2 comments mishaSubmitter The Burner hardware wallet is a simple, low-cost device aimed at making it easy to gift stablecoins, although you can also use it as a fully-fledged wallet. It works through NFC tech and connects directly to your smartphone’s browser without an app. The Burner has no complicated setup, as it removes the need for managing seed phrases, and comes with a native stablecoin, USD II, backed by dollars and with gas fees subsidized. Didn’t know this one on the list. Sounds quite fun. Indeed great to onboard your whole family this year! Sadly it doesn’t take $kiwimas. (yet)  Indeed, the most interesting ones are the cheapest and the most expensive. In the middle there wasn't much development it seems. They look nicer than my old, tiny Ledger, but I think, I prefer the small, unobstrusive devices. |
