crypto finally built airplane mode for your keys.
@faradaysigner joins the IKA Space to talk air-gapped signing, QR-only wallets, and why your private keys should never touch the internet.
no wifi. no bluetooth. no nfc. you just scan.
set reminder ↓
the biggest threat to crypto isn't the blockchain, it's the moment you click "Approve."
in February 2025, the crypto industry witnessed one of its biggest security disasters when approximately $1.5 billion was stolen from Bybit.
what makes the incident particularly alarming is that the attackers didn't break Bitcoin's cryptography, crack Ethereum's security or somehow defeat blockchain technology. Instead, they exploited the transaction approval process itself, manipulating what signers saw and ultimately causing a legitimate transaction to authorize something entirely different.
and the scary part is how most crypto users looked at the incident and thought:
“That could never happen to me.”
but that’s exactly the wrong conclusion because the biggest threat to your wallet isn’t always someone stealing your private keys.
sometimes, it’s you signing the wrong transaction.
@faradaysigner was built to solve exactly that by keeping private keys completely offline and transforming complex transactions into clear, human-readable instructions before signing.

Thanks a lot to @LaFamilia_so for this, and for your continuous support on all the spanish projects!! Congratulations to my incredible colleagues at @faradaysigner, @nahem@_cxalem !!
Docenas de proyectos participaron en este pasado Frontier Hackathon por la oportunidad de ganar el sidetrack de LaFamilia.
Recibimos propuestas de todo tipo, desde herramientas para creadores y DeFi hasta ideas completamente nuevas, resaltando el talento hispano.
Después de revisar cada proyecto, estos fueron los ganadores:
Wondering how an offline device signs online transactions?
QR codes. No Bluetooth. No WiFi. No NFC.
Build a tx in any Solana app. The extension shows a QR. Scan it with a Faraday cage!
Review on the device screen. Approve. Get a signed QR. Scan it back.
@d3h3d_@faradaysigner It’s always such a blast chatting with people who share the same mindset! Let's keep in touch and stay on each other's radar. Some great things will turn up.

We built an air-gapped Solana signer on a Pi Zero.
No WiFi, no Bluetooth, no network. Keys never touch the internet. QR in, QR out!
These have been incredible weeks of building!
@toly@mdudas@faradaysigner is an air-gapped signing device and hardware wallet for Solana, where your keys never touch the internet and you see exactly what you are signing even if your computer has been compromised https://t.co/lA8DUB98ql
