Case Study: Leading fashion tech startup achieves world’s first fingerprint- and Bluetooth-enabled smart wallet with [x]cube LABS

IoT-enabled wallet with fingerprint access and mobile connectivity

A leading fashion‑tech startup engaged [x]cube LABS to realize its vision for the world’s first smart wallet. The company needed more than a fingerprint sensor — it required tight hardware‑to‑app integration and robust native engineering to solve the common pain of lost or stolen wallets, with challenges spanning BLE connectivity, GPS, an electronic latch, a buzzer and a seamless mobile UX.

[x]cube built and refined the native app and firmware integration, enabling Bluetooth pairing, fingerprint enrollment, crowd‑sourced GPS, an electronic latch, buzzer find‑my‑wallet feature and a long‑life rechargeable battery while keeping the UI simple. The product launched to strong media and industry attention and was widely covered by top tech outlets as a breakthrough in tech‑enabled fashion.
