By simplifying the overall experience and rethinking recovery, we\u2019re opening the door for anyone, anywhere to truly and confidently own and use crypto.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tim Draper, Founder of Draper Associates and Satoshi Trillionaire, added, \u201cWhat the crypto industry needs more than anything right now are solutions that don\u2019t require in-depth technical knowledge while maintaining high security standards. This is exactly what I saw in Ryder\u2019s hardware wallet with its minute-or-under set-up and offline design that keeps users\u2019 holdings safe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ryder One introduces TapSafe recovery, a robust recovery solution for crypto wallets. TapSafe backups are spread across mobile phones and coin-sized NFC Recovery Tags. These backups have to physically be brought together in other to restore access to the wallet in the case of loss. TapSafe is redundant, self-custodial, and eliminates the single point of failure that has existed with seed phrases until now. Customers can use Ryder One to safely create and back up their wallet within 60 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>Julien Neree, CPO of Ryder said \u201cthree years, countless iterations, one mission: to make self-custody effortless for everyone.\u201d Looking ahead, the Ryder team is expanding their vision to everyday use-cases, enabling people to use cryptocurrency directly from their hardware wallet with Ryder\u2019s companion app for tap-to-pay and other seamless, real-world transactions. Ryder is guiding the future of how billions of people will use and integrate digital assets in their daily lives.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ql-align-center\">###<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Ryder<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ryder.id\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Ryder<\/a> is changing how people interact with crypto by creating world-class products that make it safer, simpler, and more social.
