Arculus Cold Storage Wallet

Cold Storage

Arculus is a credit card-sized cold storage hardware wallet that uses NFC to sign transactions on a paired mobile app — no cables or ports needed. Private keys never leave the card's EAL6+ certified secure element, and transactions are protected by three-factor authentication combining the card, a PIN, and biometrics. The card requires no battery and can be stored discreetly alongside other cards.

Ledger Nano X

Ledger Nano X is Ledger's flagship Bluetooth-enabled hardware wallet, released in 2019. It supports over 5,500 cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin and offers wireless connectivity for use with the Ledger Live mobile app on iOS and Android. The Nano X features a larger screen than its predecessors, a built-in battery for mobile use, and can store up to 100 apps simultaneously.
