Price Summary
WARNING This kit definitely contains dangerous things. While our chip implants have undergone several quality checks during manufacture and have been put through a battery of tests, nothing has been certified by any government regulatory agency for implantation or use inside the human body. Your personal decision to purchase and ultimately the safe use of these devices is strictly your responsibility and at your own risk.
The biopolymer is ISO 10993 and USP Class VI tested and certified, however the final product has not been tested post-processing, meaning material changes during processing could render the final product unsafe in some way.
There is no "preferred" location for installation of a flex device. Customers are free to install a flex into any area of the body their installation professional is comfortable with, as long as it is in the fascia layer between dermis and muscle tissue and not in an area of flexion or under a gripping surface. Even though we use images which suggest installation above the second metacarpal of one of the fingers, it is not an ideal location for such a device. Fingers are filled with tendons, nerve bundles, and very important things all packed into a very tight space. We urge you to think about easier locations like the back of the hand or in the arm/wrist.
The flexSecure is an open-platform Java Card implant in a narrow 8mm × 28mm flex form factor. Unlike the VivoKey Apex which is vendor-locked to the Fidesmo applet platform, the flexSecure runs open-source applets that you install yourself — giving you full control over what runs on your implant. Available applets include FIDO2 authentication, SmartPGP for encryption and signing, SatoChip/Satodime/SeedKeeper for cryptocurrency, NDEF for NFC data sharing, and more from the DangerousThings flexSecure applets repo.
- FIDO2 — passwordless authentication and second factor for websites and services
- SmartPGP — PGP encryption, signing, and authentication with on-chip key generation
- SatoChip / Satodime / SeedKeeper — cryptocurrency hardware wallet applets
- NDEF — store and share URLs, vCards, or other data with NFC smartphones
- Keycard — Status/Keycard wallet integration
- Open platform — install applets yourself, no vendor lock-in
- No Tesla keycard support — that requires the Fidesmo platform on the Apex Flex
- No VivoKey OTP authenticator — the VivoKey OTP applet is Fidesmo-exclusive
- Can't make payments with this chip implant
- Chip implants can't be used for GPS or tracking
Your flexSecure kit comes with the following items.
- flexSecure implant sealed in tyvek pouch and gas plasma sterilized
- Custom 4G (5mm) flex installation needle (unlubricated)
- 1 packet of sterile surgical needle lubricant
flexSecure vs Apex Flex — which should I choose?
- flexSecure: Open platform, install your own applets, no vendor lock-in. Best for developers, tinkerers, and those who want full control.
- Apex Flex: Fidesmo vendor platform with curated applets including Tesla keycard, VivoKey OTP, and NFC Share. Best for users who want a managed experience.
