Why the Ethereum Foundation Is Launching a Signing App on Passport Prime
In this news:
Key takeaways
- The Ethereum Foundation is launching a Universal Ethereum Signer app built by Nicolas Bacca.
- The app runs on Foundation's KeyOS operating system and Passport Prime device.
- KeyOS isolates apps using hardened child keys rather than exposing the master seed.
In this episode of Unchained Premium, Zach Herbert, co-founder and CEO of Foundation, joined Laura to talk about the Ethereum Foundation’s new Universal Ethereum Signer app, built by Ledger co-founder Nicolas Bacca, which runs on Foundation’s KeyOS operating system and Passport Prime device.
The conversation covers why Herbert calls Foundation’s signing devices “human authority hardware,” how KeyOS gives each app a hardened child key instead of the master seed, and why a 9,000-line microkernel is easier to audit than the Linux kernel’s 40 million lines. Herbert also walks through Magic Backups, which split a seed into three Shamir shares across two NFC cards and a phone, and why Foundation manufactures in an ITAR-certified US facility.
With more people suggesting a dedicated iPhone instead of a hardware wallet, why does Herbert think a $349 device is worth it? Listen to find out!
