Foundation

Foundation offers Passport Prime, an open‑source hardware device that consolidates Bitcoin private keys, 2FA codes, FIDO2 security keys, seed phrases, and up to 50 GB of encrypted file storage into a single, air‑gapped platform. Running the Rust‑based KeyOS microkernel and using QuantumLink for quantum‑resistant Bluetooth, it provides enterprise‑grade security features such as tamper protection, secure element storage, and Shamir‑based backup while supporting third‑party crypto apps.

Problem

Individuals and organizations must protect a growing set of digital assets—including Bitcoin private keys, two‑factor authentication (2FA) codes, FIDO2 security keys, encrypted files, and seed phrases—while using multiple devices and services. Existing solutions are fragmented, require separate hardware or software, and often involve closed‑source firmware that limits auditability and user control.

Solution

Passport Prime is a single, open‑source hardware platform that consolidates the storage and management of Bitcoin, 2FA codes, security keys, additional seeds, and encrypted files. The device runs KeyOS, a Rust‑based microkernel operating system that enforces app sandboxing and secure message passing, allowing third‑party cryptocurrency and security apps to be installed without exposing the master private key. Communication with the companion Envoy mobile app uses QuantumLink, an end‑to‑end encrypted, quantum‑resistant Bluetooth protocol that isolates data even if the Bluetooth chip is compromised. Hardware security is provided by a dedicated security processor, a 608c secure element, active tamper protection, and automatic erasure after ten failed PIN attempts. Users can back up the master key using NFC KeyCards in a 2‑of‑3 Shamir secret sharing scheme, with optional cloud‑backed shares via the Envoy+ subscription.

Target Audience

Primary customers are security‑conscious Bitcoin holders, developers of cryptocurrency applications, and users who need unified, air‑gapped management of digital credentials and encrypted data.
