About GridPlus
GridPlus makes the Lattice1, a desktop signing terminal with a 5-inch touchscreen. Private keys live in a secure element inside a CLDS tamper-detection mesh and are derived from a PUF, with signing and screen rendering handled inside a separate secure computing environment while the networked general compute module can only submit requests through a secure mailbox; firmware decodes ABI data so transactions appear in readable form instead of being blind-signed. SafeCards are PIN-protected smartcards holding a full seed that restore on any Lattice1, so one device manages an unlimited number of accounts.
It leans toward heavy DeFi users among self-custody wallets, dividing work with keypad-driven devices from Ledger and Trezor: those are portable and offline, while the Lattice1 trades mobility for readable transaction data and multi-account management, signing through MetaMask, Rabby and Frame. The device is online over Wi-Fi and Ethernet, requests relay through vendor infrastructure unless a self-hosted endpoint is configured, and the secure element firmware is closed source while published audits cover the main firmware.
GridPlus was founded in 2017 by Alex Miller, Karl Kreder, and Mark D'Agostino, initially spinning out of ConsenSys to apply blockchain to energy markets. In October 2017, it raised $2.7 million in late-stage VC funding. The company pivoted to hardware wallets, launching the Lattice1 in December 2020, featuring a tamper-resistant design, wireless connectivity, and SafeCard backups. In May 2023, GridPlus announced it would open-source its wallet firmware, a significant move for transparency and security in the cold storage industry. These milestones highlight its evolution from energy tech to a security-focused hardware wallet provider.
Over the past six months, GridPlus's progress has centered on deepening EIP-7702 integration with Ambire Wallet. On June 23, Ambire added an ABI calldata decoder for the GridPlus Lattice1: before signing, it fetches ABI data from block explorers and passes it to the device as a decoder buffer, letting Lattice1 firmware display function names and decoded parameters instead of raw calldata. The same batch of Ambire updates also included ERC-7730 clear signing, per-app account scoping, and Safe EIP-712 hash preview, all pointing toward clearer and safer signing (tweetlook.com).
These moves extend the direction GridPlus set in early 2026: using EIP-7702 as the base standard to give hardware wallets smart-account capabilities—transaction batching, the Gas Tank, and limited token approvals—while keys stay on device. GridPlus was the first major hardware-wallet vendor to ship production EIP-7702 support, with Lattice firmware v0.18.9 and Ambire Wallet (blog.ambire.com); June's ABI decoding and clear-signing updates are a progression from that foundation rather than isolated additions. The overall cadence is integration-led: expanding usable scenarios through wallet/ecosystem partnerships instead of standalone product launches.
