Intchains Group Limited (Nasdaq: ICG), a leading provider of integrated solutions for altcoin mining, has officially launched the GS Wallet under its Goldshell brand. This marks Goldshellโs first entry into the crypto wallet market, with the product now available from 28 February 2025.
The GS Wallet aims to combine advanced security with a premium user experience, designed to help crypto users manage their digital assets safely and conveniently. The wallet features a 3.5-inch colour touchscreen, a fully air-gapped design, and a fast transaction process that can be completed in just 30 seconds. With a battery life of up to 9 hours, it supports more than 1,000 cryptocurrencies, including both coins and tokens.
Alongside these technical features, the GS Wallet is designed to address common security risks associated with online hacks and scams. Its intuitive interface and solid hardware give users a safer way to store and manage their assets, whether they are new to crypto or experienced investors.
Security-focused design offers next-level protection
Security is the GS Walletโs key focus, with multiple features built to safeguard user data and assets. One standout feature is its fully air-gapped design, meaning the wallet can process transactions using QR codes without any connection to the internet. This removes the need for WiFi, Bluetooth, or USB connectivity, significantly reducing the risk of remote hacking.
To further protect against physical tampering, the GS Wallet has a built-in data self-destruct mechanism. If the device detects light exposure โ a sign of potential tampering โ it automatically wipes all data stored inside. This fail-safe ensures that sensitive information is erased before it can be accessed by unauthorised parties.
Despite this security feature, users can still recover their funds easily. The GS Wallet uses two independent recovery seed phrases, stored on separate security chips, alongside a fingerprint recognition system. If the device is lost or damaged, users can restore their accounts using these recovery options through open-source software, ensuring transparency and ease of use.
Another layer of protection comes from its unique three-chip security system. Two chips each hold an independent mnemonic phrase, while the third securely stores fingerprint data. This triple-chip setup sets the GS Wallet apart from many competitors, giving users additional peace of mind when it comes to data protection and asset recovery.
Designed for ease of use and durability
While security is the core priority, Goldshell has also focused on delivering a user-friendly experience. The GS Walletโs fingerprint unlock works in just 0.5 seconds, giving users quick access to their funds without compromising safety.
The walletโs physical build is also designed to withstand daily wear and tear. Encased in a zinc alloy body, the GS Wallet can survive drops from up to 1 metre, providing added durability for users on the move.
To make account management even easier, the wallet comes with a companion mobile app. This app allows users to monitor their account activity in real-time, helping them stay updated on transactions and balances wherever they are.
CEO says GS Wallet is a key step in Goldshellโs crypto journey
Mr Ding Qiang, CEO of Intchains Group Limited, highlighted the importance of this launch for the companyโs long-term vision, โThe GS Wallet marks a significant milestone in ICGโs efforts in WEB3 application development and in building our capabilities in navigating across crypto cycles. We had launched Goldshell Pay, a payment gateway platform in Q3 2024. This launch of our GS Wallet stands to become a bedrock of crypto for our users, enabling them to safely store their crypto and further empower their crypto efforts with confidence.โ
