// SAFETY MODEL

Offline is a boundary, not a promise.

BitFloppy is a testnet/signet proof of concept. Its primary safety boundary is the separation between a networked wallet application and the private signing material on the board.

DEFAULT STATE

Locked

  • Public wallet files are available.
  • Private material stays unavailable.
  • Use this state for normal operation.

SIGNING STATE

Unlocked

  • Private material is exposed to the device workflow.
  • Required for transaction signing.
  • Keep this period short and controlled.

Practical safety checklist

Use testnet or signet only. Do not use this proof of concept with real funds.

Verify transaction details in your wallet application before creating a PSBT.

Safely eject the USB drive before restarting the board.

Restart the board after signing to return to the locked state.
