What is the Ellipal Titan cold wallet?

The ELLIPAL Titan is a cold wallet, a device that keeps your private keys offline. The current model, the Titan 2.0, is built around a camera and a color touchscreen rather than a cable, and it pairs with the ELLIPAL app on your phone. ELLIPAL also sells the smaller Titan Mini, and still supports the original Titan (model EC02).

How does the Ellipal air-gapped design work?

ELLIPAL says the Titan 2.0 has no Wi-Fi, no Bluetooth and no USB data path. Setting up a wallet and signing transactions both happen on the device without any connection. This is the same approach described in our guide to air-gapped wallets.

The body is a sealed metal case. According to ELLIPAL's specifications, forcing the device open triggers an automatic wipe of stored keys, which is meant to guard against physical tampering and supply chain attacks. The company also lists a secure chip certified to Common Criteria EAL5+. The device creates a standard 24-word BIP39 seed phrase, can restore from 12 to 24 words, and supports an optional passphrase, so the phrase can be used in other BIP39 wallets.

How does the Ellipal app work with the Titan 2.0?

The ELLIPAL app is the online half of the setup. It shows balances and builds transactions, but it never holds the private key. Sending crypto takes two QR scans.

First, the app creates the transaction and shows an unsigned QR code. On the Titan you choose the network, tap Sign, enter your device password and scan that code. The Titan shows the recipient address and amount for you to check, then displays a signed QR code. You scan it back with the app, which broadcasts the transaction to the blockchain. ELLIPAL's support pages stress checking the details on the Titan screen before confirming.

As of November 2026, ELLIPAL says the Titan 2.0 supports more than 45 blockchains and 10,000 tokens, plus NFTs on Ethereum and Polygon. It can also connect to MetaMask and to dapps through WalletConnect.

How do you update the Ellipal Titan firmware?

Because the device has no USB data or internet connection, updates arrive on a microSD card. You check your model and version under Settings, download the matching ZIP file onto a FAT32 card without unzipping or renaming it, and insert the card into the charging adapter. With the Titan powered off and placed on the adapter, you open Settings, then Update, and start the install.

ELLIPAL says the process takes about five minutes on the Titan 2.0 and Titan Mini, and about ten on the older Titan. Files for each model are different and cannot be swapped. ELLIPAL states that a failed update does not affect wallet data or private keys. If you want to compare this kind of device with phone wallets, read hot wallet vs cold wallet.
