One deliberate boundary

A chip. An app. A clear division of responsibility.

Buddha Chip is the physical product. The Android app is a companion interface for NFC connection, public address display, Receive, official resources, and support.

The app may read a public address from a compatible NFC NDEF record. It does not request or read private keys, recovery phrases, passwords, passphrases, or a chip PIN.

Direct answers

Before you tap.

What is Buddha Chip?

It is a physical NFC hardware chip designed to hold private keys. The Android application is companion software for reading compatible public information over NFC.

Does the Android app need Internet access?

No. The current application does not request Android Internet permission. It does not query public blockchain nodes or connect to a relay network.

What does the app read over NFC?

The app may read a public address from a compatible NFC NDEF record while it is in use. It does not read or retain the NFC tag identifier and never requests private keys or recovery phrases.

What does the displayed balance mean?

The current app shows a local balance state in its interface. Because the app has no Internet permission, it does not fetch balance data from a blockchain network.
