help Archos Safe-T mini FAQ
How does the Archos Safe-T mini protect private keys?
Archos describes a six-digit PIN, encrypted chipset memory, and on-device crypto operations for offline protection. It is a hardware wallet, so the private keys are meant to stay on the device while transactions are approved through its interface.

Which cryptocurrencies did the Safe-T mini support?
Archos's December 2020 specification listed Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Gold, Dash, Ether, Ether Classic, Litecoin, and ERC20 tokens, and claimed coverage of 75% of total crypto market capitalization at that time. Support can depend on firmware and wallet software, so treat that list as a dated specification rather than a current guarantee.

Is the Archos Safe-T mini based on Trezor technology?
Yes, Archos says its open-source software was based on Trezor development, and the public Safe-T mini firmware repository describes it as Trezor-compatible. That describes the software heritage, not identical hardware or support. [Safe-T mini firmware repository](https://github.com/archos-safe-t/safe-t-mcu)
Does the Safe-T mini really use a microSD card for key storage?
The Archos release describes encrypted chipset memory and a companion web app, but it does not mention microSD storage. The microSD claim in this catalog record should therefore be verified against the exact hardware revision before purchase.
