Build your own hardware wallet

A Bitcoin hardware wallet is a physical device that securely stores your private keys, allowing you to manage and protect your cryptocurrencies offline, away from potential online threats. And you can build one yourself for under $50 using readily available, off-the-shelf parts.

Below, you will find a comprehensive list of required components for building a SeedSigner, along with their respective links.

Required components

  • Raspberry Pi Zero 1.3 AliExpress

  • Raspberry Pi GPIO header (unless shipped with the Pi as is the case above)

  • Display 1.3 inch LCD Hat 240x240 pixels by WaveShare AliExpress

  • Micro SD card (minimum 32MB) AliExpress

  • Camera module AliExpress

  • Cost for components: ~450 SEK (September 2024)

A 3D-printed case is not included in the aforementioned price estimate. You may either opt to purchase one separately or have it produced through a 3D printing service of your choice. See for instance the Open Pill or Orange Pill cases here . The cover image above is an example of the snug SeedSigner LessLuggage Enclosure .

Tools required

A soldering iron will be required unless the GPIO headers on the Raspberry Pi have already been pre-soldered (which is the case with the link above). You also need a way to flash the micro SD card.
