Blanq

Blanq offers a distributed-key hardware crypto wallet designed for enhanced security and ease of use. It eliminates traditional seed phrases and passwords by splitting the user's key into shares, stored on the hardware, which prevents single points of failure and simplifies recovery. The system is self-custodial and compatible with any blockchain or dApp.
Distributed

Description

Blanq, operated by Blanq Labs BV, has developed an innovative self-custody hardware crypto wallet that utilizes a distributed-key architecture to enhance security and user experience. The system consists of a microprocessor-based smartcard (Blanq card), a mobile application (Blanq app), and a server-side application. The user's cryptographic key is divided into shares within the hardware, distributed with strong authentication, and never leaves the cryptographic processor, disappearing after a transaction is signed. This design eliminates single points of failure and simplifies recovery, as a certain threshold of shares can reconstruct the key. The Blanq wallet is 100% self-custodial, supports multi-factor security, and is compatible with any blockchain and decentralized application. The product is currently shipping to Europe, the US, and Canada.
