Manufacturing Timeline
Secure Element Procurement
Certified EAL6+ secure element chips sourced directly from manufacturer (NXP or Infineon). Chain of custody documentation and anti-counterfeit verification.
PCB Assembly & Testing
Circuit board assembly at ISO 9001 certified facility. Automated optical inspection (AOI) and functional testing at 100% rate.
Firmware Installation
Open-source firmware flashed in secure environment. Cryptographic signature verification ensures no tampering between build and installation.
Quality Control
Each device undergoes manual inspection and functional testing. Random sample units tested for 72-hour stress testing protocol.
Packaging & Serialization
Tamper-evident holographic seals applied. Unique serial numbers recorded in blockchain-based tracking system for supply chain verification.
Supply Chain Security Commitments
Direct Manufacturer Relationships: No third-party distributors for secure element chips. We purchase directly from NXP or Infineon with full chain of custody documentation.
Factory Audits: Manufacturing partner selected after in-person facility inspection by Vaultix security team. ISO 9001 and ISO/IEC 27001 certifications required.
Tamper Detection: Every Vaultix Wallet ships with holographic tamper-evident seals. Packaging includes QR code linking to blockchain verification system-customers can verify their unit was never opened after factory sealing.
Serial Number Tracking: Each device serial number recorded at manufacturing and linked to blockchain ledger. Check your device authenticity at vaultix.com/verify.
Open Firmware Builds: Firmware builds are reproducible-anyone can compile source code and verify cryptographic hash matches firmware installed on device. No trust required.
⚠️ Counterfeit Prevention
Never purchase Vaultix Wallet from unauthorized resellers or secondary markets. Only devices purchased directly from vaultix.com or verified authorized partners are guaranteed authentic.
Before first use, verify your device serial number at vaultix.com/verify and check tamper-evident seals are intact. Contact support immediately if seals are broken or serial number doesn't match blockchain records.

Firmware Development Milestones
Open-source firmware with community contributions. Transparent development roadmap post-launch.
v1.0 - Launch Firmware (Q3 2026)
Initial release with Bitcoin, Ethereum, and top 20 altcoin support. Offline transaction signing, encrypted backup system, and basic recovery workflows. Open-source repository public from day one.
v1.1 - Beta Feedback (Q4 2026)
Improvements based on beta tester and early customer feedback. UI/UX refinements, additional multi-chain support, and performance optimizations. First community contributions merged.
v1.2 - Security Enhancements (Q4 2026)

v2.0 - Advanced Features (2027)
Major feature update: multi-signature support, advanced coin control, desktop/mobile app integrations, and DeFi protocol signing. Community-requested features prioritized.
Open-Source Commitment
Vaultix firmware source code will be published on GitHub under GPLv3 license at launch. Full build instructions, cryptographic verification guide, and contribution guidelines included.
Repository Launch: July 2026 (coinciding with first shipments). Anyone can audit code, verify firmware authenticity, and submit improvements via pull requests.
Community Contributions: We actively welcome security researchers, cryptography experts, and blockchain developers to contribute. Top contributors recognized with bug bounties and name credits in release notes.
Third-Party Security Audits: 2027
Independent cryptography and hardware security audits from recognized firms. Public reports guarantee transparency.
Firmware Security Audit
Comprehensive security audit of Vaultix firmware by Trail of Bits or equivalent recognized cryptography auditing firm. Scope includes cryptographic implementation review, secure boot verification, random number generation analysis, and side-channel attack resistance testing.
Deliverable: Public audit report with findings, remediation timeline, and re-audit confirmation.
Hardware Security Evaluation
Physical hardware security evaluation including secure element integration review, supply chain security assessment, tamper resistance testing, and electromagnetic analysis. Conducted by independent hardware security lab.
Deliverable: Hardware security white paper and recommendations for production improvements.
Common Criteria Certification
Formal Common Criteria EAL5+ certification process for secure element and device architecture. Recognized international security standard required for institutional and government adoption.
Deliverable: EAL5+ certification (or documentation of progress toward certification).
Penetration Testing
Real-world penetration testing by ethical hacking team. Attack scenarios include physical device tampering, social engineering, supply chain compromise attempts, and firmware exploitation attempts.
Deliverable: Penetration testing report with exploitation attempts documented and remediation status.
Public Audit Commitment
All third-party security audit reports will be published in full on vaultix.com/security within 30 days of completion (excluding any critical vulnerabilities still in remediation). We believe transparency builds trust-security through obscurity is not our model.
