Apex 钱包：安全的比特币存储在您的皮肤下

生物黑客将生物黑客和加密货币结合起来，通过皮下钱包植入来保护比特币的安全。

A new type of cryptocurrency wallet is being implanted under the skin by biohackers in an effort to keep their Bitcoin safe.

生物黑客正在将一种新型的加密货币钱包植入皮下，以确保比特币的安全。

The Apex Wallet: Keeping Bitcoin Close at Hand

Apex 钱包：让比特币触手可及

Putting your coins inside of yourself is a unique method to keep them close at all times, Decrypt explains, thanks to Dangerous Things and VivoKey Technologies of Seattle.

Decrypt 解释说，得益于西雅图的 Dangerous Things 和 VivoKey Technologies，将硬币放入体内是一种让它们始终保持在身边的独特方法。

From the beginning, wallets have been an important—and often frustrating—part of the cryptocurrency landscape. Wallets come in all shapes and sizes, from credit card-sized devices and USB thumb drives to desktop computer programs and browser extensions.

从一开始，钱包就一直是加密货币领域的重要组成部分，但常常令人沮丧。钱包有各种形状和大小，从信用卡大小的设备和 USB 拇指驱动器到桌面计算机程序和浏览器扩展。

“These wallets are hardware wallets that are designed to send cryptocurrency,” Amal Graafstra, founder and CEO of VivoKey Technologies and Dangerous Things, told Decrypt in an interview. “Your phone app is your user interface, but it doesn’t have any private keys. The private key and the actual signing of the Bitcoin transaction, or the crypto transaction, is done in the chip.”

VivoKey Technologies 和 Dangerous Things 的创始人兼首席执行官 Amal Graafstra 在接受 Decrypt 采访时表示：“这些钱包是硬件钱包，旨在发​​送加密货币。” “你的手机应用程序是你的用户界面，但它没有任何私钥。私钥和比特币交易或加密交易的实际签名是在芯片中完成的。”

Biohacking, a burgeoning field that includes research into life extension and the use of brain-computer interface (BCI) technology to control computers, offers a potential solution. Many biohackers, including researchers and tech enthusiasts, are using subdermal computer chip implants. The Apex chip has multiple uses, Graafstra says: storing Bitcoin, opening doors and paying for coffee.

生物黑客是一个新兴领域，包括对生命延长和使用脑机接口（BCI）技术控制计算机的研究，提供了一个潜在的解决方案。许多生物黑客，包括研究人员和技术爱好者，正在使用皮下计算机芯片植入物。 Graafstra 表示，Apex 芯片有多种用途：存储比特币、开门和支付咖啡费用。

“We have a couple of different Bitcoin and crypto wallets right now that are supported,” Graafstra said. “We have a Satochip wallet, the Seedkeeper application, and the Status IM key card wallet. Those work with different blockchains.”

“我们现在有几种不同的比特币和加密钱包受到支持，”Graafstra 说。 “我们有 Satochip 钱包、Seedkeeper 应用程序和 Status IM 钥匙卡钱包。它们适用于不同的区块链。”

Dangerous Things and VivoKey, brands that launched in 2013 and 2017, respectively, focus on in-body radio frequency identification (RFID) and near-field communication (NFC) technologies.

Dangerous Things 和 VivoKey 分别于 2013 年和 2017 年推出，专注于体内射频识别 (RFID) 和近场通信 (NFC) 技术。

VivoKey describes the Satochip as a BIP32/39 wallet applet that allows users to securely store cryptocurrencies and conduct transactions on the blockchain. The Satochip also supports multiple fiat currencies.

VivoKey 将 Satochip 描述为 BIP32/39 钱包小程序，允许用户安全地存储加密货币并在区块链上进行交易。 Satochip 还支持多种法定货币。

“The Apex currently comes in a ‘Flex’ form factor, which is a much wider device, but very thin,” Graafstra says. “And so the procedure is similar; it’s a needle, you put the needle under the skin, you remove the needle, and then with sterile gloves, you pick up the Apex Flex, and you slide that into the incision.”

“Apex 目前采用‘Flex’外形，这是一种更宽的设备，但非常薄，”Graafstra 说。 “所以程序是相似的；它是一根针，你把针放在皮肤下，取出针，然后戴上无菌手套，拿起 Apex Flex，然后将其滑入切口。”

An Apex Flex implanted device currently costs $349.

Apex Flex 植入设备目前售价 349 美元。
