Hardware Wallet Setup

Step 1 of 100% Complete

Welcome to Your Hardware Wallet Setup Guide

About This Guide

This page provides a complete walkthrough for setting up your new hardware cryptocurrency wallet. Whether you're securing your digital assets for the first time or migrating from a software wallet, this guide will help you complete the process safely and confidently. A hardware wallet stores your private keys offline, which dramatically reduces the risk of hacking, malware attacks, and unauthorized access.

📋

1. Before You Begin

To begin your hardware wallet setup, make sure you have everything required. Preparing these items ahead of time helps ensure a smooth and secure onboarding experience.

A brand-new, unopened hardware wallet

Always buy from an authorized seller or the official manufacturer. Avoid third-party marketplaces or pre-owned devices.

A computer or smartphone

Use a device you trust. Check that it's free of malware and running current software updates.

A stable internet connection

Avoid public Wi-Fi networks while performing setup.

A pen and safe storage space

You'll need this to write down your recovery seed during initialization.
