how can we help?

Arculus is excited to announce an updated firmware release which includes support for several new cryptocurrencies: ADA, SOL, XLM, HBAR, DOGE, LTC, stETH, TON, LDO, LEO, and WETH with additional currencies and capabilities to follow. In order to get the firmware that supports these additional cryptocurrencies, you’ll need a new edition of the Arculus Card. Eligible customers can get new edition cards at no cost. 

The new edition Arculus cards also feature a new design to help distinguish it from earlier card editions.

First Edition Card

New Edition Card

Is this upgrade mandatory?

No - this is an optional upgrade. If you choose not to upgrade, your existing Arculus card will continue to function exactly as it does currently, but you will not see the new currencies in your app experience. The no-cost upgrade program will close on August 31, 2023.

Who is eligible?

How do I set up my new Arculus Card?

Before you begin, make sure you have your 12-word recovery phrase for your Arculus Cold Storage Wallet.

1. Open your Arculus Wallet app using your original card
2. Tap the Settings "gear icon" and select "Upgrade with New Card" from the bottom of the Settings menu.
3. Hold your new Arculus Card to the back of your phone when prompted.
4. Set and confirm your PIN for your new card (Note: choose any six-digit PIN you'd like - this can be the same as or different from the PIN on your previous Arculus card. We recommend writing your PIN down and storing in a safe place)
5. Restore your wallet using your 12-word recovery phrase

Once your Arculus Cold Storage Wallet is set up on your new card, your assets will sync with the respective blockchains and display your balance and transaction history. Please note that the blockchain sync may take a few minutes. You will also be able to add the newly supported cryptocurrencies from "Add/Remove assets."

Arculus currently supports sending and viewing Ethereum ERC721 and ERC1155 NFTs in the gallery.  

Using the Arculus Cold Storage Wallet in conjunction with WalletConnect, you can connect to DApps such as NFT marketplaces. Once connected, you can purchase an Ethereum NFT on a marketplace (OpenSea or Rarify, for example), and a sign request will be displayed in the Arculus wallet. You’ll need your PIN-code and the Arculus Card to authenticate in order to securely complete the transaction.
