Discover Keystone, a secure hardware wallet for Solana and other cryptos. Enjoy air-gapped security, QR transactions, and seamless integration with MetaMask.
About Keystone
Keystone is an air-gapped hardware wallet that keeps your Solana keys offline and signs transactions by scanning QR codes. It’s designed for traders and long-term holders who want a simple, verifiable way to approve SOL/SPL token transfers, DeFi actions, and NFT operations from trusted Solana wallets—without plugging the device into a computer or turning on Bluetooth. Keystone connects to Solana wallets that support its QR standard, including Solflare (mobile and browser) and Backpack, so you can review transaction details on the device screen and sign with a tap.
Keystone is open-source at multiple layers (secure element firmware, app layer, and hardware design). That transparency lets advanced users verify how keys are generated and stored and even build firmware from source. For everyday users, it means a wallet built on auditable code and well-documented standards.
Keystone Features
Use these practical features to harden your day-to-day on Solana.
Offline key storage
Private keys are generated and kept on the device; they never touch the internet.
On-device confirmation
Shows addresses and amounts on the screen; requires physical approval to sign.
Cross-chain support
Available across multiple blockchains for seamless cross-network use.
PIN + optional passphrase
Protects access with a device PIN and an extra passphrase for added security.
What makes Keystone special?
Keystone removes the trade-off between safety and speed. You get the convenience of scanning a QR and the confidence of offline keys. The interoperability is a real advantage: you aren’t locked into one app or a proprietary signing flow. If your Solana wallet implements Keystone’s QR protocol, you connect and go.
The on-device preview is another differentiator. Keystone turns opaque, contract-heavy transactions into readable prompts, so you can verify exactly what you’re approving. Combined with its open-source approach and SD-card firmware updates, Keystone gives security-minded traders a setup that’s both hard to compromise and easy to live with.
