Update 1913 Sep 2026
A hardware wallet with no secure element
The clear case makes the argument physical: transparency is security, robust by design, simple over fancy.
Read the update →The PHYLAX hardware wallet is open source and Bitcoin-only, and it returns full sovereignty to its owner. No custodian. No cloud. No walled garden. Just you, the device, and twenty-four words you write down once.

Mt. Gox. QuadrigaCX. Celsius. FTX. Six billion dollars in customer funds vanished into bankruptcies and indictments in 2022 alone. The pattern repeats because the architecture invites it: someone else holds your keys, you hold an IOU.
We did not build PHYLAX to compete with banks. We built it because we believe the only key holder should be you — and the world has spent two thousand years forgetting that owning the key to your front door is the same thing as owning the door.
A core team of three, building in the open. The community shapes the roadmap. Maintainers ship the code. Nobody waits for a VC to give permission.
