Hi HN! I’m one of the creators of Burner, a low cost Ethereum hardware wallet designed for gifting. After creating various forms of crypto “cash” (https://kong.cash/, https://offline.cash/) we learned that gifting cryptocurrencies was consistently one of the biggest challenges for holders and enthusiasts.

Burner looks and feels like a colorful gift card, but under the hood it incorporates a secure element chip. You can access its wallet with just an NFC tap, and it works entirely through our (soon to be) open source web app.

There is a lot more to share, like USD II (created by https://www.bridge.xyz/), a stablecoin that we designed to work with Burner without gas, but for now we’re excited to push Burner out the door and start getting feedback from users.

Looks interesting, would suggest going with Solana over Ethereum though, especially in 2024.

Not opposed to doing a Solana variant!

Solana is heavily centralized and doesn't offer any scalability advantage over the new breed of onchain Ethereum rollups like Base.

Ethereum is more widely adopted and vastly more robust/decentralized.
