Release status and ClearSign

Reviewed 2026-10-23. This page is generated from the versioned feature register; every release status on it is read live from GitHub releases  (drafts are never shown). Working software, candidate test evidence and a publicly signed release are different states.

Current releases

  • KeepKey firmware: v7.14.2 (2026-10-16) · newer Pre-release: v7.16.0 (2026-10-28) · Bitcoin-only build: v7.14.3 (2026-10-16)
  • KeepKey Desktop: v1.6.7 (2026-10-28) · newer Pre-release: v1.6.10 (2026-11-05)

Release program

7.14.2 — Signing hardening

GitHub status: Latest release: v7.14.2 (2026-10-16). 7.14.2 is the signing-hardening firmware release. What changed and who it affects: Firmware 7.14.2.

Treat a version as published only when GitHub shows it as a full release with its signed artifact and changelog.

Evidence: source 1  · source 2  · source 3 

7.14.3 — Bitcoin-only product

GitHub status: Bitcoin-only build · Released: v7.14.3 (2026-10-16). 7.14.3 is the Bitcoin-only firmware build; its release carries only the Bitcoin-only image.

Verify actual artifact flags, variant identity, excluded operations and migration behavior.

Evidence: source 1  · source 2  · source 3 

7.15 — Additive provider context

GitHub status: Not published on GitHub (releases). The 7.15 provider contract ships as part of 7.16 (owner, 2026-10-26), not as a separate release. It adds interpretation while retaining baseline review; runtime identities are session-scoped.

Do not infer completed acceptance from alpha source or a report with the relevant section withheld.

7.16 — KeepKey-approved ClearSign

GitHub status: Pre-release: v7.16.0 (2026-10-28). 7.16 delivers KeepKey-approved interpretation: certified authority, context binding and coverage requirements. It is in final QA (owner, 2026-10-26).

Production roots, final validity/revocation model and exact-candidate evidence must support public availability claims.

Evidence: source 1 

Verify before approving

KeepKey approval authenticates the authority behind supported descriptions. It is not a guarantee that a contract is safe, an investment is sound, or a transaction will succeed. Runtime provider context remains distinct from certified authority. Coverage, fallback and refusal behavior depend on the exact firmware, Vault/SDK and metadata versions.

What we are working toward

  • Understand crypto: Explain keys, addresses, networks, fees and approvals without assumed expertise.
  • Set up with confidence: Help a new owner install, create or recover a wallet, verify a backup and make a first receive.
  • Use a KeepKey day to day: Make receive, send, swap, portfolio and dApp decisions understandable and verifiable.
  • Resolve problems safely: Provide a direct path for connection issues, interrupted updates, missing assets and recovery questions.
  • Earn informed trust: Explain security controls, limitations, provenance and product availability with evidence.
  • Enable integrations: Give developers coherent setup, authentication, protocol and API references.
  • Make knowledge easy to find: Connect beginner explanations, task guides, technical references and articles; keep search and AI indexes current.
  • Keep the public story current: Use one reviewed feature register and accountable updates across docs, articles and company surfaces.

These are goals, not claims of completed certification or an independently established security ranking.
