A recent Ledger distributor incident has prompted debate over whether hardware wallets should self-destruct when disassembled to prove device authenticity. SlowMist founder Yu Xian said such mechanisms may become necessary after the security concerns, unless alternative methods are developed to verify that devices are genuine factory originals. dForce founder Mindao argued that automatic destruction upon opening would make verification harder because removable designs let users compare circuit diagrams to identify tampering. Ledger publishes a hardware integrity verification guide on its official website, but Mindao said the technical process is too complex for most users to carry out independently.
