Challenges
The Crypto Custody Void: Confronting the Single Point of Failure
The market lacked a truly decentralised, next-generation cold storage architecture that eliminated the catastrophic single point of failure inherent in all existing hardware wallets. The reliance on fragile, single-location seed phrases created unacceptable anxiety and risk (loss, theft, inheritance failure) for users holding significant digital wealth.
Solutions
Industrial Design & Usability
The design studio combined a robust, joystick-navigated X1 Vault with NFC-based X1 Cards, offering both the security of decentralised storage and a reliable user experience. This architecture supports seamless portfolio management via the CySync app while ensuring that all critical actions remain air-gapped and secured by tangible hardware components.
