Keycard Launches Pre-Sale For Shell: The Most Open, Modular Hardware Wallet To Date

Zug, Switzerland, April 23rd, 2025/Chainwire/-Keycard, a hardware-supported Status team-supported company wallet, is proud to announce the pre-sale launch of the ShellA revolutionary, fully open hardware wallet source.

Designed using modularity, transparency, and uncompromising security at its core, the shell allows users that seamlessly manage many wallets through interchangeable smart cards – called keycards – for improved comfort and safety.

Early supporters can now pre-order a shell bundled with two keycards at a discount rate and get access to exclusive pre-launch rewards before its global release in October 2025.

Re -define the architecture of the hardware wallet

Current hardware wallets often market themselves as transparent and open resources, however many lack of real transparency in their designs-rising to closed-source components, exported keys, or upgraded secure elements that weaken the user's confidence. The shell sets a new benchmark in the purse architecture.

“Hardware wallets require a complete re-imagine,” said Guy-Louis Grau, leading the keycard project. “Users rarely realize that most hardware wallets allow private keys to be exported out of safe elements or rely on upgrades safe elements -both where device integrity and transparency will be compromised.”

Shell is powered by Keycard. Moreover, the keycard firmware will not be upgraded by design, providing long-term assurance that the device's behavior will never change to post-manufacture manufacture.

Shell: built for transparency, security, and control
