KeepKey, known as the creator of one of the most secure hardware wallet cryptocurrencies, recently announced an integration with Dash, as some of you will know as one of the major player alternatives to bitcoin.

The partnership has a couple of effects on users and investors alike, such as being able to store their Dash on the KeepKey device-keeping their precious data away from the hands of hackers.

In addition, through the usage of the inbuilt ShapeShift function, swap between cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin, ethereum, namecoin, litecoin and dogecoin.

At the present time, Dash remains at number seven on the most valuable digital asset list with a market capitalization of over $120 million USD, and it is in very high demand. This is especially true when it comes to its real world use cases, its effective governance model, and well as its InstandSend transaction abilities. Numbers doubled from September and October to November and December and is now in the opening quarter of 2017, averaging nearly $2 million USD every day.

CEO of KeepKey Darin Stanchfield commented on the partnership, “Partnering with Dash is the natural next step for KeepKey since our wallet is purely focused on security, mobility and convenience; attributes that Dash shares. KeepKey protects digital assets from hackers by limiting their exposure to the internet. With this integration, we are extending our utility, and adding one more asset users can transfer to or from directly on our device.”

Dash Director of Finance Ryan Taylor said, “As the ecosystem of services integrated with Dash continues to grow and mature, solutions to ensure user funds are stored as securely as possible is more important than ever. Because of Dash’s unique capabilities and the announcement and execution of our software upgrade, we’ve experienced triple digit price appreciation, so many of our users will love having this option available to secure the growing value of their Dash.

“We partnered with KeepKey because we aim to create the best overall experience for our users. The peace of mind and convenience that KeepKey can provide makes them a valuable addition to our family of partners. Their products also align well with our belief that the user experience should be a focus.”

The beta release indicates KeepKey users will be able to receive, store and send Dash on their device.

“We like to listen to the community and implement new technology in response to community requests and feedback. While hacks in today’s global information age are pervasive, and so too is the rise of cryptocurrency, more and more people are investing in a digital vault for their valuable cryptocurrencies. Crypto assets vary in their characteristics, and attract the use of different audiences for different reasons. One thing we are certain of though is the trend for investing and holding multiple types of assets is becoming increasingly popular and KeepKey helps makes this both simpler and safer,” Stanchfield said.
