Kialara Project Celebrates 10 Years of Storing Bitcoin Using Art
When Max Mellenbruch began creating Kialara ten years ago, few people had heard much about bitcoin, let alone crypto art. The idea of a cold-storage wallet to preserve private keys over a long period of time, safeguarding them against physical deterioration, was quite innovative for its time.
Protection & Beauty Preserve Bitcoin Balances
A decade later the concept has gained the admiration of a loyal customer base keen to collect the different aesthetic and conceptual themes developed for each edition. Besides the protection of a meticulously hand-assembled housing of precision-machined SUS304 stainless steel, beauty itself plays the role of preserving the bitcoin balances untouched; turning Kialara into an intriguing piece of contemporary art.
Latest Edition Honors Technologies Behind Bitcoin
The latest edition, Kialara Builders, is a tribute to the technologies that led to the advent of Bitcoin. It is crowned with a shiny chunk of .999 Monocrystalline silicon; perhaps the most important technological material in recent decades. The protagonist is also represented—a little robot made up of mining parts representing miners worldwide who take part in the „race towards block“ on the Bitcoin network.
Upcoming Edition Features Trustless Wallet Model
A forthcoming edition will mark a transition towards a trustless wallet model enabled by self-custodial design. With this release, Kialara is responding to a growing Bitcoin trend as BTC supply held outside centralized exchanges continues to increase.

The ‚Builders‘ edition is available for purchase on the Kialara website now where individuals can also sign up for Kialara’s mailing list and be notified when new editions are released.
