Best Hardware Wallet for Cartesi (CTSI)

Cartesi (CTSI) Hardware Wallet

Does the Cryptnox wallet support Cartesi (CTSI)?

Cryptnox supports Cartesi (CTSI) as the CTSI ERC-20 token on Ethereum after you add it once through Add a Token. CTSI is not pre-programmed on the cards. Use the Ethereum contract 0x491604c0FDF08347Dd1fa4Ee062a822A5DD06B5D with a 0x-prefixed 20-byte EVM address, then manage that Ethereum account with the Cryptnox Crypto Hardware Wallet – Dual-Card Set, the free Cryptnox app, WalletConnect, and MetaMask.

CTSI support route on Cryptnox

Cartesi (CTSI) is held on Cryptnox through Ethereum as an ERC-20 token. It is not a separate pre-programmed asset on the cards, and it does not use a different address format inside the Cryptnox setup. The account you use for CTSI is a 0x-prefixed 20-byte EVM address controlled by the card.

The Cartesi CTSI token page identifies CTSI as the token associated with Cartesi, and the Etherscan CTSI token record lists the Ethereum contract as 0x491604c0FDF08347Dd1fa4Ee062a822A5DD06B5D. That is the contract to enter when adding CTSI manually.

CTSI details to enter or verify

  • Chain: Ethereum.
  • Standard: ERC-20 on Ethereum.
  • Wallet address format: 0x-prefixed 20-byte EVM address.
  • Token contract: 0x491604c0FDF08347Dd1fa4Ee062a822A5DD06B5D.
  • Setup path: add Ethereum through Add a Network if needed, then add CTSI through Add a Token.

The buying point is straightforward: the Cryptnox card protects the Ethereum account, and CTSI is added to that account as a token. You verify the Ethereum contract once, then use the card-controlled 0x address as the address that holds CTSI.

How the card protects the CTSI Ethereum account

For CTSI, the sensitive item is the Ethereum private key for the 0x address that holds the ERC-20 token. Cryptnox generates that private key inside the secure element, and the private key never leaves it. Adding the CTSI contract changes how the token is shown and managed; it does not move the Ethereum private key into the phone, MetaMask, or a WalletConnect session.

The card uses an EAL6+-certified chip. That chip-level security model matters for CTSI because the Ethereum account key is created and retained inside the secure element before CTSI is added for display. CTSI remains tied to the Ethereum account controlled by the card, not to the token entry screen itself.

What stays inside when CTSI is added

  • The Ethereum private key for the CTSI-holding 0x address is generated inside the secure element.
  • The CTSI contract address is entered only to add the ERC-20 token route.
  • The Ethereum account remains the control point for the CTSI balance.
  • WalletConnect and MetaMask workflows do not require exporting the private key from the card.

If you are comparing CTSI with other assets in the Cryptnox hardware wallet collection, the CTSI-specific requirement is accurate Ethereum ERC-20 setup with the correct token contract.

Adding the CTSI token without mixing up addresses

CTSI is not pre-programmed on the Cryptnox cards. If Ethereum is not already present in your setup, add Ethereum through Add a Network. Then add CTSI through Add a Token using 0x491604c0FDF08347Dd1fa4Ee062a822A5DD06B5D as the token contract.

The contract address and your receiving address are different values. Your receiving address is the 0x-prefixed Ethereum account controlled by the card. The CTSI contract is the ERC-20 identifier used so the token can be added and shown under that Ethereum account.

CTSI setup checklist

  • Choose the Ethereum route for CTSI.
  • Use a 0x-prefixed EVM account address for the card-controlled wallet address.
  • Enter the CTSI contract address only in the token-addition field.
  • Confirm that the contract is 0x491604c0FDF08347Dd1fa4Ee062a822A5DD06B5D.
  • After adding CTSI, manage it as an Ethereum ERC-20 token.

This distinction prevents a common setup error: pasting your wallet address where the token contract belongs, or treating the CTSI contract as a receiving address. For CTSI on Cryptnox, the card controls the Ethereum account; the contract identifies the token added to that account.

Dual-card backup for CTSI holders

The Cryptnox Crypto Hardware Wallet – 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 Ethereum account that can later hold CTSI.

That backup model fits CTSI because access to the token follows access to the Ethereum account. The second card is not a different CTSI account, and it is not a separate CTSI receiving address. It is the backup for the same card-controlled Ethereum account route.

What the second card means for CTSI

  • The main card and backup card are initialised for the same account setup.
  • CTSI is added as an Ethereum token after the card account exists.
  • The backup protects the Ethereum account that controls the CTSI-holding address.
  • Normal setup does not require copying recovery words.
  • Importing an existing 12 or 24-word BIP39 recovery phrase is an advanced option rather than the default CTSI setup path.

For a buyer who wants to hold CTSI without relying on a single card, the Dual-Card Set gives the same Ethereum account a second card from the start of setup.

Phone, reader, WalletConnect, and MetaMask use for CTSI

The Cryptnox card is a contact and NFC smart card. For CTSI, that means you can tap the card to a phone or insert it into a reader when working with the Ethereum account that holds the token. It is a dual-interface card, so CTSI management is not limited to a single card interaction method.

