Read this first — it will look wrong otherwise
SHIBkeystick is the same device as KŌINIkeystick, running the same boot image, byte for byte. When you boot it, the screen says KŌINIkeystick, and the fingerprint you check is the KŌINIkeystick fingerprint.
That is deliberate, and it is the assurance rather than a defect. One image means one audit, one published hash, and one artifact to verify. Separately branded images would mean several times the surface and a fraction of the assurance.
The address the ceremony shows as EVM is your Shibarium address. It is also your address on Ethereum and on every EVM chain, because they are the same address. One key, one backup, everywhere.
01
Your stick arrives in a tamper-evident bag. If the seal is broken or looks re-applied, don’t use it — contact us for a replacement. The seal deters casual tampering; it is not the proof.
02
The stick’s entire contents can be fingerprinted with SHA-256 and compared against the official fingerprint published below. If even one byte were altered, the fingerprints would not match. This defeats any tampering — a counterfeit stick, a swapped image, an intercepted shipment — by anyone in the supply chain, including us. Publishing the fingerprint reveals nothing about our code: it is a one-way fingerprint, not a blueprint.
03
The entropy path — the code that creates your randomness — is reviewed by an independent security firm before we ship, and the attestation is published here. The hash proves your stick is authentically ours; the review proves ours is sound.
KŌINIkeystick v1.0 · sha256 · PUBLISHED AT LAUNCH
[ RELEASE HASH WILL BE PUBLISHED HERE AND SIGNED — SPECIMEN PAGE ]
To check your stick: on any computer, run a SHA-256 over the stick’s image and compare every character against the published value. Full plain-English instructions for Windows, macOS and Linux ship on your card and go live on this page at launch.
Fingerprints are always displayed in full. Anyone who shows you a truncated hash is asking you to trust the part you can’t see. Releases are also cryptographically signed, so you can confirm the fingerprint itself genuinely came from KŌINI.
SHIBkeystick is a commercial product, not an open-source project. Keeping the operating system closed means no one can clone it, counterfeit it convincingly, or ship a tampered fork under our name.
You don’t need the source to trust the stick — you need proof the stick is genuine and proof the generator is sound, and you have both: the published hash confirms authenticity, the independent review confirms correctness, the seal confirms it reached you untouched. Guard your stick like the tool it is; if it is ever lost or the seal is broken, replace it.
Read-only edition note
The write-protect switch on the read-only edition ships in the locked position, set after our verification. The switch means no computer can ever alter the stick’s contents — but verify the hash anyway. That is the whole ethos: check, don’t trust.
