However, some early traces are already visible inside the app, including the new wallet startup flow that quietly previews the upcoming Hardware Wallet integration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id='\ud83d\udd10-hardware-wallet-preparation-starts-now'  id=\"boomdevs_2\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" >\ud83d\udd10 Hardware Wallet Preparation Starts Now<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This update brings new infrastructure related to wallet initialization, encrypted storage, authentication flows, secure device communication, and future wallet-type management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond the app itself, we\u2019re also <strong>preparing the operational<\/strong> side for the next phase, including infrastructure, onboarding systems, logistics, and future distribution planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of this work happens entirely behind the scenes, but it represents one of the largest architectural upgrades ever made inside ECOIN Wallet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Security first.
