Hardware wallet security is critical. As someone who audits smart contracts, I see similar patterns in software wallets too. The key issue is always key management — where are private keys stored, how are they derived, and what happens during transaction signing.
For DeFi protocols, I always recommend:
Independent security audits (not just the team's internal review)
Bug bounty programs with clear scope
Transparent disclosure policies
The Coldcard situation shows why independent security research matters.
