Registered office: Office 7, 76 Placeholder-gil, Guro-gu, Seoul 00000
Our History
Page Maple Path began in 2019 when two former bank vault technicians in Seoul noticed a gap in how cryptocurrency holders maintained their physical cold storage devices. Banks had rigorous inspection schedules for safety deposit contents; hardware wallet owners had nothing comparable.
We opened a small assessment office in Guro-gu and began offering quarterly condition reviews modelled on the inspection protocols we knew from institutional storage — documented, repeatable, and focused on physical integrity rather than market movements.
By 2021, our client roster had grown to include family offices, independent holders, and several Seoul-based mining operations that stored signing keys offline. We expanded from a single assessor to a team of four, each trained on major device families including Ledger, Trezor, Coldcard, and Keystone.
Today we conduct roughly 200 assessments per quarter from our current office, maintaining a paper and digital archive of condition reports that clients can reference when updating devices or planning succession arrangements.
Our Approach
We treat hardware wallets as physical objects subject to wear, environmental damage, and human error — not as abstract financial instruments. Every assessment follows the same documented protocol regardless of how much value a client holds. We never ask to see seed phrases, we never connect devices to live networks during signing tests, and we never provide investment or trading guidance.
The Team
Jae-won Kim — Lead Assessor. Former vault technician with twelve years of physical security inspection experience. Certified on Ledger and Trezor device families.
Eun-hye Park — Assessment Coordinator. Manages scheduling, report delivery, and client record continuity across quarterly visits.
Min-soo Choi — Junior Assessor. Specialises in Coldcard and air-gapped signing device examinations.
Hana Yoon — Office Manager. Handles intake, storage environment consultations, and correspondence.
Values
Documentation over assumption. Every visit produces a written record you can reference years later.
Physical focus. We examine what we can see and measure — not what markets are doing.
Client privacy. Your holdings, seed phrases, and transaction history remain yours alone.
Community
We contribute field notes to our journal and occasionally host small group sessions for new hardware wallet owners who want to understand assessment basics before their first visit. These sessions are listed on our contact page when scheduled.
