I’m curious to get opinions from this community on the Arculus cold storage card.

https://www.getarculus.com

As someone who has been working on banking debit and credit cards for my recent career, I love the concept of using the secure chip in a metal card, but would love to get everyone’s feedback.

The card though isn’t really storing in that product, is it? Seems like they are using the card as an authentication mechanism to go alongside (what I’m assuming is) username and device IDs to verify to what the app stores.

First thought I had with this was whether the app stores values or if it’s a “viewer” to that storage

Have had thoughts of seeing if it’s possible to provision one’s own flash memory (secure) chip + NFC as cold storage with a device as its reader. Kinda saw this as possible years back with NFC ring that someone did to clone their passport

I guess I’m not clear on whether the keys are technically stored in the App or on the Card. But either way it seems like a nice form factor and secure cold storage. 💪

Yea. Can’t tell. But the way they describe it, doesn’t seem so
