Online to prepare.
Offline to sign.
A deliberate break between the internet and your private key. One computer. A bootable USB. Your approval.

Your key stays on the offline side.

01 / THE MECHANISM
A small file crosses.
Your private key doesn’t.
There is a real reboot between preparation and approval. Each side has a specific job.
WINDOWS / ONLINE
Prepare
Set the recipient and amount. Save the unsigned request to USB.
unsigned-request.jsonUSB LINUX / OFFLINE
Review & sign
Boot from USB. Verify every detail, unlock locally, then shut down.
signed-response.jsonWINDOWS / ONLINE
Verify & submit
Import the response. Check it against the original request and explicitly send.
transaction receipt02 / CAPABILITIES
Fewer moving parts.
More deliberate control.
[02]
One request. Exact details.
Recipient, amount, network and fee ceiling travel together. Review the same transaction again on the offline screen.
> request.freeze → review locally[03]
Check the signature. Then send.
Back online, the dashboard verifies the response against your saved request. Sending needs its own confirmation.
> signature.verify → explicit submit[04]
Files, not a closed ecosystem.
Use a compatible USB and keep a separate encrypted backup. Export public metadata without exposing the private key.
> public.export → backup.verify03 / SECURITY MODEL
Know what
you’re trusting.
Separation is a workflow, not a guarantee. Here are the protections—and their boundaries.
Private key excluded from web requests
Full transaction review before approval
Signed response matched to frozen request
Current nonce, balance and fee preflight
No automatic retry after an uncertain send
What does offline boot protect?
It separates signing from the running Windows session. Use a trusted PC and disconnect networking before boot.
What does a USB not protect?
A normal USB has no secure element and its files can be copied or modified. DriveKey does not guarantee clean firmware or boot media. A VM is for functional tests, not isolation from a compromised host.
What happens if I lose the USB?
Recovery needs a separate encrypted backup and its passphrase. Test that backup offline. Reconnecting cannot recover a lost passphrase. Never reflash the only copy of a vault.
What does a signed file authorize?
Anyone holding it can broadcast that exact transaction. The application’s deadline does not revoke a signature on-chain. Check uncertain results before preparing another payment.
04 / DESKTOP R20
Your offline desktop.
A clearer view.
The DriveKey logo and character background, with dedicated spaces for vaults, transaction review and system controls. Actual screenshots from an unfunded VM demonstration.
Husher standard ETH → USDC exchange is available with owner access and RC19 offline approval. Privacy remains unavailable.
05 / GET SET UP
Bring a USB.
Keep your keys.
Already created your vault? Go straight to Offline transfer and load its public file.
01 / Offline system
The bootable image bundles Linux, the graphical offline wallet, and its dependencies. No signing-time downloads.
Research builds are for unfunded testing only. Release authentication, hardware validation and independent review remain pending.
View release statusWriting the image erases the selected drive. Never overwrite your only vault.
02 / Follow the walkthrough
Create and verify your vault offline. Keep a separate encrypted backup before using real funds.

06 / HOLDER BENEFITS PROPOSED · NOT LIVE
More ways to participate.
More reasons to stay.
We’re planning benefit tiers based on the percentage of token supply you hold, with additional loyalty perks for maintaining eligibility over time.
Support & access
- Priority customer support.
- Personal onboarding and guided setup—without sharing your private keys.
- Early access to OS builds, features and integrations.
- Holder workshops, live demos, developer Q&As and security sessions.
Swap fees & loyalty
- 0% DriveKey platform fees on swaps at qualifying tiers.
- Additional loyalty perks for maintaining eligibility over time.
- Input on which chains, integrations and features we prioritize.
Hardware & founder editions
- Discounts on DriveKey USBs, accessories and replacement devices.
- A free DriveKey USB at qualifying tiers once hardware launches.
- Limited founder editions, custom engraving and numbered devices.
- Hardware bundles with guided setup assistance.
Portfolio & business tools
- Advanced portfolios, watchlists and custom dashboards.
- Transaction exports and payment reports.
- Invoice requests, address books and separate personal/business profiles.
Core security belongs to everyone. Core wallet security and essential recovery features will remain available to everyone, regardless of token holdings.
These are proposed benefits. Tier thresholds, holding requirements, hardware availability and redemption limits will be published before launch. No tiers or redemptions are active yet.
0% refers only to DriveKey platform fees. Network gas, liquidity-provider, bridge and other third-party charges may still apply.
