Yes. DAI is pre-programmed in the Cryptnox app as an ERC-20 token on Gnosis, so you do not need to add the token manually for that route. The Cryptnox Crypto Hardware Wallet – Dual-Card Set keeps the DAI wallet keys generated inside secure elements, with the second card created as the backup during setup. The free iOS and Android app connects to Web3 through WalletConnect and works with MetaMask.

DAI is available in the Cryptnox app as a pre-programmed ERC-20 token on Gnosis. That is the important support route for a DAI buyer: the app already contains the DAI token entry for Gnosis, so setup does not begin with manual token data for that route.
The Cryptnox Crypto Hardware Wallet – Dual-Card Set is the smart-card hardware wallet used with this DAI route. During a new setup, the wallet seed is generated inside both secure elements, giving you one DAI wallet card for regular use and a second card that already carries the backup role.
That distinction matters because ERC-20 tokens can appear on more than one EVM network. With Cryptnox, the ready DAI path is DAI on Gnosis. Other EVM networks can be added when needed, but the Gnosis DAI token does not need that extra manual step.
Before buying for a multi-asset setup, compare DAI with other listed routes on the Cryptnox coin and blockchain support page. If you are deciding whether a smart-card wallet fits your wider holdings, the Cryptnox hardware wallet collection gives the broader product context around asset pages like this one.
A buyer searching for a DAI wallet on Android usually wants mobile control without making the phone the only place where the wallet keys live. Cryptnox separates those roles. The app runs on Android and iOS, while the DAI wallet keys are generated inside the card’s secure element and stay there.
For mobile DAI use, the phone provides the Cryptnox app interface and the Web3 connection options. The smart card provides the hardware key container. You tap the card to the phone with NFC when using the app, and the same card can also be inserted into a reader as a contact smart card. The DAI setup is therefore based on a dual-interface card.
This is the practical reason Cryptnox works as a DAI wallet for Android and iOS buyers: DAI is visible through the app on its Gnosis route, while key generation and key storage remain tied to the secure element in the smart card.
The Dual-Card Set arrives uninitialised. When you create a new DAI wallet, setup generates the seed inside both secure elements. The result is not one live card and one empty spare; the second card is the backup card from the start.
For a new DAI holder, that removes the default step of writing down a recovery phrase during onboarding. The backup is another secure element created in the same setup process. Importing an existing 12- or 24-word BIP39 recovery phrase is available as an advanced option, but it is not the default path for creating a fresh DAI wallet with the set.
The Cryptnox startup guide is the setup companion when you are preparing the cards for DAI rather than importing an older wallet. It keeps the first decision clear: create a new dual-card wallet by default, then use the DAI entry that is already present on Gnosis.
If your goal is to manage DAI on the ready Gnosis route, there is no need to start by adding a token. Manual token entry belongs to other ERC-20 routes you choose to configure later.
The shortest Cryptnox path for DAI is the pre-programmed ERC-20 token on Gnosis. Use that route when you want DAI available in the app without entering token details yourself.
Cryptnox also supports a broader EVM workflow. Any EVM network can be added through Add a Network. After an EVM network is added, its native coin and any ERC-20 token deployed on that chain can be managed. ERC-20 tokens can also be added manually through Add a Token.
Use the ready Gnosis route when your intent is DAI in the app with no manual token addition. This keeps the asset and network choice explicit: DAI, ERC-20, Gnosis. It also avoids treating every DAI listing on every EVM network as the same wallet route.
Add a Network matters when you specifically want another EVM network. Once that network is present in the app, its native coin and ERC-20 tokens deployed there can be managed. That flexibility is separate from the DAI-on-Gnosis entry that is already programmed in the app.
If you are comparing EVM routes, the Cryptnox hardware wallet for Polygon page is a useful comparison because it focuses on another EVM environment. For a different asset route, the Cryptnox hardware wallet for Ronin page shows how a separate network route is handled.
DAI buyers often want a hardware wallet that can be used beyond a simple app view. The Cryptnox app connects to Web3 through WalletConnect and works with MetaMask, so the pre-programmed DAI token on Gnosis can be used from the app in Web3 sessions.
