TREE NEWS update: OneKey founder Yishi said recent asset losses among Ledger users have raised community concern over hardware wallet security, arguing the risk may lie not in the secure chip itself but in the ‘last centimeter’ between the protected chip and the display users trust. As of October 10, OneKey had received no reports of user fund losses tied to the incident. OneKey plans improvements in packaging, mnemonic display paths, motherboard communication, dealer authorization and user verification.
OneKey Founder Says Hardware Wallet Security Hinges on the ‘Last Centimeter’
The claim shifts the security debate from chip certification to the human-facing layer — packaging, mnemonic display and verification paths — which is where supply-chain and interface attacks actually land. That reframing matters for every hardware wallet maker, since it implies trust is only as strong as the handoff between secure element and screen, not the silicon itself. The open question is whether this becomes an industry-wide audit standard or stays a differentiator OneKey uses against rivals.
