Burner is a credit-card-sized NFC hardware wallet designed for gifting, self-custody, and spending crypto without seed phrases. Burner's Twitter Score is 86 out of 1000 (a Good rating) as of August 2026, ranking #8,942 (top 5%) among 483,944 tracked accounts.
Burner was founded by Cameron Robertson as CEO and operates under Arx Research, which built the product using its HaLo secure-element chip technology alongside open-source libraries including libHaLo and libburner. The wallet launches a web-based BurnerOS interface via a smartphone tap, requiring no app installation. Burner initially launched in November 2024 and, according to Arx Research, has since reached more than 30,000 merchants and consumers.
Burner covers two distinct product lines. The Ethereum card supports Ethereum and Base tokens, connects to dapps via WalletConnect, and integrates the 0x Swap API for in-wallet swaps. The Bitcoin variant is a non-custodial Bitcoin-only hardware wallet using the same secure-element technology found in higher-end hardware wallets. Burner also supports stablecoins including USD II, USDC, and USDT, with USD II transfers subsidized so recipients do not need native tokens to cover gas.
Burner Terminal is a handheld point-of-sale device that lets merchants accept stablecoins, crypto, and traditional card payments, priced under $200, with commercial availability planned for early 2026. Flexa added NFC tap-to-pay support for Burner hardware wallets at retail point-of-sale on February 27, 2025. To fund the Terminal and scale the broader ecosystem, Arx Research raised a $6.1 million seed round led by Castle Island Ventures, with participation from Inflection, Placeholder, Seed Club Ventures, and 1kx.
