Why OneKey? Because real security beats marketing every time

Let’s start with facts, not marketing poetry.

Becoming an official reseller of any Bitcoin hardware wallet is easy.

Becoming an official reseller of a wallet brand we actually respect is… significantly harder. Most devices on the market either drown in hype, hide behind closed firmware, or treat users like they’re one wrong tap away from self-destruction. We wanted a partner whose entire philosophy matches ours: transparency, sovereignty and real engineering, not glossy slogans.

That’s why we teamed up with OneKey

And yes, to mark the moment properly, we launched our OneKey × Cypher Ladybird capsule collection - minimalist Bitcoin culture, without cringe and without compromises.

But before the merch and the aesthetics, let’s get into what matters: why OneKey stands out in a world full of half-baked “secure” solutions.

OneKey has been on the market since 2019 and is now present in more than one hundred countries. They’ve grown from Hong Kong’s Cyberport innovation ecosystem into one of the fastest-scaling wallet manufacturers globally. Their Series B valuation reached $ 150 million, the largest investment ever made in this industry segment.

This wasn’t luck.

It was the result of a radical commitment to open source architecture and a refusal to take shortcuts. Every piece of hardware, firmware and software they ship is publicly auditable. There is no hidden logic, no proprietary black-box behaviour and no trust-me-bro engineering.

And this is the detail most people skip over: OneKey has never suffered a security incident caused by a hardware compromise. Not once. In an industry with more marketing than mathematics, that track record actually means something.

Their security model relies on a combination of EAL 6+ secure elements, offline signing, anti-tamper protections, self-wipe mechanisms and a fully open-source firmware stack. It’s the kind of balance between usability and uncompromising defence that finally makes sense for normal people, not only for cypherpunks who enjoy wrestling with terminal prompts.

This is also why we decided to stock a focused selection in the shop. The OneKey Pro sits at the top for those who want modern design and military-grade protection in one device. The Classic 1S delivers reliability for everyday users, while the Classic Pure keeps things minimal for those who want function without extras. The OneKey Lite offers a simple, elegant offline backup option without forcing anyone into unnecessary complexity. Sovereignty shouldn’t require a survival manual.



Still, it would be dishonest not to acknowledge the alternatives.

Blockstream Jade is a solid, Bitcoin-focused wallet with excellent software integrations. It’s a great entry-level option, though the lack of a fully isolated secure element is a recurring point of debate among experts.

SeedSigner sits on the other extreme: a DIY, stateless, camera-based device built for an absolute minimal attack surface. Brilliant for paranoia-pros, but unrealistic for most users.

Trezor has a long history and broad integration support. Still, its no-secure-element approach and past phishing/firmware incidents make it less appealing for people handling large amounts of Bitcoin.

Coinkite’s Coldcard and SAFE line offer unmatched Bitcoin-only hardness and multisig functionality, but the user experience can feel like willingly choosing suffering as a hobby.

OneKey lands in the middle of all this in the best possible way: strong enough for security-obsessed users, clear enough for newcomers, open enough for developers and transparent enough for anyone tired of being told to “just trust the vendor.”

The goal here isn’t to convince you to buy a wallet. The goal is to make it painfully obvious that self-custody is no longer optional. If your Bitcoin sits on a centralised exchange, you don’t own it. If your wallet runs on a closed system, you’re trusting a brand instead of mathematics. OneKey gives you the one thing that truly matters: actual control.

That’s why we became official resellers.
That’s why we built the collab.
And that’s why every product we ever bring into the shop will follow the same rule: if we wouldn’t use it ourselves, you’ll never see it on our shelves.
