Digital Shield unveiled its new Cold Wallet at TOKEN2049 Dubai, offering military-grade security, full offline storage, and open-source transparency to protect digital assets in the Web3 era.
As Web3 adoption expands across global markets, the importance of secure digital asset storage continues to grow. Despite increasing innovation, the industry remains challenged by frequent security breaches and asset losses, which threaten broader trust in decentralized technologies.
At the TOKEN2049 conference in Dubai – one of the major international crypto gatherings – Hong Kong-based Digital Shield introduced its newly developed Digital Shield Cold Wallet, aimed at offering stronger security solutions for everyday users.
Tackling Security Risks in a Decentralized Economy
During her keynote address at TOKEN2049, Marina Andreeva, Head of Overseas Operations at Digital Shield, highlighted a concerning trend: over $3.8 billion in digital assets were stolen globally in the first half of 2025 alone, with 85% of those losses impacting retail users rather than institutions.
As decentralization becomes more widespread, the risks tied to private key management and asset custody also grow. Digital Shield’s new cold wallet is designed to give users direct, offline control of their digital assets, reducing exposure to threats common in hot wallets and centralized exchanges.
Features of the Digital Shield Cold Wallet
The Digital Shield Cold Wallet incorporates several key elements intended to enhance user security and operational independence:
Security Hardware: Built with a CC EAL6+ certified secure chip, offering strong resistance to physical attacks and side-channel exploits.
Offline Transaction Management: All sensitive operations, including key generation and transaction signing, are handled completely offline, with QR codes used for transaction approval to minimize external exposure.
Open-Source Transparency: The device’s software is fully open-sourced, enabling third-party audits and reinforcing trust through community verification.
Wide Ecosystem Integration: Compatible with popular wallets like MetaMask, imToken, and TokenPocket, and supporting over 3,000 tokens across multiple blockchains.
Self-Custody and Recovery Options: Utilizing the BIP39 recovery standard, users can recover assets even if the physical device is lost or damaged, ensuring continuity without reliance on any single vendor.
Engineering Expertise Rooted in Financial Security
Digital Shield’s development team traces its origins to Feitian Technologies, a firm with more than 15 years of experience providing security products for banks, payment systems, and crypto wallet manufacturers. This background adds technical depth to the company’s approach to cold storage solutions.
Launch Momentum and Expansion Plans
At TOKEN2049, the Digital Shield booth attracted considerable interest from blockchain developers, investors, and security specialists. The company views this initial response as confirmation of market demand for stronger, user-controlled asset protection tools.
Following the launch, Digital Shield aims to expand its presence into new markets while enhancing wallet capabilities to meet the evolving needs of decentralized finance (DeFi), NFTs, and broader Web3 applications.
Conclusion
The introduction of the Digital Shield Cold Wallet marks an important step in strengthening digital asset self-custody options. As Web3 technologies continue to develop, the focus on user-first security frameworks is likely to become even more central to the industry’s sustainable growth.
