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.

This is a really cool execution of an idea that's been floating out there a while. Next you just need a bitcoin one in the shape of a coin!

Coins get you into more trouble than cards :)
