BitBox02

Cold Storage

BitBox02 is a hardware wallet made by Shift Crypto in Zurich, Switzerland, available in a Bitcoin-only edition and a multi-edition supporting other cryptocurrencies. The device features a minimalist capacitive touch slider interface, an OLED display, a secure chip, and fully open-source hardware and firmware. The Bitcoin-only edition reduces the attack surface by removing all multi-coin code, and the BitBoxApp provides an intuitive desktop companion supporting coin control, multisig, and Tor.
