The popular cryptocurrency software provider Blockchain has recently announced the launch of a custom hardware wallet Lockbox to help Blockchain users for managing their funds online and offline with ease. Blockchain’s Lockbox is now available for pre-order at a price of $99. Lockbox is exclusively tethered to Blockchain’s flagship wallet.

The Lockbox resembles the size of the Nano with a dimension of 98mm x 18mm x 9mm but is blue with a Blockchain logo. The custom firmware is easy to read by Windows (7+), Mac (10.9+), Linux or Chrome operating systems. However, one needs to use either Google Chrome or Chromium, just like the Ledger Nano. T

It can give a tough competition to its competitors like Trezor and Keepkey. It also ensures the cryptographic protection through its dual-chip architecture. Through a secret pin, the private keys can also be protected well against the unwanted invaders, says the website.

The Lockbox comes with a USB cord, mnemonic phrase card, and instructions. Users can also access the Lockbox support web page to learn about the setup process which takes only a few steps to connect an existing Blockchain wallet to the Lockbox device, claims the firm.

As per Peter Smith, CEO, and co-founder of Blockchain, the Lockbox has the potential to offer more functionality than the previous ones. Adding further he said, “We’re thrilled to offer the Lockbox to Blockchain users so they can easily manage their funds online and offline seamlessly.”
