What do you know, the USD balance in my LN wallet happens to have enough funds in it (thanks NGU)... I wasn't planning to buy another HW wallet today, but looks like it's happening.
