COZ is gearing up to present OneBand, its latest innovation featuring a secure hardware signing architecture at Consensus 2023, one of the biggest and most prestigious blockchain and crypto-themed events in the world. This technology is designed to be portable, low-cost, environmentally and tamper-resistant, and chain-agnostic, with significant technology roll-out on Neo N3.
Short Teaser
COZ is a respected software development group specializing in blockchain and distributed technologies. The COZ team has been working hard on designing a hardware signing architecture that can be used in current and future product offerings. The technology is similar to a hardware wallet, but no one has access to the private key. OneBand is a physical ring that is cryptographically bound to an NFT, allowing users to sign transactions securely. Its open-source hardware has enormous potential for use in various industries, including gaming, brand activations, POAP, financial transactions, verifications, and more.
Cutting-Edge Technology
OneBand is portable, low cost, environmentally and tamper-resistant, manufacturable at volume, chain agnostic, and designed to be open hardware and open source from the start.
OneBand has a secure NFC chip that allows the ring to cryptographically assert its authenticity across the entire web3 market segment. The technology behind the ring offers many possibilities, such as in-game items that can only be used with the physical object or leveling up your character by joining real-world events. Additionally, OneBand offers an innovative way to secure collectibles and luxury items against forgery or theft.
The Debut
At Consensus 2023, which will be held in Austin, TX, COZ will demonstrate OneBand's capabilities by inviting attendees to collect their own ring and interact with the nine ecosystem projects pods within the Neo booth.
The activation is simple, yet powerful and entertaining - OneBand holders will be able to tap-scan their ring to acquire new traits on their LIZARD NFT, a commemorative Texas Horned LIZARD NFT. This illustrates the power of bridging a cryptographically bound physical asset into the digital world.
The MainNet-based interaction is a unique and exciting opportunity for attendees to experience blockchain technology's potential. Each OneBand comes bundled with a DevKit, enabling developers to instantly start creating projects using this innovative technology.
