A recent Ledger distributor incident has triggered industry discussion on whether hardware wallets should incorporate self-destruct mechanisms upon disassembly to ensure device authenticity. SlowMist founder Yu Xian argued that such features may become essential following the security concerns, or alternative verification methods must be established to confirm devices are genuine factory originals.
dForce founder Mindao countered that self-destructing upon opening would actually hinder verification efforts, as removable designs allow users to cross-reference circuit diagrams for tampering checks. While Ledger provides a hardware integrity verification guide on its official website, Mindao noted the technical complexity makes it impractical for average users to perform independently.
