SealBlock launches first hot cryptocurrency hardware wallet

SealBlock launches first hot cryptocurrency hardware wallet

SealBlock, a programmable, hardware-based hot wallet solution for securing digital assets of consumers and businesses recently launched a unique hardware-based hot wallet solution, designed to enable consumers and businesses to hold their digital assets in a highly-secure but connected location.

The new solution addresses the needs of token funds, exchanges, project operators, miners, traders, and other industry players who require sophisticated crypto wallet solutions. The SealBlock solution addresses the most pressing security challenge in crypto asset management today – the protection of the private keys that are used to sign online transactions.

These private keys are highly vulnerable to both external hackers and unauthorized internal access. As a result, many companies employ “cold wallets” to store their keys offline. Although security is improved, the efficiency of trading and transacting is dramatically reduced, and maintenance and management cost increases.

SealBlock provides a programmable policy engine which binds a set of signing policies to each private key(wallet). The policies include the multi-signature policy, whitelist policy, amount limit policy, etc. A transaction will not be signed by the private key unless all signing policies are satisfied.

Moreover, SealBlock employs Intel SGX hardware enclave technology to protect private keys, transaction signing, and the security policies. Intel SGX creates a chip level encryption boundary isolated even from the operating system. With this security by design approach, SealBlock hardware wallet can be connected 24/7 online to serve queries while maintaining a level of security similar to a cold wallet.

[perfectpullquote align=”full” bordertop=”false” cite=”Richard Yu, CEO of SealBlock” link=”” color=”” class=”” size=””]”SealBlock marries the convenience of software hot wallets with the security that hardware cold wallets provide. We believe that this wallet solution offers a secure and effective solution for anyone storing and trading digital assets.”[/perfectpullquote]

In addition to protecting user’s digit assets, SealBlock solution can also be used to protect other data from users, such as PII data and sensitive business records. SealBlock will build up the community and release SDKs so that developers can easily create highly-secure blockchain solutions based on the SealBlock technology.

Businesses already adopting new technology

SealBlock has released the first version of its hardware hot wallet and successfully engaged early customers in Silicon Valley area, including SWFT Blockchain, uMining, SVBC, and 6M Capital.

The SWFT Blockchain platform is a one-stop, cross-chain crypto transfer service. “SealBlock hardware hot wallet solution significantly improves security while improving internal efficiencies,” said SWFT CFO Alex Witt. SWFT Blockchain plans to use SealBlock for hardware-based hot wallets.

[perfectpullquote align=”full” bordertop=”false” cite=”Terry Xing, CTO of Umining” link=”” color=”” class=”” size=””]”We possess a large amount of cryptocurrencies for our customers, so we need a highly secure wallet solution. SealBlock hardware wallet supports multi-sig policy with which we can easily manage the assets with multiple team members.”[/perfectpullquote]

SealBlock is currently conducting its first round of financing and has received great interest from many investors in Silicon Valley and around the world, including Whales Capital and ASB Venture, etc. All investors are offered to use SealBlock wallets for securing part of their digital assets so that they can have a first-hand experience on SealBlock service.