The card remains the key container during those sessions. The app provides the connection path, but the DAI wallet keys are generated inside the secure element and never leave it. That separation is important when using a mobile app with Web3: connection and custody are not the same role.
For buyers comparing DAI with non-EVM holdings, the Cryptnox hardware wallet for Bitcoin page gives a contrast with a different asset model. If you also hold TRON, the Cryptnox hardware wallet for TRON page covers that separate route instead of treating it as an ERC-20 configuration.
For DAI on Gnosis, the central security question is where the wallet keys are created and where they remain. With the Cryptnox Dual-Card Set, the keys for the DAI wallet are generated inside the secure element and never leave it. The card uses an EAL6+-certified chip, and that certification belongs to the chip platform.
The phone does not become the place where the DAI wallet keys are stored because the Cryptnox app is installed. The phone supplies the interface, the network connection, and its unlock prompt through the app. The card itself has no biometric sensor.
The DAI balance you manage in the app depends on continued access to the wallet keys. During setup, the seed is generated inside both secure elements, so the second card is prepared as the backup for the same DAI wallet. Store it separately from the daily card.
The form factor also matters. The card is a contact and NFC smart card. For DAI management on a phone, you tap the card with NFC. For contact use, you insert the same card into a reader. That dual-interface design gives the DAI wallet a card-based workflow on mobile and through a reader, while the keys remain inside the secure element.
Choose the Cryptnox Dual-Card Set for DAI if you want the Gnosis ERC-20 route already present in the app and a backup model based on two secure elements rather than a default written recovery phrase. The DAI token entry is pre-programmed, and the second card is created as the backup during initialisation.
If those checks match how you want to hold DAI, order the Cryptnox Crypto Hardware Wallet – Dual-Card Set. If you plan to add assets beyond DAI, review the coin and blockchain support page before setup so that each asset is matched with the intended network route.
Yes. DAI is pre-programmed in the Cryptnox app as an ERC-20 token on Gnosis. You do not need to add the token manually for that route. Manual token addition is for ERC-20 tokens you choose to configure on added EVM networks.
Yes. The free Cryptnox app runs on Android and iOS. For DAI, the app shows the pre-programmed ERC-20 token on Gnosis, while the smart card keeps the wallet keys generated inside its secure element.
The Dual-Card Set ships uninitialised. During setup, the seed is generated inside both secure elements, so the second card is the backup for the same DAI wallet. By default, you do not need to write down a recovery phrase.
No. The card itself has no biometric sensor. Unlock uses the phone’s prompt through the Cryptnox app. The card’s role is to keep the DAI wallet keys generated inside the secure element and away from the phone.
Yes. Cryptnox ships worldwide from the official CRYPTNOX store. Orders to Switzerland, the European Union and the United States are dispatched from stock already held in each of those regions, so the parcel does not cross a customs border into your country and there are no import duties to pay. Orders to other destinations are shipped internationally, and any import duties or local taxes are set by the destination country and are the recipient’s responsibility. Current shipping rates are shown at checkout.
Yes. The Cryptnox app connects to Web3 through WalletConnect and works with MetaMask. DAI is available in the app as a pre-programmed ERC-20 token on Gnosis, while the wallet keys remain inside the secure element.
The ready DAI route is the pre-programmed ERC-20 token on Gnosis. The app also lets you add any EVM network through Add a Network; once added, its native coin and ERC-20 tokens deployed on that chain can be managed.
The Cryptnox card is a contact and NFC smart card. You can tap it to a phone for app use or insert it into a reader. It uses an EAL6+-certified chip, with private keys generated inside the secure element.
No, and on this network that is not a limitation. The Cryptnox wallet uses one address per chain. HD address rotation comes from Bitcoin’s UTXO model and the BIP32/BIP44/BIP49/BIP84 derivation scheme; on account-model networks each account is a single fixed address by design, so the question does not apply in the same way. Cryptnox’s single-address-per-chain behaviour matches how these networks work.
At the cryptography layer the card derives keys along BIP32 and SLIP-10 paths, one path per supported chain, though that is not exposed in the app as multi-address management.
