LATEST: 🇯🇵 South Korea's Shinhan Card is partnering with SBI VC Trade and SBI XDC Network APAC to pilot yen stablecoin payments for travelers and cross-border trade between South Korea and Japan.
I’ve been looking at alternatives too, but I think there is an important distinction when comparing hardware-wallet manufacturers.
Several major providers have had security incidents or vulnerabilities. Ledger had its customer-data breach and later the Connect Kit supply-chain attack. Tangem had an app logging issue involving private-key data under certain seed-based setups. Trezor has had customer-data incidents involving third parties. And now D’CENT has the App Wallet incident.
But these are not all hardware-wallet compromises.
So far, I haven’t seen evidence that the D’CENT Biometric hardware wallet itself has been compromised. The current incident concerns the software/App Wallet, while the exact root cause still needs a proper technical post-mortem.
For me, the more useful comparison is therefore not simply “Which company has never had an incident?” but:
What exactly was compromised? Could it lead to asset loss? Were hardware-protected keys affected? How did the company respond? And did they publish a transparent technical post-mortem afterwards?
That’s also why I’m looking at D’CENT, Tangem, Ledger, Trezor and BitBox rather than rushing to move everything just because another manufacturer has never appeared in this particular incident.
And one rule remains the same regardless of manufacturer: if I change hardware wallets, I create a completely new seed on the new hardware and transfer the assets. I never migrate an old seed from a potentially exposed wallet.
일본 최대 규모의 암호자산 거래소 중 하나인 bitFlyer에서 XDC 지원이 시작되는 것을 환영합니다.
이번 지원은 일본 시장에서 XDC의 접근성과 인지도를 높이는 중요한 이정표가 될 것으로 기대합니다.
SBI XDC Network APAC는 앞으로도 APAC 지역 전반에서 XDC의 인지도 제고와 다양한 활용 사례 확대를 위해 지속적으로 노력하겠습니다.

Operational Update
Our hosting facility operator has given notice that the site will cease hosting operations. The decision applies to the entire facility and affects all customers hosted there.
We have secured a two-week transition period during which our miners continue to operate, and discussions remain ongoing.
Further updates to follow.
“Oracles are boring.”
Fair point from @KapilKhuranadxb.
They don’t have the spectacle of a game or a DeFi app. They sit underneath them, moving prices, reserve data, asset values and other offchain information into contracts.
The boring stuff tends to become infrastructure.
