In May 2025, CNF confirmed that IOTA had partnered with Keystone to create a secure, open-source cold wallet integration, aiming to strengthen protection in private key management.
Keystone and IOTA Push Security Standards
Keystone, rivaling established names such as Ledger, is known for its air-gapped approach, requiring no USB or Bluetooth connections. Transactions are completed through QR codes only, eliminating several common attack routes.
Its fully open-source design provides transparency, a point where Ledger has faced criticism. Concerns over backdoor access increased when Ledger’s CEO admitted the possibility of private key shard exposure under legal pressure. Keystone has emphasized zero backdoor potential, ensuring that control remains entirely with the user.
Through this collaboration, IOTA users will gain stronger protection for their digital assets, with Keystone helping address long-standing worries about custody and safety in the crypto sector.
Firmware Release Strengthens Integration
Additionally, Keystone has released Firmware V-2.2.0 on July 16, 2025. This version allows full integration with the Nightly multi-chain wallet. It enables IOTA users to manage tokens with hardware security while enjoying a more user-friendly interface.
The IOTA Foundation commented on the release, adding:
IOTA security just hit god mode. KeystoneWallet V-2.2.0 + Nightly_app brings true self-custody to the next level.
With this update, holders gain a balanced mix of safety and accessibility, relying on Keystone’s cold wallet model while operating through Nightly’s interface.
Currently, IOTA’s token is valued at $0.1844, reflecting a decline of 4.78% in the last 24 hours. However, analyst “Man of Bitcoin” points to potential recovery signals if resistance levels are breached.
He noted that a breakout above $0.274, which is the high of Elliott Wave pattern structures of wave 1, can confirm a bull trend. If obtained, the next resistance levels are at $0.53 and $1.36, indicating a possible larger upward wave.
