It features a special compartment for biometric scanning.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>G-Knot supports most major cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, ETH, SOL, BNB, and XRP.<\/p>\n<p>According to the website, biometric data never leaves the device and is encrypted locally. Authentication is based on <a href=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/news\/what-is-a-zero-knowledge-proof\">zero-knowledge proofs<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Unlocking the wallet with a finger takes less than a second. Users can register up to eight fingerprints with three graphic keys for each.<\/p>\n<p>An AI-based engine called P2N2 ensures rapid multimodal recognition and adapts in real-time to potential threats.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cOnly a real finger with blood can unlock your wallet, providing robust protection against spoofing and unauthorized access, and enhanced security compared to fingerprints or facial recognition. The mechanism achieves over 99% accuracy and adapts to any finger position,\u201d the team clarified.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>G-Knot has already released the first 10,000 devices, which are available for purchase at $299.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As a bonus for ordering, wallet owners will receive 2,500 native GNOT tokens and priority access to future airdrops.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Back in October, hardware device developer Ledger <a href=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/news\/ledger-faces-backlash-over-transaction-monetisation-model\">introduced<\/a> a new <a href=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/news\/what-is-a-multisignature-what-is-a-ring-signature\">multisignature<\/a> feature.
