Layer launches "unhackable" wallet for storing cryptocurrency

Benjamin Hubert的Layer设计工作室推出了Trove产品，这是一款数字钱包以及与其相关联的应用系统，用于存储密码货币，防止它们丢失或被盗窃。
Layer设计工作室与金融科技创业公司Trove一起推出这款产品，目的是使比特币等数字货币的存储和管理更加安全和方便。
系统使密码货币保持离线状态，使其不易受到黑客的攻击，同时它也集成了智能安全系统。如果你忘了密码就更难丢失了，设计师们称它无懈可击、永不会丢失。
Benjamin Hubert's design studio Layer has launched Trove, a digital wallet and app system that allow you to store your cryptocurrency without fear of loss or theft.
Layer collaborated with fintech startup Trove to launch the products, which are designed to make it safer and easier to store and manage digital currencies such as bitcoin.
The system keeps cryptocurrency offline, making it less susceptible to hackers, and also incorporates smart security systems, making it much harder to lose if you forget your password. The designers call it unhackable and unloseable.

Trove由四部分组成：纽扣，充电器，安全系统以及Trove应用程序。
纽扣是一种小型的可穿戴设备，用户可以储存货币用于日常消费，就像钱包一样。它只有两厘米宽，可以很方便的携带在口袋里或像珠宝一样佩戴在身上。
这个装置目前正处于原型阶段，它配备了内置的心电图传感器，只能以生物特征的方式打开。这意味着用户需要将皮肤与设备前面的接触区域接触上几秒钟才能解锁。
Trove consists of four parts: Coin, Keep, Safe, and the Trove app.
Coin is a small wearable device that allows users to store currency for everyday spending, like a wallet or purse. Measuring just two centimetres wide, it can be easily carried around in a pocket or worn on the body like jewellery.
Currently in the prototype stage, the device comes with an inbuilt electrocardiogram (ECG) sensor that means it can only be opened biometrically. This means users need to press their skin against the contact zone on the front of the device for a few seconds to unlock it.

就像指纹或虹膜检测一样，心电传感器可以识别用户独特的心跳模式，并将其作为一种验证方式。这将激活与Trove应用程序的蓝牙连接，用户就可以对数据和资金进行访问了。
这一特征使得该产品与使用静态加密密钥（复杂密码或密码）提供访问权限的加密货币钱包有明显的不同。
Layer说：“研究人员推测，35%的比特币因无法恢复的密码而丢失。因为比特币的安全性是基于复杂的专用秘钥。它允许资金转移，一旦秘钥丢失，就意味着再也找不回这些比特币了。”
他说：“这个系统比现有的需要复杂密码恢复系统或需要打印多页独特密码散列的系统要简单得多。”
“纽扣”使用了黑色泡沫铝和银阳阳极氧化铝两种材料，可以磁性连接到三个不同的附件：腕带、项链或胸针，这为用户提供了更多个性化的选择。
腕带使用了Kvadrat（丹麦高端纺织品牌）纺织品，项链有多种饰带种类，上面的材料包括水磨石，丙烯酸塑料和陶瓷。
Layer说：“Trove纽扣的设计符合用户的个人风格。用户可以选择将它作为时尚配件，或者以更谨慎的方式佩戴。”
Just like fingerprint or iris detection, the ECG sensor recognises the user's unique heartbeat pattern, and uses it as a mode of verification. This activates a bluetooth connection with the Trove app, providing access to the data and funds contained within.
This feature makes the product markedly different from cryptocurrency wallets that use static encryption keys – complex passwords or pin numbers – to provide access.
"Researchers speculate that 35 per cent of all bitcoins have been lost due to irrecoverable passwords," said Layer. "As the security of bitcoin is based on complex private keys that allow the transfer of funds, once the private key is lost, it is extremely improbable that lost coins can be recovered."
"This system is much simpler than existing systems that require complex password recovery systems or the need to print multiple pages of unique cryptographic hashes," it added.
Coin comes in two materials, black aerated aluminium and silver anodised aluminium, and can be magnetically attached to three different accessories, a wristband, necklace or brooch, giving plenty of options for personalisation.
The wristband comes in a variety of Kvadrat textiles, while the necklace features a variety of fascias, in material including terrazzo, acrylic or ceramic.
"The Trove Coin is designed to fit a user's personal style," said Layer. "The user has the option to openly display the Coin as a fashion accessory, or wear it in a more discreet manner."
Keep是给硬币充电的装置／Keep is a container used to inductively charge the Coin
Kepp和安全系统与硬币一起使用的。
Keep由火山岩和聚碳酸酯制成。它由USB-C端口驱动，用来为纽扣感应充电。
与此同时，安全系统是一家“谨慎的私人银行”。由心电信号验证保护，让用户在家中就能安全地存储加密货币。
Layer说：“纽扣用来储存日常使用的货币。安全系统让你能把个人财富安全地放在家里。”
Keep and Safe are both designed to be used alongside Coin.
Keep is a container made from volcanic rock and polycarbonate, which is powered by a USB-C port. It is used to inductively charge the Coin.
Meanwhile Safe is a "discreet personal home bank", protected by ECG verification, which allows users to safely store cryptocurrency at home.
"While Coin stores currency for daily use, Safe holds your decentralised personal wealth at home," said Layer.
Trove app为整个系统提供接口，它附带跟踪功能，帮助用户定位他们的纽扣／The Trove app provides the interface for the whole system. It comes with a tracking function to help users locate their Coin
Trove app为整个系统提供接口。用户可以跟踪他们的开销，监视货币价值随时间的变化，并比较不同加密货币的属性。
Trove app附带跟踪功能，让用户知道他们的“纽扣”在任何时候的确切位置，此外他还附带智能财务顾问。
Benjamin Hubert在2015年将他的工作室更名为“ Layer”，作为转向更“以人为本”项目的一部分。该团队开发了许多技术产品，包括无线充电电子设备的陶瓷托盘和跟踪碳足迹的腕带。
他们最新的项目认识到人们对密码货币和区域链的兴趣越来越大，他们最近的设计还包括一款教孩子们如何使用科技手段的app。
The Trove app provides the interface for the whole system. Users can keep track of their spending history, monitor how the value of the currency changes over time, and compare the performance of different cryptocurrencies.
The app also comes with a tracking function to let users know exactly where their Coin is at all times, as well as an AI financial advisor.
Benjamin Hubert rebranded his studio as Layer back in 2015, as part of a shift towards more "human-focused" projects. The team has worked on numerous tech products, including ceramic trays that wirelessly charge electronic devices and wristbands that track carbon footprints.
This latest project recognises the growing interest in cryptocurrency and blockchain. Other recent designs in the field include an app that teaches kids to use the tech.
