360LOCK is a unique smart electronic lock, manufactured with robust hardware that is shock, dust and water resistant; its connectivity is guaranteed by RFID / Bluetooth technology, it is modular and rechargeable simply through a micro USB cable.

360LOCK is provided with a rechargeable battery enhanced by an energy saving system that allows users to activate and deactivate the lock ensuring a long cell life. With its robust structure, the padlock can be opened via an RFID bracelet or via Bluetooth connectivity, from a personal smartphone or smartwatch device.

360LOCK’s high security anti-hacking protocol was developed by 4storm in collaboration with the Department of Information Technology from the University of Camerino, it also uses a Blockchain specifically developed certification model which further guarantees the security of all the devices operational performances.

The padlock is equipped with modular accessories, including a chain with folding steel rods for bikes and motorcycles and an additional case that transforms it into a portable safe shielded from radio waves, which can comfortably hold ATM cards, keys, mobile phones and documents.

360LOCK was introduced to the market through a crowdfunding campaign on the Kickstarter platform.
The campaign successfully closed gathering a 238% of the initial requested funds thanks largely to a crowd of young sportsmen (surfers, bikers, runners, etc) who immediately recognized the value and usefulness of the product.

:: November 2018
After the initial phase of interchanging ideas and solutions with manufacturing and commercial partners, the 360LOCK has finally reached the production stage. The first batch will be ready by the end of November 2018.
Before proceeding with the final shipping a sample of padlocks from the first batch will be carefully tested in order to check for any possible problems or manufacturing faults.
The new Android app in which existing bugs have been fixed has been released. The iOS app will follow in just a few weeks.
While the request for the italian patent has successfully passed the initial phase and is now waiting for final approval, the international patent (PCT) has also been requested.

:: January 2019 - State of the art
Imminent release of the official smart contract on ethereum for the certification of the opening and closing operations of the smart lock.
Continue to imagine up and design new accessories ( eg. Wall inserted safe vaults of varying sizes. ) to develop the possibility of personalization (eg. Laser incided logos on cases) and also to implement new features relative to the security ( eg. Sim enabled alarm system)
Last but not least, a new and gilded pre-sale offer has just been launched on Indiegogo.
