Cryptocurrency phone apps can be less than convenient. We attempt to make a smaller keychain sized device that can send and receive Bitcoin, and later some other coins.

Mavolas

A cryptocurrency hardware wallet we were prototyping. Goal: something the size of a car remote. The 3d-printed prototype was the size of three cell phones stacked together, which is fine for a prototype.

It talked to our Bitcoin node over a built-in LTE modem. Battery life was over 4 days with the screen off. We used the Particle Electron board, got a decent working prototype, then didn't pursue it further. Crypto adoption was the bottleneck, not the hardware.

The size of the handheld — The handheld.
