balnsCard

balnsCard is a second-generation hardware wallet for mobile use which is engineered around three core principles:

  • Usability
  • Affordability
  • Security

It provides the convenience of a mobile app paired with near-field communication (NFC) contactless technology, ensures the secure storage of your digital assets, and will be the most affordable hardware wallet in the market.

Along with its companion mobile app, balnsCard has been designed for quick and easy transacting, offering multi-coin support. This initially includes BTC, ETH & ERC-20 tokens, LTC, and DOGE, with more coins to be added in due course.

The mobile app also allows users to buy coins for fiat using a credit/debit card. Users can also trade between different coin pairs without leaving the wallet.
