Ledgerless money

A chip that unlocks a new form of money

Shift is a small piece of silicon that lets two people settle a payment directly between themselves, in the time it takes a signal to travel from one device to the other. Online or offline.

No intermediary, no waiting, no system standing between you and the person you are paying. It is, as best we can describe it, what cash might have been if it had been invented today.

Here is the whitepaper, if you like to dig deeper.

A system designed to imitate physical cash

Secure. Direct. Instant. Private. Feeless. Offline.

  • EAL 6+ Security

    Tamper-resistant secure element. Advance protection against both invasive and non-invasive attacks.

  • Physically Unclonable

    Each chip has a unique “digital fingerprint” of random physical variations created during manufacturing.

  • Hardware Key TRNG

    Keys are randomly generated & stored in a secure keystore. It will take more than the life of the universe to unlock.

  • Quantum Secure

    Runs Quantum proof crypto accelerators algorithms: ML-KEM / ML-DSA

  • Key Encumberance

    Once used, the Key is permanently burnt by the hardware itself. Ensuring that it can never be used again.

  • Remote Attestation

    Pairing requires a Factory-provisioned attestation keypair card-issued by shift. Makes sure your firmware is not bugged.

  • Non-Portable Access Keys

    Keys never leave the chip and cannot be ported via seed phrase to any other chip unlike existing hardware wallets.

Two paths. One Ledgerless World.
