Layer工作室釋出了用於儲存密碼貨幣的“不可破解”的錢包
Layer launches "unhackable" wallet for storing cryptocurrency
Benjamin Hubert的Layer設計工作室推出了Trove產品，這是一款數字錢包以及與其相關聯的應用系統，用於儲存密碼貨幣，防止它們丟失或被盜竊。
Layer設計工作室與金融科技創業公司Trove一起推出這款產品，目的是使比特幣等數字貨幣的儲存和管理更加安全和方便。
系統使密碼貨幣保持離線狀態，使其不易受到黑客的攻擊，同時它也集成了智慧安全系統。如果你忘了密碼就更難丟失了，設計師們稱它無懈可擊、永不會丟失。
Benjamin Hubert's design studio Layer has launched Trove, a digital wallet and app system that allow you to store your cryptocurrency without fear of loss or theft.
Layer collaborated with fintech startup Trove to launch the products, which are designed to make it safer and easier to store and manage digital currencies such as bitcoin.
The system keeps cryptocurrency offline, making it less susceptible to hackers, and also incorporates smart security systems, making it much harder to lose if you forget your password. The designers call it unhackable and unloseable.

Trove由四部分組成：鈕釦，充電器，安全系統以及Trove應用程式。
鈕釦是一種小型的可穿戴裝置，使用者可以儲存貨幣用於日常消費，就像錢包一樣。它只有兩釐米寬，可以很方便的攜帶在口袋裡或像珠寶一樣佩戴在身上。
這個裝置目前正處於原型階段，它配備了內建的心電圖感測器，只能以生物特徵的方式開啟。這意味著使用者需要將面板與裝置前面的接觸區域接觸上幾秒鐘才能解鎖。
Trove consists of four parts: Coin, Keep, Safe, and the Trove app.
Coin is a small wearable device that allows users to store currency for everyday spending, like a wallet or purse. Measuring just two centimetres wide, it can be easily carried around in a pocket or worn on the body like jewellery.
Currently in the prototype stage, the device comes with an inbuilt electrocardiogram (ECG) sensor that means it can only be opened biometrically. This means users need to press their skin against the contact zone on the front of the device for a few seconds to unlock it.

就像指紋或虹膜檢測一樣，心電感測器可以識別使用者獨特的心跳模式，並將其作為一種驗證方式。這將啟用與Trove應用程式的藍芽連線，使用者就可以對資料和資金進行訪問了。
這一特徵使得該產品與使用靜態加密金鑰（複雜密碼或密碼）提供訪問許可權的加密貨幣錢包有明顯的不同。
Layer說：“研究人員推測，35%的比特幣因無法恢復的密碼而丟失。因為比特幣的安全性是基於複雜的專用祕鑰。它允許資金轉移，一旦祕鑰丟失，就意味著再也找不回這些比特幣了。”
他說：“這個系統比現有的需要複雜密碼恢復系統或需要列印多頁獨特密碼雜湊的系統要簡單得多。”
“鈕釦”使用了黑色泡沫鋁和銀陽陽極氧化鋁兩種材料，可以磁性連線到三個不同的附件：腕帶、項鍊或胸針，這為使用者提供了更多個性化的選擇。
腕帶使用了Kvadrat（丹麥高階紡織品牌）紡織品，項鍊有多種飾帶種類，上面的材料包括水磨石，丙烯酸塑料和陶瓷。
Layer說：“Trove鈕釦的設計符合使用者的個人風格。使用者可以選擇將它作為時尚配件，或者以更謹慎的方式佩戴。”
Just like fingerprint or iris detection, the ECG sensor recognises the user's unique heartbeat pattern, and uses it as a mode of verification. This activates a bluetooth connection with the Trove app, providing access to the data and funds contained within.
This feature makes the product markedly different from cryptocurrency wallets that use static encryption keys – complex passwords or pin numbers – to provide access.
"Researchers speculate that 35 per cent of all bitcoins have been lost due to irrecoverable passwords," said Layer. "As the security of bitcoin is based on complex private keys that allow the transfer of funds, once the private key is lost, it is extremely improbable that lost coins can be recovered."
"This system is much simpler than existing systems that require complex password recovery systems or the need to print multiple pages of unique cryptographic hashes," it added.
Coin comes in two materials, black aerated aluminium and silver anodised aluminium, and can be magnetically attached to three different accessories, a wristband, necklace or brooch, giving plenty of options for personalisation.
The wristband comes in a variety of Kvadrat textiles, while the necklace features a variety of fascias, in material including terrazzo, acrylic or ceramic.
"The Trove Coin is designed to fit a user's personal style," said Layer. "The user has the option to openly display the Coin as a fashion accessory, or wear it in a more discreet manner."
Keep是給硬幣充電的裝置／Keep is a container used to inductively charge the Coin
Kepp和安全系統與硬幣一起使用的。
Keep由火山岩和聚碳酸酯製成。它由USB-C埠驅動，用來為鈕釦感應充電。
與此同時，安全系統是一家“謹慎的私人銀行”。由心電訊號驗證保護，讓使用者在家中就能安全地儲存加密貨幣。
Layer說：“鈕釦用來儲存日常使用的貨幣。安全系統讓你能把個人財富安全地放在家裡。”
Keep and Safe are both designed to be used alongside Coin.
Keep is a container made from volcanic rock and polycarbonate, which is powered by a USB-C port. It is used to inductively charge the Coin.
Meanwhile Safe is a "discreet personal home bank", protected by ECG verification, which allows users to safely store cryptocurrency at home.
"While Coin stores currency for daily use, Safe holds your decentralised personal wealth at home," said Layer.
Trove app為整個系統提供介面，它附帶跟蹤功能，幫助使用者定位他們的鈕釦／The Trove app provides the interface for the whole system. It comes with a tracking function to help users locate their Coin
Trove app為整個系統提供介面。使用者可以跟蹤他們的開銷，監視貨幣價值隨時間的變化，並比較不同加密貨幣的屬性。
Trove app附帶跟蹤功能，讓使用者知道他們的“鈕釦”在任何時候的確切位置，此外他還附帶智慧財務顧問。
Benjamin Hubert在2015年將他的工作室更名為“ Layer”，作為轉向更“以人為本”專案的一部分。該團隊開發了許多技術產品，包括無線充電電子裝置的陶瓷托盤和跟蹤碳足跡的腕帶。
他們最新的專案認識到人們對密碼貨幣和區域鏈的興趣越來越大，他們最近的設計還包括一款教孩子們如何使用科技手段的app。
The Trove app provides the interface for the whole system. Users can keep track of their spending history, monitor how the value of the currency changes over time, and compare the performance of different cryptocurrencies.
The app also comes with a tracking function to let users know exactly where their Coin is at all times, as well as an AI financial advisor.
Benjamin Hubert rebranded his studio as Layer back in 2015, as part of a shift towards more "human-focused" projects. The team has worked on numerous tech products, including ceramic trays that wirelessly charge electronic devices and wristbands that track carbon footprints.
This latest project recognises the growing interest in cryptocurrency and blockchain. Other recent designs in the field include an app that teaches kids to use the tech.
