UKey said on November 3, 2026 that its UKey Core 26 firmware passed an independent audit by CertiK with every finding remediated, and that the device is now tracked by CertiK Skynet's Active Monitor. The announcement was published by [GlobeNewswire](https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2026/11/03/3393938/0/en/ukey-s-latest-firmware-passes-certik-security-audit-with-all-findings-remediated.html).

## Inside the UKey Core 26 Audit

[UKey](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/02ljjfi/ukey) is a Hong Kong-based hardware wallet company founded in 2023 that sells self-custody devices and seed phrase backup products. The company said CertiK reviewed the firmware codebase and produced findings and recommendations, which UKey's engineering team addressed in code before the fixes were closed out through CertiK's review process. The engagement ended with no open findings.

UKey said firmware is the trust boundary for a hardware wallet because it generates keys, approves transactions and mediates every connection between the device and the outside world. The company said it began its open-source and audit program with that component rather than with parts of the stack that are easier to publish. UKey publishes the firmware source code in the public repository bestyourwallet/firmware-core under release tag 1.5.0.

[CertiK](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/00000jz/certik) operates Skynet, where UKey's security score, security posture, monitoring events and audit history are publicly visible. UKey said the firmware review is the first phase of its open-source and audit program and covered the firmware, not the device as a whole.

## UKey's Product Line Behind the Firmware

According to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data), UKey launched the Seed Ring, a battery-free NFC recovery ring designed for daily wear as a secure seed phrase backup, in July 2026, with two additional Seed-series products, the Seed Card and Seed Ti, planned. The same records show UKey Core 26 supports assets on more than 50 mainstream blockchain networks including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and Kaspa, and that UKey has provided self-hosted wallet solutions to users in more than 100 countries and regions since 2023.

## Earlier UKey Security and Launch Steps

On October 12, 2026, UKey released a customer advisory on hardware wallet supply chain security after reports of device tampering, explaining tamper-detection features and checks customers should perform before first use, including verifying purchase source and packaging, GlobeNewswire reported. On July 31, 2026, UKey previewed the upcoming launch of its Core 26 hardware wallet and UKey Seed Series lineup, with pricing and availability details to be announced through official channels, CoinMarketCap reported.

## What UKey Plans Next

UKey said client-side code publication, further independent reviews and greater transparency around the hardware are on its roadmap, and that it plans to disclose the scope and results of each phase as it is completed. The company said users should update firmware only through official UKey channels and can check device authenticity at ukey.com/hw-verify before setup.
