Don’t trust. Read the BIPs.
Because nobody does.
They’re written by developers, for developers.
So I built BIP Explorer: all 213 Bitcoin Improvement Proposals in plain English, plus a map of how each one led to the next.

For the past few months, we’ve been turning the swap stack behind ShapeShift into something other builders can use.
Now it’s ready.
Use the Widget to ship quickly or integrate the API to own the interface.
Both are free to integrate!
GrapheneOS is partnered with Motorola Mobility which is Lenovo's mobile division. Motorola Solutions is an entirely different company from the one working with GrapheneOS. These companies aren't part of the same business and don't have the same ownership.
In 2011, Motorola was split into Motorola Mobility and Motorola Solutions. Google acquired Motorola Mobility in 2012 and sold it to Lenovo in 2014. Motorola Mobility is the company selling smartphones and tablets.
Motorola Solutions is a separate company. It's the continuation of the government contract side of Motorola selling radios, cameras and now drones. Both share the same brand for historical reasons but are entirely different things.
People regularly get the companies mixed up due to both using the Motorola brand. It's Motorola Solutions making surveillance cameras, not Motorola Mobility. We're only working with Motorola Mobility.
We're working with Motorola Mobility on upcoming devices meeting all of our requirements for updates and security protections. These devices will provide official support for GrapheneOS and we'll be provided with everything we need to provide proper updates. The first device with GrapheneOS support will be a very high end flagship but it will expand further from there.
Sparrow v2.5.5 has been released with a number of bug fixes following recent security reviews, and adds a system theme option following the OS light or dark setting.
Thank you to all the contributors and security researchers who provided input on this release.

@RobinhoodApp is now integrated into ShapeShift.
Here's what you can do:
1. Move ETH into Robinhood chain
2. Trade ETH, USDG and other supported assets
The death toll of the Russian missile strikes against Kyiv has risen to 15 civilians.
This video shows 2 North Korean ballistic missiles hitting the capital city of a European country.
people who stored their btc on coldcard got drained because of entropy.
the seed generation was reproducible, anyone could recompute their keys.
so i went through every other hardware wallet to see how they make your seed, and whether the same thing can happen again.
@Trezor: mixes the device's randomness with randomness from your computer, and the device has to prove it used both. even if its chip is fully broken, you're still fine. the best design here by far.
@BitBoxSwiss: 5 separate sources of randomness combined. one bad source can't sink you. open source, reproducible builds, dice supported.
@FoundationHQ: built their own randomness circuit out of plain resistors and capacitors, open source, on top of two other sources. no black-box chip to trust. supports dice.
@KeystoneWallet: 2 secure chips from 2 different manufacturers, combined. also lets you roll 99 dice and publishes how to check the result yourself.
@Blockstream: jade pulls from 7 things: radio noise, cpu counters, battery, temperature, camera, your input, the app. very hard to break all of them.
@SeedSigner: your dice are the only source. no chip to trust at all. and they ship a guide teaching you to verify their own math. weakest hardware, strongest proof.
@OneKey: secure element plus mcu combined on device, open source firmware. solid, but you can't add your own randomness.
@Ledger: one certified chip (AIS-31, EAL5+). good randomness. but it's a single source, closed source, and you cannot verify any of it. you're trusting them completely.
@Tangem: key is born inside the chip and never comes out. audited by three firms. same trade: strong, and impossible for you to check by design.
@ngrave_official: mixes chip randomness with your fingerprint and room light. clever. but the "EAL7" badge covers one software component, not the whole device.
@ELLIPAL: single certified chip, no software fallback, fails closed instead of guessing. closed source, so take it on faith.
@SafePal: 2 chips mixed. they've never published the details.
@COLDCARDwallet: patched now, and dice on coldcard were always verifiable. but every seed made between 2021 and 2026 is permanently burned.
one source = ledger, tangem, ellipal. that one source fails, everything fails. their answer is to make it excellent and certified. that's exactly the bet coldcard lost.
many sources = trezor, bitbox, passport, jade, keystone. one broken source never reaches your key.
and every one of these claims 128 or 256 bits.
coldcard did too. certification doesn't help either, coldcard's chip was fine, the code just stopped calling it.
the only thing that saves you is being able to check.
roll your own dice. verify the words yourself.
