Does anyone know of any good hardware wallets that are open source? I've been using a Ledger Nano for years but not being open source is a deal breaker for me. With the Ledger Recover feature meant to help restore people's private keys/seeds by complying with KYC, the hardware wallet could be compromised as we know it. If it's not open source, it cannot be trusted.

Any suggestions and/or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Smiley

Wait.
The Ledger cannot be compromised if, after the update, you did not click "YES" when the question appeared there - "Whether to add a recovery function".
If you clicked NO, then the Ledger remains in the previous state. Without the possibility of remote recovery by other people.
Closed code is bad, but on the other hand, attackers do not know exactly how the wallet works.
That's why the Trust Wallet closed its source code, and now its code is also closed. But Electrum has an open source code. But I only believe Ledger.
