A $5 wrench isn’t the only physical attack you should be thinking about.

There’s a quieter, more dangerous scenario: Someone gains access to your hardware wallet, opens it, extracts sensitive data, then puts it back exactly as it was.

The next time you use it, everything appears normal. But your keys may already be compromised.

Most hardware wallets address this risk with tamper-evident mechanisms, typically stickers or seals that rely on the user noticing a change.

If that signal is missed or misunderstood, the device may continue to be used in a compromised state.

Passport Prime takes a different approach.

It includes active tamper detection that continuously monitors whether the device has been physically opened or modified, or even tried to be.

If tampering is detected, the device automatically erases all sensitive data, including your Master Key.

This process happens immediately. There are no warnings, no prompts, and no way to override it.

The assumption is simple: If the physical integrity of the device is compromised, your keys should no longer exist on it.

Security shouldn’t depend on whether someone notices a broken seal.

Introducing Prime Time, a free live workshop series for Passport Prime
We're launching a 6-week live workshop series called Prime Time, dedicated entirely to helping people get the most out of Passport Prime.

Each session runs for 60 minutes, once a week, hosted live in our Roam virtual auditorium, in an office-hours format. We'll walk attendees through everything from initial unboxing and setup to advanced features like Bitcoin security, 2FA, and security key management, seed and password storage, and encrypted file protection.

Passport Prime is the world's first personal security device; it replaces multiple devices and apps with one offline tool. That's powerful, but it also means there's a lot to learn. Prime Time exists to make that easy.

Whether someone is brand new to hardware security or has been self-custodying Bitcoin for years, there's something here for them.

It's completely free. 😄
