About Foundation Passport
Foundation Passport is a Bitcoin-only hardware wallet manufactured by Foundation Devices, a US company founded in 2020. It is one of the few hardware wallets with both fully open-source hardware and firmware, independently audited by multiple security firms.
Security Architecture
- Fully open-source: Hardware schematics, firmware, and the companion Envoy mobile app are all published under open-source licences on GitHub. Independent researchers have audited the codebase.
- Secure element: Uses an ATECC608B secure element for PIN verification and key protection. The chip is paired with a Nordic nRF52 microcontroller for application logic.
- Air-gapped by default: All transaction signing is done via QR code or microSD, with no USB data connection. The USB port is power-only — a hardware design decision that eliminates an entire class of USB attack surface.
- Open supply chain: Foundation publishes the full bill of materials and sources components from well-known suppliers, reducing supply chain risk relative to proprietary designs.
Limitations
- Bitcoin-only: does not support Ethereum or altcoins.
- Higher price point than some alternatives.
- Requires the Envoy companion app (iOS/Android) or a compatible desktop wallet.
