Solana co-founder warns hardware wallets may use weak random sources; suggests dice for seed phrase creation.

Solana co-founder Toly cautioned crypto users about potential weaknesses in hardware wallets, which might use predictable or malicious random-number sources to generate wallet seed phrases. He highlighted risks such as devices producing numbers based on predictable data like time hashes or secretly sending preloaded mnemonics. To enhance security, Toly recommended generating seed phrases using dice and advised using older signing devices with cleared sensitive data. He also suggested signing transactions on a freshly configured, offline Mac and wiping it afterward to reduce vulnerabilities. These steps aim to protect wallet phrase creation and signing processes from potential exploits.

Solana co-founder Toly's wallet security advice is context for crypto market data. For readers following major cryptocurrencies, here is Pluang's market snapshot as of Oct 27, 2026 10:01 WIB: 34 of 50 major cryptocurrencies rose, 14 fell. Notable moves include SXP down 46.27% at Rp37, BAL up 11.14% at Rp16.297, and EOS up 8.13% at Rp12.649, with typical hold times of 94, 85, and 87 days respectively.
