UKey Previews Core 26 Hardware Wallet and Seed Series Backup Lineup

UKey is preparing to launch a coordinated product lineup that pairs device-side transaction confirmation with physical seed phrase recovery options, aimed at everyday self-custody users.

HONG KONG, July 31, 2026 — UKey today previewed the upcoming launch of the UKey Core 26 hardware wallet alongside the UKey Seed Series, which includes three physical seed phrase backup formats. The company stated that launch timing and initial market availability will be announced through its official channels.

UKey Core 26 Hardware Wallet

The UKey Core 26 is a touchscreen hardware wallet designed for device-side transaction confirmation. Its multi-chip security architecture incorporates EAL6+ secure elements — a hardware certification standard recognized in the secure semiconductor industry for high-assurance tamper resistance — along with proprietary security chips. Private-key operations remain confined within the device during the signing process.

Users can review key transaction details before approving any operation. Connectivity options include Bluetooth, a QR-based Air-Gap mode, and USB. Near Field Communication (NFC) is also supported and powers a dedicated seed phrase backup workflow.

Core 26 is built for mainstream blockchain networks and multi-chain assets, with the company noting that coverage will continue to expand.

UKey Seed Series Backup Lineup

Scheduled for release alongside the Core 26, the UKey Seed Series comprises three products:

  • UKey Seed Card — an NFC-based card format for seed phrase storage.
  • UKey Seed Ring — a wearable format for seed phrase backup.
  • UKey Seed Ti — a TC4 titanium backup plate engineered for long-term durable storage.

Together, the lineup offers users multiple physical recovery options, ranging from everyday-capable formats to resilient offline storage designed to withstand environmental damage.

Design Philosophy

"Self-custody works best when transaction approval and recovery planning are designed together," said a UKey spokesperson. "Core 26 and the Seed Series are designed as a coordinated lineup, giving users complementary tools for daily signing and long-term recovery."
