Goldshell Introduces Goldshell Wallet: The Ultimate Air-Gapped Cold Wallet for Secure & Effortless Crypto Self-Custody

February 28, 2025 — Goldshell, a leading innovator in crypto mining hardware and self-custody solutions, today announces the official launch of the Goldshell Wallet, a fully air-gapped, self-custodial cold wallet designed to provide unmatched security, seamless usability, and complete user control.

As a key brand under Intchains Group Limited (Nasdaq: ICG), Goldshell continues to expand its product ecosystem beyond mining hardware, delivering solutions that enhance security, accessibility, and sovereignty for crypto users. The Goldshell Wallet empowers users to securely store, manage, and transact crypto—without ever connecting to the internet, offering protection against both online threats and physical tampering.

Mr Ding Qiang, CEO of ICG, said: “The Goldshell Wallet marks a significant milestone in ICG’s efforts in WEB3 application development and in building our capabilities in navigating across crypto cycles. We had launched Goldshell Pay, a payment gateway platform in Q3 2024. This launch of our Golshell Wallet stands to become a bedrock of crypto for our users, enabling them to safely store their crypto and further empower their crypto efforts with confidence.”

Why We Built Goldshell Wallet

In the crypto world, true security is not just about storing assets—it; it is about ensuring that those assets truly belong to the user. Whether it is an exchange wallet, a hot wallet, or a bank custody account, “you think you own it, but in reality, you do not have full control over it.” These assets remain subject to third-party control and external risks.

A hardware wallet is currently the only true self-custody (Self-Custody) solution, as it completely eliminates all external factors that could compromise asset security. It is the only method that fully separates asset storage from transactions, ensuring that funds remain under the user’s sole control.

We built Goldshell Wallet to free users from reliance on centralized institutions. Regardless of market fluctuations, regulatory changes, or exchange failures, Goldshell Wallet ensures that users’ assets remain secure, fully controlled, and truly owned by them.

Why Goldshell Wallet is Better

A hardware wallet is not just a wallet—it’s a key. It doesn’t store your crypto but securely holds the private key that unlocks access to your assets. While it must connect to a companion app to sign and broadcast transactions, your private key never leaves the device, ensuring complete security.

Goldshell Wallet sets a new standard for crypto security and usability, combining best-in-class protection with a streamlined experience:

1. Fully Air-Gapped: See it, Sign it

• No internet exposure—eliminating hacking risks.
• QR-code transactions in under 30 seconds—scan, sign, and send.
• Offline firmware upgrades—secured via SD card, reducing external influence.

2. Light-Sensitive Self-Destruction: Expose, Erase, Protect

If an attacker attempts to physically open the wallet, Goldshell Wallet’s internal structure is designed to detect light exposure and automatically wipe all stored data, preventing unauthorized access.

• No risk of stolen funds if tampered with.
• True peace of mind against physical threats.

3. Triple-Secure Architecture & Open Source Transparency

Goldshell Wallet offers multiple layers of security, ensuring complete control:

• Independent fingerprint storage—only the owner can access the wallet.
• Two separate recovery seed phrases—store assets across two wallets, ensuring partial protection in extreme situations.
• Open-source firmware—transparent and auditable, providing trust in the security model.

4. Quick & Easy Access: 0.5s Fingerprint Unlock

Unlike traditional wallets requiring manual PIN entry, Goldshell Wallet allows users to access their assets instantly with fingerprint authentication.

• Instant access anytime, anywhere.

5. Security Indicator Light: Always Stay Informed

A built-in security light visually confirms the device’s safety status—offering real-time assurance that the wallet is secure.

6. Built to Last: Tough & Durable Design

Goldshell Wallet is built from a high-strength zinc alloy, making it:

• Resistant to drops up to 1 meter.
• Designed for long-term use in any environment.

7. Supports 1,000+ Coins & Tokens

From Bitcoin and Ethereum to altcoins and stablecoins, Goldshell Wallet ensures compatibility with a wide range of assets.

8. Companion App: Secure Monitoring, Simplified User Experience

The Goldshell Wallet Companion App allows users to monitor account activity in real-time, providing an intuitive and worry-free experience.

• As easy to use as a smartphone—reducing learning time and risk of mistakes.

Security & Recovery: What Happens If Your Wallet is Lost?

Goldshell Wallet ensures the safety and recoverability of your assets in case of loss:

• Light-sensitive tamper detection—immediately erases if the device is tampered with.
• Flexible PIN range (6-24 digits)—providing customizable security based on user preference.
• Factory reset after excessive incorrect PIN attempts—ensuring data protection after multiple failed attempts.

Additionally, by entering the recovery seed phrase, you can restore your wallet to any software or hardware wallet. Unlike software wallets that store seeds online, Goldshell Wallet securely stores your recovery phrase offline, offering more security than software wallets and greater convenience than paper wallets, as it’s harder to lose and allows quicker transfers.

Goldshell Wallet & The Future of Web3

The launch of Goldshell Wallet is a significant milestone in Goldshell’s expansion beyond mining hardware into Web3 financial infrastructure. Following the success of Goldshell Pay, ICG is building a comprehensive ecosystem that enables users to mine, store, and transact crypto assets securely and seamlessly.

“We believe that secure, independent asset storage is a fundamental pillar of the Web3 revolution,” said Ding. “Goldshell Wallet represents the next step in our mission to provide users with a decentralized, secure, and intuitive financial ecosystem.”
