Highlights of what was achieved and what the Hardwallet Team learned in Prague during the #Cryptolife Hackathon and Devcon4.
Well… where to start when your head is spinning with enthusiasm and new ideas 🙂? This community really rocks and last week in Prague for #Cryptolife and Devcon was a mind blowing great time for us, and our hardwallet project. The team got tons of interest from developers and other decentralized projects; it’s clear now that this card hits a sweet spot and brings something new to the ecosystem with its two main attributes of being inexpensive and a highly secure hardware plaftorm.

First off, we had quality time within the team to discuss some of the current open points:
We will have a pop-up session on key-management at the @EthMagicians gathering in Prague. Mainly as the developers of the @ethstatus hardware wallets have to leave before the wallet session - but also as the wallet session will be dense in topics anyway. https://t.co/Zfu6pmc2eM

Several projects expressed interest in integrating with our card. Cards are already in the hands of Walleth, MakerDAO, imToken, Metamask, Liquidity networks, Dexlabs and we will have discussions in the coming days with Gnosis Safe team, Grid+, and more.
Kudos to Ligi from Walleth that managed to integrate our card in two days during status' Cryptolife Hackathon with his ETC wallet and for his enthusiasm about the project that spurred a lot of interesting discussions in the community, which expressed a strong need for a standard crypto smartcards API.
We are clearly solving a problem with the work we’ve done; the API is defined, tested, and implemented. It is also currently integrated in several projects (Status, go-eth, walleth for now). We will further document our API, format it the right way (EIP ?), and organize an effort to push it more widely to the ecosystem.
