Foundation Devices is an established Bitcoin hardware wallet maker (founded 2020, 24k followers) now pivoting to 'Human Authority Hardware' with Passport Prime — a device handling Bitcoin keys, 2FA, security keys, and encrypted storage.

They raised $6.4M led by Fulgur Ventures and recently launched their KeyOS SDK for developers.

The product is shipping and mainnet-live, but this is NOT an early-stage gem — it's a known player in the hardware wallet space evolving its positioning for the AI era.

Green flags: Real working product shipping worldwide (Passport Prime) · $6.4M raise from Fulgur Ventures shows institutional backing · Open source KeyOS SDK now available for developers · Technical credibility: Rust-based microkernel OS, sandboxed apps

Red flags: Already established — 24k followers, founded 2020, known in Bitcoin hardware wallet circles · Not early-stage: this is a mature product evolution, not a nascent project · Pivot messaging ('Human Authority Hardware') feels like rebranding existing tech rather than breakthrough innovation
