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.

And when your site dies is the crypto gone?

No, great question. We offer an open source SDK library that can interface with chips today (https://github.com/arx-research/libhalo) and will open source the web app.

Both would allow you to interact with Burner entirely offline as well if you use it for cold storage — libHaLo can easily be used with an off the shelf NFC reader through its CLI interface.
