Hardware Wallet Weight Check After Scandal

Following the scandal involving spy implants found in hardware wallets, users have started weighing their devices.

Crypto wallet owners are seeking methods to inspect devices without opening the casing.

Weight of popular models

• Nano X — 34 g

• Nano S Plus — 21 g

• Flex — 58 g

• Stax — 44 g

• Nano Gen5 — 46 g

• Safe 7 — 45 g

• Safe 5 — 23 g

• Safe 3 — 14 g

• BitBox02 — 12 g

• OneKey Pro — 65 g

• Keystone 3 Pro — 103 g

• SafePal S1 Pro — 126 g

Even if a device's weight matches factory specifications, it does not guarantee the absence of an implant. Attackers can compensate for its mass by altering or replacing other components.
