What Keystone publishes about the 3 Pro

Keystone's product page lists the 3 Pro at $149 and describes it as the only cold wallet with three independent security chips. Transfers happen over QR codes and microSD cards, so the device never has to be connected to a computer or a phone to sign a transaction.

Why the open-source claim matters here

Most vendors in this category open their firmware. Keystone states that all of its code, hardware and software alike, is open source. That is the broadest inspection surface published by any device in this comparison, and it is the reason the device scores full marks on that criterion.

Where it gives ground

An air-gapped, battery-powered device with a large screen is bulkier than a USB signer and needs charging. Neither is a security weakness, but both are practical trade-offs worth knowing before buying.
