4.1/5 3.7/5 · Data verified on

Ellipal Titan is a hardware wallet built for maximum physical resistance: a fully sealed all-metal body, completely air-gapped (no data USB port, no Bluetooth, WiFi or NFC). All transactions are signed via QR code using the camera, and the device has an anti-tamper mechanism that wipes the keys (self-destruct) if it detects forced opening. The Titan 2.0 model (≈€146, $169) has a 4" touchscreen, an EAL5+ secure element and supports 10,000+ assets across 50+ blockchains via the ELLIPAL app.

Plans & pricing

Strengths

  • Fully air-gapped (QR only, no data port); sealed metal body with self-destruct anti-tamper; 4" touchscreen; 10,000+ supported assets.
  • Self-custody: funds stay in your wallet — the platform cannot touch them.
  • No KYC: usable without identity verification.
  • Self-hostable: you can run your own instance or node.

Weaknesses

  • Firmware and secure element are not open-source; pricier than other air-gapped options like the SafePal S1; the ELLIPAL app is proprietary and central to the workflow.
  • Closed source: no way to verify what it does with wallet and data.

Verdict

A B ★ 4.1/5 ★ 3.7/5

Score 4.1/5, very strong profile. In its favour: fully air-gapped (QR only, no data port); sealed metal body with self-destruct anti-tamper; 4" touchscreen; 10,000+ supported assets. The trade-off to weigh: firmware and secure element are not open-source; pricier than other air-gapped options like the SafePal S1; the ELLIPAL app is proprietary and central to the workflow.

On the Sovereignty lens the score is 3.7/5 (solid): the strength is fund control (5.0/5), while trustless / auditability (0.0/5) is the weak link.

FAQ

How much does the Ellipal Titan 2.0 cost?

The Ellipal Titan 2.0 costs $169 on the official store, about €146 at European resellers. Bundles (e.g. with a steel seed backup) are available at a higher price.

What does it mean that the Ellipal Titan is air-gapped?

It means the device never connects to the internet or a computer: it has no data USB port, Bluetooth, WiFi or NFC. It communicates with the app only by scanning QR codes via the camera, fully removing cable and wireless attack vectors.

What is Ellipal's anti-tamper mechanism?

The metal body is sealed and houses a sensor that, if it detects a forced opening of the device, triggers a self-destruct mechanism wiping the private keys, preventing a physical attacker from extracting them.
