What happens to your hardware wallet when the company dies?

Firmware updates stop. Security patches stop. Your device becomes a paperweight with your keys inside.

Coldcard is not dying. But the pattern is real - wallets get abandoned, bought out, or just stop being maintained.

Open source protects you from that. If the company disappears, the community keeps the code alive. You are never locked in.

Blockstream Jade is open source. It survives its maker.

Your keys should outlive every company on your setup.

Hww should not touch internet connected devices so updates aren't that important. What matters most is that you truly validate addresses anf change on the device anf in your software wallet before broadcasting.
