Hito: The Next Generation Crypto Wallet Presale

I’m Mikhail Kirillov, building Hito, the next-generation crypto hardware wallet.

Why?

Current hardware wallets are simply not good enough.

For crypto to succeed, we need a superior hardware wallet that is functional, highly secure, and easy to use.

Our mission at Hito is to create hardware wallet that we all want and need.

If you’ve used an existing hardware wallet, you know the fear and frustration.

Existing hardware wallets are clunky. It takes ages to figure out how to use them, and will always need the extra step of retrieving and connecting.

  • If Metamask doesn’t connect, the software in the wallet will crash.
  • You can’t read the contract on the screen to approve the transaction.
  • As you hit "accept," you feel a sinking heart and wait in the hope that the transaction is correct. The time between the button press and the transaction being verified feels like an eternity.

At Hito, we are fixing all of that.

We made a wallet beautiful to touch, secure and easy to use.

The Journey to Hito

I have been creating hardware since the age of 12. Getting electronic components in my home country was hard, but it did not stop me. I collected old electronic equipment, stripped it, and used acquired parts to build my new hardware. I got obsessed with building both hardware and software products. This obsession stayed with me for my whole life - from childhood to university to my professional career.

My industry experience includes roles of CTO at Copywriting marketplace, CTO at Programmatic Advertising platform, and Interim CEO and Advisor in a couple of hardware startups, Altos and Cinemood.

Down The Rabbit Hole

I started investing in crypto in 2018. I used different hardware wallets and was not happy with them. They were not user-friendly, I was not too fond of the design, but most importantly, they were not secure as they should be.

If my grandmother can not use this, how will we enable everyone to use crypto and participate in this new economy?

Crypto has made a lot of progress since then, but hardware wallets did not change much.

With this in mind, I created Hito: a sleek, intuitive hardware wallet with the highest security standards to serve the next generation of crypto.

Introducing Hito

To keep up with the massive growth in participation in crypto, Hito delivers on:

  • Color touch screen. You can see exactly what you are approving.
  • The highest security standards with innovative security methods such as a single system-on-chip.
  • Inductive charging - no cables. More secure.
  • Intuitive sleek design – fits in a regular wallet.
  • A comprehensive device with access to over 600 digital assets (including Bitcoin, ETH and ERC20 tokens).
  • Supports all software wallets.
  • High-performance processor.
  • A commitment to a roadmap of ongoing innovation to improve security and usability.

We build our Hito wallets in our secure lab in California.

Hito is the next-generation hardware wallet that crypto needs.

I’m pleased to announce our very first Hito wallets for presale on Mirror.

6 Editions
Collectable NFTs available exclusively for backers.

The original artwork for each NFT is inspired by Kazimir Malevich’s Black Square.  Kazimir Malevich’s Suprematism art movement and his famous painting The Black Square is the symbol of a new era in visual art. Hito is also a black square and it is a symbol of the change from early adopter hardware wallets to the modern sleek wallet of the future.

  • Hito Black Square represents a microchip on a circuit board.
  • Hito Peace represents The Peace.
  • Hito Love represents The Love.
  • Hito Black and Red Square represent a Hito wallet and its owner on a flight to the moon.
  • Hito Suprematism represent a Hito wallet in the universe connecting tech with art (crypto + NFT).
  • Hito Capital represents Capital itself.

Following the presale, we will expand production and aim to deliver within a few months.

We understand the dangers of storing your physical delivery details in a database, so we're not asking for them at this stage.

Only when your Hito is ready we will request your delivery details*. As soon as we've shipped your Hito, your physical delivery address will be deleted from our database — forever.

*Delivery cost is not included in the presale price for Black, Love and Peace editions.

We also suggest getting your Hito delivered to a pickup location, never compromising your physical location.

Making a Mark

This is my life’s work and I’m committed to bringing Hito to the world:

I would love you to support this presale and not miss the chance to acquire the very first Hito wallets as they ship from our laboratory.

We aspire that billions of people will have a Hito in their pocket one day.; this is your chance to be one of the first.

As part of our commitment to freedom, security, and equality, and in light of the ongoing war in Ukraine, we will donate 5% of all funds received in this campaign to help Ukrainian refugees.
