Getting to know the ELLIPAL hardware wallet
ELLIPAL is a new generation of cryptocurrency hardware wallets. It aims to be the safest and most convenient hardware wallet in the world, offering a one-stop, secure hardware wallet solution for mobile phone users.
By using QR code technology, ELLIPAL has developed a system that allows private keys and blockchain information to be efficiently transferred without any connection. This not only increases convenience and portability but also elevates the security of the hardware wallet to a new level. Without any connection, ELLIPAL is completely isolated from all networks and devices, making it impossible to hack or steal information.
The ELLIPAL app offers all the features users need. Users can send transactions, receive coins, exchange coins, search market prices, read news, and connect with other DApps.
