To prevent the scenario where a rogue employee from Cypherock themselves pushes a malicious software update, unlike other wallets, Cypherock X1 is designed such that the private keys are never permanently stored on upgradable hardware. X1 Vault is an upgradable hardware that stores 1 key shard out of the 5 and the 4 X1 Cards once shipped cannot be upgraded even by Cypherock, which stores the rest of the 4 key shards each. Additionally, Cypherock is open-source and has its software builds reproduced by Wallet Scrutiny to ensure that the firmware running on the hardware is the same as what Cypherock claims in its open-source codebase.

If you forget the PIN you had set over your Cypherock X1, since this is decentralized product, even the Cypherock team cannot recover the assets on behalf of you. If you think you can forget the PIN, it is recommended to back up the PIN somewhere. Backing up a PIN is still 100 times more secure than backing up a seed phrase, since if a malicious person gets access to the seed phrase your assets can be compromised. But if he gets access to the PIN, he will still not be able to compromise the assets without getting access to at least 2 of the 5 components physically.
