The Ballet PRO Series represents a powerful and simplified approach to cold storage for cryptocurrency experts and investors. As a non-electronic BIP38-compliant solution, it ensures that your private keys remain entirely offline and secure. The system requires a user-generated passphrase to decrypt the private key, making it a truly personalized cold storage tool that combines security, durability, and ease of use.
Designed specifically for industry professionals, the PRO Series offers a resilient and highly secure method for storing digital assets. By leveraging BIP38’s open-source Bitcoin features, users actively participate in the private key generation process. The customized decryption mechanism ensures that only the user-created passphrase can unlock the wallet. The intermediate code submitted during purchase cannot be reverse-engineered to reveal this passphrase.
Each PRO Series package includes three identical physical backups. These are crafted from premium materials to ensure long-term durability and resistance to environmental damage.
Key Features
User-Defined Encryption
The PRO Series uses a unique encryption method where the private key is only accessible through a passphrase created by the user. Using open-source software, this passphrase is used to generate a BIP38 intermediate code. This code is shared during the order process to produce a custom cold storage device that remains locked until decrypted with the original passphrase.

Triple Backup System
Each PRO Series order includes three identical cards, differentiated only by a suffix (a, b, c) on the serial number. All three units share the same public address, encrypted private key, and BIP38 confirmation code. Storing these in separate locations mitigates risks such as theft, fire, or natural disasters, offering a simple and elegant backup strategy.
Multi-Currency Support
The PRO Series cold storage supports over 100 major cryptocurrencies, including all ERC-20 and BEP-20 tokens. To activate additional currencies, users can download the Ballet Crypto app, scan the QR code on the card, navigate to "Manage," and select "Activate" for the desired currency.
How to Set Up Your PRO Series Wallet
Step 1: Generate Your Intermediate Code
Create a strong, unique passphrase. Using open-source tools in an offline environment, generate a BIP38 intermediate code from this passphrase. It is strongly recommended to perform this step on an air-gapped device to maximize security.
Step 2: Place Your Order
Include the intermediate code in the order notes when purchasing the PRO Series. Ballet will then produce a customized cold storage card containing a public address and an encrypted private key derived from your intermediate code. Decryption is only possible with your original passphrase.

Important Notes
Before depositing funds, verify your PRO Series card using the BIP38 confirmation code and the open-source verification tool. Always perform this validation in a secure, offline setting since it requires entering your passphrase.
Remember: the cold storage card does not store your passphrase. You must remember or securely back up this phrase. Loss of the passphrase will result in permanent loss of access to your assets.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I lose my PRO Series passphrase?
Unfortunately, without the passphrase, you cannot decrypt the private key or access your funds. There is no recovery mechanism, so it is essential to store the passphrase securely and confidentially.
Can I generate the intermediate code on any device?
While you can use any device, it is strongly recommended to use an offline computer to generate the intermediate code. This minimizes the risk of your passphrase being exposed to malware or hackers.
How durable are the PRO Series cold storage cards?
The cards are made from high-quality materials designed for long-term storage. They are resistant to physical wear, water, and fire, making them suitable for storing in various environments.
Is the PRO Series compatible with all cryptocurrencies?
It supports over 100 major cryptocurrencies and all tokens on the ERC-20 and BEP-20 standards. You can activate supported currencies via the Ballet Crypto mobile application.
Can I transfer assets directly from the cold storage?
To move assets, you must decrypt the private key using your passphrase within a secure environment and then sign the transaction using a compatible wallet interface.
How do I verify that my card was set up correctly?
Use the open-source verification tool available on the Ballet website. Enter your passphrase and the confirmation code on the card in an offline setting to ensure everything matches correctly.
