Ballet introduced an updated design for the passphrase scratch-off layer on the REAL Series cold storage card in October 2025. This update affects only the scratch-off layer. All other physical security features — including the tamper-evident QR code sticker — remain unchanged.
The upgraded scratch-off layer features a color pattern background consisting of 24 randomly arranged color blocks, replacing the original gray background. This ensures that the scratch-off strip on each card is unique and easily identifiable.
