Keystone 3 Pro
QR-based airgap hardware wallet by Keystone (formerly Cobo Vault). The product name is "Keystone 3 Pro", not "Keystone Pro 3". As of September 2026 the line is: Keystone 3 Pro (plus co-branded and NFT-customized variants of the same hardware), the Keystone Tablet / Tablet Plus steel seed backups, and ForgeBox, a build-it-yourself developer board.
Hardware
- 4-inch color touchscreen.
- Battery-powered.
- Three secure element chips; seed phrases and fingerprint data live in separate chips.
- PCI-grade anti-tamper: disassembly is detected and wipes the device (self-destruct), so the secure elements are not a user-removable module.
- Fingerprint sensor.
- Camera for QR scanning.
- microSD slot.
Connectivity
- No USB / Bluetooth for signing. QR + microSD only.
- USB only for charging + firmware updates.
