ELLIPAL's Answer to Supply Chain Attacks, built layer by layer since 2018:
- Hard to open, built to show it
- Designed to wipe data if forced open
- Seed phrase made offline in the secure chip
Our team ran onsite tests, here is what happened:

Holding your own keys should stay a private choice.
A register of who holds what cuts against the reason people choose self-custody.
Under consideration in France right now:
• Crypto-to-stablecoin swaps become taxable
• €800k+ portfolio exit tax if you try to leave
• Mandatory reporting on self-custody wallets over €100k
A centralized government registry of who holds what, right after tax office data leaks and while streets are in full unrest. What could possibly go wrong with home invasions?
This weekend, many asked if a phone can replace a hardware wallet.
Our view: let the phone run the app, and keep your keys on a separate device.
On ELLIPAL Titan 2.0, you check each transaction on the device's own screen, and it signs offline.

Thanks for every question in the replies.
Some ask if cold storage still makes sense after the latest supply chain attack.
Our view: it does.
The attack reportedly needed a wallet opened before it reached its owner. That's why checks at unboxing matter as much as the hardware.
A plan like this targets one step: moving coins off a platform into a wallet you control.
That step is where self-custody starts. Before you move funds, check the rules where you live.
🚨BREAKING: Russia reportedly PLANS to BAN retail crypto transfers to self-custody wallets and direct P2P trading from July 1, 2027, the Moscow Times reports.
Crypto trading would require central bank-approved intermediaries and mandatory investor knowledge qualification tests.
Unqualified investors would also face an annual purchase limit of 300,000 rubles ($3,690) per intermediary.
New hardware wallet in the mail? Check three things before setup:
- It isn't already set up, and no seed phrase came in the box
- The case shows no signs of being opened
- You create the seed phrase yourself during setup
If anything looks off, stop and contact the maker.
Some say the latest supply chain attack proves cold wallets can't be trusted. We disagree.
It reportedly needed a wallet opened before it reached its owner. Opening should leave a trace.
ELLIPAL Titan 2.0 is designed so forcing it open leaves visible damage and wipes its data.
September's crypto hacks cost $766.49M, per PeckShield.
How much of it could reach coins you hold yourself?
Most hit an exchange's wallet system and a sidechain peg. Self-custody keeps your coins out of the first, not the second.

Tighter rules raise the bar for exchanges, and that helps everyone.
September's largest loss still started inside an exchange's wallet system.
Coins you hold in your own wallet sit outside systems like that.
