Security Notice: Start 2021 Right, Update Your CoolWallet Today!

Lately, our app and firmware updates have been more frequent and difficult than usual in the last few months of 2020. And no, the reason is not simply “Because it's 2020”!

Here's actually why: Earlier in 2020 we completely revamped the structure of the security protocol to ensure there are no vulnerabilities. This requires a slightly complicated wallet reset and software update of both the CoolWallet and CoolWallet App.

These updates are essential to ensure our enhanced security features operate as they should and also include some minor fixes that are necessary to offer our users the best service and security. You can read more here about why it is essential that you update your CoolWallet soon.

We have also received quite a few complaints and feedback from our community about the frequent updating process. We know it's been a tough year for everyone. We apologize for the inconvenience these updates bring. Thus, going forward, we will try our best to consolidate all the necessary changes into one update.

The good news is that: Currently, all of the known issues have been fixed and will be a thing of the past once you update.
