What is DCENT?
DCENT is a hardware wallet line from IoTrust that includes the DCENT X, DCENT S and a fingerprint-based Biometric Wallet, paired with a mobile app. The company lists support for 100 mainnets and 10,000+ tokens, and prices run from $59 for the DCENT S card kit to $230 for the DCENT X.
How DCENT works
DCENT sells three device types that pair with the DCENT app.
DCENT X has a 2.4-inch AMOLED touchscreen, a fingerprint sensor with PIN fallback, a built-in battery, Bluetooth 5.0 and USB-C, and an EAL6+ certified secure chip. The Biometric Wallet is a Bluetooth device with an EAL5+ chip and fingerprint sensor that holds up to 80 accounts. DCENT S is a battery-free NFC card: you build the transaction in the app and tap the card to sign in about a second.
DCENT says keys are generated offline by a hardware true random number generator inside the secure element and never leave the chip. The DCENT S kit adds an R3covery card that stores your 24-word mnemonic, so you back up and restore with an NFC tap instead of writing the words down. The app also offers cross-chain swaps, dApp connections and a view of your DeFi positions.
How to start with DCENT
- Order a device from the DCENT global store and install the DCENT app on iOS or Android.
- For the Biometric Wallet, set up the fingerprint sensor and write down the 24-word recovery phrase.
- Because of international rules on products with built-in batteries, each parcel can hold at most two Biometric Wallets.
- The store covers import duties for the US, UK/EU and Japan; elsewhere, any import taxes are yours to pay.
DCENT fees and limits
- Store list prices: DCENT S + R3covery Card Kit $59, Biometric Wallet $159, DCENT X $230, and DCENT X with the R3covery kit $249.
The store lists a 1-year warranty and 14-day returns for unopened devices. The app offers swaps and cross-chain swaps, and network fees apply to every transaction.
Risks to know before using DCENT
- DCENT publishes Biometric Wallet firmware on GitHub as release binaries, not as source code, so outside reviewers cannot audit the firmware.
- The Bluetooth models send only public data over an encrypted link, per DCENT, but Bluetooth is still a wireless attack surface that USB-only or NFC-only devices avoid.
- If the R3covery card and main card are kept together, one loss or theft exposes both.
