AirGap Vault is a blockchain agnostic crypto vault that turns your mobile phone into a cold wallet. AirGap Vault does not connect to any network, irrespective of the device used. This system built into the app makes it more secure than an ordinary crypto wallet. Transactions can be signed seamlessly without the use of cables, thanks to verifiable QR codes. This opens up multiple possibilities for interacting with other solutions. AirGap Vault is currently used alongside other companion apps like AirGap Wallet, MetaMask, Sparrow Wallet, BlueWallet, Specter, and any other QR code-based wallets. These companion apps serve as watch-only wallets that allow users to view portfolios and initiate transactions while the Vault signs transactions and protect your private keys offline.

QR2Connect

Contact anyone without sharing your phone number. QR2Connect turns a simple QR code into a private communication channel. Stick it on your boat, your car, your luggage, your pet's tag — anywhere you'd rather not post your number. When someone scans it, they can message you directly. No phone numbers exchanged, ever. The scanner doesn't even need the app. HOW IT WORKS 1. Create your QR code in the app and add a message like "If found, scan here." 2. Print it on a tag, sticker, or magnet from our store — or save it to your phone. 3. If someone finds your item, they scan and chat with you anonymously. BUILT FOR BOATERS Label your kayak, dinghy, paddleboard, or dock box. Meets "if found" labeling requirements — without handwriting your cell number for the whole marina to see. YOUR NUMBER STAYS PRIVATE. THEIR NUMBER STAYS PRIVATE.
