What is BitLox?
Developed by BitLox.com, BitLox is a hardware wallet designed to ensure complete security for Bitcoin storage. The wallet’s exterior case is practically indestructible as it is made out of titanium and aerospace grade alloys.
The wallet features the ability to generate 100 wallets, and you can opt to hide half of them, which can only be unlocked by the number and PIN code you selected.

BitLox Models
BitLox comes in three different models:
BitLox Advanced: The wallet’s exterior case is made out of special aerospace grade alloy. Users are able to create up to 100 wallets, and there is no limit to how many addresses a wallet can hold. The wallet is priced at $98.

System compatibility
BitLox is compatible with devices that run on Windows, iOS, Linux, Mac OS, and Android systems. A Chrome extension is also available for download, which can be connected to BitLox via USB.
Supported cryptocurrencies
BitLox currently only supports Bitcoin, but the company announced that it will be extending its support to Ethereum and other altcoins in the near future.
Security
BitLox complies with BIP32 and BIP39 protocols, which facilitates the implementation of a mnemonic code and facilitates its function as a hierarchical deterministic wallet.
The wallets in hidden mode can only be accessed by a PIN and 4-digit password.
There are three different modes that enable different security features:
- Standard: Auto- generates 4 to 8-digit PINs as well as a 12-word mnemonic.
- Advanced: Allows you to make your own PIN of 60 characters, an 18-word mnemonic backup and you have an additional “anti device-tampering”
- Expert: It has in addition to Advanced a 24-word mnemonic and PIN requirement for each transaction.
You will be required to create an additional PIN for created wallet no matter which mode you choose.
Interface
The platform’s design was not made for novice users. As the wallet features different modes, things can get a little overwhelming for a first time user.

Verdict
BitLox is a Bitcoin hardware wallet which offers top-notch security implementations encased in an extremely sturdy device. But in spite of its advanced features, the wallet comes with a rather high price tag and the user interface is not easy to navigate for newbie users.
Beginner traders are advised to look for a cheaper and less complex alternative.
