U
Written by UKey Wallet

When using a hardware wallet, it is crucial to ensure the security of firmware and software updates.

Code Audit: Our code is audited by professional security teams (such as SlowMist, OffsideLabs) to ensure there are no backdoors.

Transparent build process: UKey’s hardware firmware and software code are fully open source and available on GitHub, where you can review the specific details of each update.

Verification during upgrade: During a hardware wallet firmware upgrade, UKey Wallet performs digital signature verification on the new version to ensure the source and integrity of the upgrade.

Private key security: The security chip (or "Secure Element") in the UKey hardware wallet is always offline during use.
