The highest form of security is not stronger defense, it is the absence of threat. Eliminate the attack surface, and there is nothing left to breach.

Any security promise that cannot be independently verified is not a promise, it is a claim. Real security invites scrutiny.
The best trust is the kind you never have to give. When a system proves itself by design, you don't need to trust anyone, not even us.
Security begins before the product exists, in how we write code and choose components.
Every device is produced under controlled authorization, the factory can only manufacture what we approve.
The factory can only manufacture devices that ELLIPAL has explicitly authorized. Each production batch has a fixed quantity cap and an expiration window; once either limit is reached, the production line stops, no additional units can be manufactured without a new authorization cycle from ELLIPAL.
Even with full access to materials and equipment, the factory cannot produce working devices beyond what we authorize. The system enforces hard limits on duplicate registrations, and any anomaly is flagged and blocked at the source.
Authorization is not simply "the server says OK." Each device independently verifies the authorization it receives, using the same method as our server. If the result doesn't match, the device rejects it. The factory cannot forge an authorization, and the device won't blindly accept one. This is our trustless principle applied to the production line itself.
Most hardware wallets rely on a tamper-evident sticker on the packaging. We don't, because every ELLIPAL device is tamper-evident at the hardware level, opening it destroys it. A sticker protects the box. Our design protects the device.
Milled from a single block of metal. Components are inserted from the front and sealed with the display. No screws, no seams, no entry points.
2 months of testing — selected from a worldwide search, tested under constant-temperature, constant-humidity, and high-temperature conditions. Its melting point exceeds the touchscreen's thermal tolerance — by the time the adhesive softens, the screen is already visibly damaged.
once assembled, the housing cannot be reopened without visible destruction. Opening it also triggers an automatic wipe of all private keys — the device becomes inoperable. Self-destruct on breach — environmental sensors (light, temperature) detect intrusion attempts and trigger an automatic wipe of all private keys. Even if a device is lost, your assets stay safe during the time window you need to move them to a new wallet.
A device intercepted during shipping could be opened, implanted with a tracker or WiFi transmitter, and resealed — the user powers on, enters their PIN, and an attacker captures it without ever knowing. Our hardware design makes this physically impossible without leaving visible damage.
Different threats require different defenses. Here's how each product in the ELLIPAL system protects you.
| Attack Type | Way | ELLIPAL Cold Wallet |
|---|---|---|
| Remote / Network Attack | Hackers exploit wired or wireless connections to steal keys | ✓ |
| Supply-Chain / Logistics Attack | Device intercepted and tampered with during shipping before reaching you | ✓ |
| Physical Tampering / Evil Maid | Attacker opens the device to tamper with hardware or extract data | ✓ |
| Clipboard Hijacking | Malware replaces the recipient address when you copy-paste during a transfer | ✓ |
| $5 Wrench Attack / Coercion | You are physically forced to hand over your crypto | ✓ |
Never share your holdings publicly. Social media posts showing balances or wallet addresses have directly led to targeted attacks. Use a delivery address that isn't your home.
We only contact you through our published official channels. Any email asking for your seed phrase, private key, or requesting you to "verify" your wallet is a scam, always.
Clipboard-hijacking malware can silently replace the destination address when you copy-paste. Always compare the address on your hardware wallet's screen with the one shown in the app before confirming any transaction.
Record it on your Seed Phrase Steel or paper, never store it digitally. Keep it in a secure physical location. If someone has your seed phrase, they have your assets, regardless of your hardware.
Don't put all your assets in one place. Distribute across multiple wallets and consider using different types of storage for different amounts, just like you wouldn't keep all your savings in one bank account.
Phishing links are the most common way crypto gets stolen, fake DApps, airdrop scams, urgent "verify your wallet" messages. No matter how secure your hardware wallet is, clicking a malicious link and signing a transaction gives attackers permission to drain your assets. When in doubt, don't click.
