[Ledger Reseller Incident Sparks Discussion on 'Self-Destruct Mechanism' for Hardware Wallets]
SlowMist founder Yu Jian posted on the X platform, stating that after the Ledger reseller incident, a self-destruct mechanism for hardware wallets upon disassembly might become a necessary feature. Otherwise, there would need to be an alternative mechanism to prove that the device in the user's possession is an official original product. In response, dForce founder Mindao argued that if disassembly leads to self-destruction, it would make it even harder to verify whether the device has been tampered with. A detachable design at least allows for verification against circuit diagrams. He also pointed out that Ledger's official website already provides a hardware integrity check guide, but it is too technical for ordinary users.