The free Cryptnox app is available on iOS and Android. When you use the app, unlock can use the phone’s biometrics; the card itself has no biometric sensor. The important CTSI detail is that this app unlock flow does not change where the Ethereum private key is held. The private key for the CTSI address remains inside the secure element.

Cryptnox connects to Web3 through WalletConnect and works with MetaMask. For CTSI, that means the card-controlled Ethereum account can be used in those workflows after the CTSI ERC-20 token has been added with the correct contract address.

Typical CTSI workflow

  • Initialise the Dual-Card Set so the Ethereum account is created inside the secure elements.
  • Add Ethereum through Add a Network if it is not already available.
  • Add CTSI through Add a Token using the Ethereum contract.
  • Use the Cryptnox app on iOS or Android with the card.
  • Connect through WalletConnect or use MetaMask where that workflow is needed.

For operating guidance on the card and app, use the Cryptnox hardware wallet tutorials. The CTSI-specific setup item is the ERC-20 token entry on Ethereum.

Where CTSI fits among supported assets

CTSI belongs on this wallet through the Ethereum ERC-20 route. The broader Cryptnox coin and blockchain support page helps buyers check wider asset coverage, while CTSI specifically depends on adding the Ethereum token contract 0x491604c0FDF08347Dd1fa4Ee062a822A5DD06B5D.

If you hold other EVM assets, the 0x address format may look familiar, but the setup details still depend on the asset and network. A buyer comparing CTSI with Polygon assets can review the Cryptnox hardware wallet for Polygon page for that separate network route. Ronin has its own asset path as well, covered on the Cryptnox hardware wallet for Ronin page.

CTSI should not be set up like Bitcoin, because Bitcoin does not use an Ethereum ERC-20 contract. If your portfolio includes Bitcoin alongside CTSI, the Cryptnox hardware wallet for Bitcoin page covers that separate model. The CTSI rule is to choose Ethereum, add the CTSI token contract, and use the card-controlled 0x address as the account that holds the token.

Why the Dual-Card Set fits CTSI buyers

A CTSI buyer needs a wallet that protects an Ethereum private key, lets the CTSI ERC-20 token be added accurately, and gives the same Ethereum account a practical backup. Cryptnox matches that CTSI route with a Swiss-engineered smart-card design, secure-element key generation, and a second card created as the backup during initialisation.

The card format is also useful for CTSI because ERC-20 management often happens from a phone, a reader-based setup, WalletConnect, or MetaMask. The Cryptnox card can be tapped to a phone or inserted into a reader, and CTSI remains tied to the Ethereum account controlled by the secure element.

CTSI buyer fit

  • You want CTSI held as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum.
  • You are comfortable adding CTSI once with the token contract.
  • You want the Ethereum private key generated inside the secure element.
  • You want the second card to serve as the backup for the same account setup.
  • You use iOS, Android, WalletConnect, or MetaMask for Ethereum workflows.

If your main requirement is a Cartesi wallet for the CTSI ERC-20 token, start with the Dual-Card Set, add Ethereum if needed, and enter the CTSI contract under Add a Token. If your portfolio also includes TRON, the Cryptnox hardware wallet for TRON page covers that separate route.

Frequently asked questions

Is CTSI already enabled on the Cryptnox cards?

No. CTSI is not pre-programmed on the cards. Add it once as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum. If Ethereum is not already available in your setup, use Add a Network for Ethereum, then use Add a Token with contract 0x491604c0FDF08347Dd1fa4Ee062a822A5DD06B5D.

What address format does CTSI use on Cryptnox?

CTSI on Cryptnox uses the Ethereum route, so the wallet address is a 0x-prefixed 20-byte EVM address. That address is the Ethereum account controlled by the card. The CTSI contract address is a separate value used only when adding the ERC-20 token.

Which CTSI contract address should I add?

Use the Ethereum ERC-20 contract 0x491604c0FDF08347Dd1fa4Ee062a822A5DD06B5D. Enter it when adding CTSI as a token. Do not use the token contract as your receiving address; your receiving address is the 0x-prefixed Ethereum account controlled by the Cryptnox card.

How does the backup work for a CTSI account?

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 Ethereum account that can hold CTSI. Normal setup does not require writing down recovery words.

Do the private keys leave the card when CTSI is managed?

No. For CTSI, the Ethereum private key for the 0x address is generated inside the secure element and never leaves it. Adding the CTSI token contract, using WalletConnect, or working with MetaMask does not export that private key from the card.

Can I use CTSI with WalletConnect or MetaMask?

Yes. The free Cryptnox app on iOS and Android connects to Web3 through WalletConnect and works with MetaMask. CTSI still needs to be added as an Ethereum ERC-20 token with the correct contract address before it appears through that route.

Does the Cryptnox card have its own biometric sensor?

No. When you use the app for a CTSI-related Ethereum account, unlock can use the phone’s biometrics through the Cryptnox app. The card itself has no biometric sensor, and the CTSI-holding account is protected by the secure element and the Dual-Card Set backup design.

Is the Cryptnox wallet an HD wallet with a new receive address for each transaction?

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.

Does Cryptnox ship worldwide, and will I pay import duties?

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.
