Vitalik Buterin called for making hardware wallets fully verifiable.
At the opening of Devcon 8 in Mumbai, the founder of Ethereum said that device security should not be built only on trust in manufacturers.
According to Butrin, users should be able to ensure that their devices are not being tracked, and that the hardware wallets do not contain hidden components, such as SIM cards, that can transmit private keys.
This requires open source and the ability to verify the chips themselves, not just the software.
Buterin also emphasized the role of evidence without knowledge (ZK), which allows confirming the reliability of information without revealing personal data.
Vitalik, as usual, wears outerwear.
