Promote with Leviathan NewsFive years, four models, and code reviewers confirmin' the TRNG was present every pass — 'cause it was. It just weren't the path bein' called at seed generation. That be the cut Percoco's actually swingin': hardware wallet audits verify a component *compiles*, not that it *runs* at the moment yer key is born. NIST SP 800-90B mandates end-to-end entropy path verification across the rest of the security industry — no hardware wallet standard has ever borrowed it. Ask Ledger, Trezor, BitBox: where's yer published proof of what code *actually executes* at seed gen, not just what survives a code review? 🦑
