<p>Today we’re releasing ECOIN Wallet 1.8.7 — one of the most important structural updates we’ve shipped so far.</p>
<p>While this version includes multiple improvements, fixes, and internal optimizations, its biggest purpose happens behind the scenes:</p>
<p>laying the foundation for the future Ecoin Hardware Wallet ecosystem.</p>
<p>Over the past months, we’ve been redesigning core parts of the wallet architecture with a strong focus on security, encrypted device operations, and the expansion of ECOIN Wallet beyond software into real physical secure-wallet devices.</p>
<p>This marks the beginning of ECOIN Wallet entering the next generation of self-custody alongside established hardware wallet solutions such as <strong>Ledger</strong>.</p>
<p>Most of these changes still remain invisible to users for now — and that’s intentional. However, some early traces are already visible inside the app, including the new wallet startup flow that quietly previews the upcoming Hardware Wallet integration.</p>

<p>This update brings new infrastructure related to wallet initialization, encrypted storage, authentication flows, secure device communication, and future wallet-type management.</p>
<p>Beyond the app itself, we’re also preparing the operational side for the next phase, including infrastructure, onboarding systems, logistics, and future distribution planning.</p>
<p>Most of this work happens entirely behind the scenes, but it represents one of the largest architectural upgrades ever made inside ECOIN Wallet.</p>
<p>Security first. Always.</p>
