Get started with a secure hardware wallet — made simple
Learn the fundamentals of hardware wallet security, discover step-by-step setup instructions, and follow best practices to keep your digital assets safe. This educational demo is responsive and built with accessibility in mind.
Trusted design
Open-source firmware, verified signing, and isolated key storage — learn why hardware wallets add a critical security layer.
How it works
1 — Initialize
Power on the device, choose a PIN, and write down your recovery phrase. Keep this phrase offline and in a safe place.
2 — Connect
Connect the device to your computer or mobile and confirm transactions directly on the device for maximum security.
3 — Verify
Verify the receiving address on the device screen before sending funds — never trust addresses provided by the host machine alone.
Key features
Isolated key storage
Private keys never leave the device; signatures happen inside the secure element.
Recovery & backups
Industry-standard BIP39/SLIP39 recovery options allow safe backup and recovery procedures.
Open-source
Firmware and tooling are open for audit — transparency builds trust.
Start: Step-by-step
Verify tamper-evidence and ensure packaging is intact before powering the device.
Choose a strong PIN and write down your recovery phrase on multiple backup media.
Send a small test transaction and confirm details on the device screen.
Learning center & resources
Best practices
Physical security, backups, and safe software practices to minimize risk.
Glossary
Seed, mnemonic, derivation path, and other terms explained for beginners.
Advanced topics

FAQ
Yes — using your recovery phrase you can restore keys onto a compatible device or software that supports the same derivation standards.
Open-source firmware allows independent security reviews. Always verify firmware signatures from the vendor.
If your PIN is compromised, restore your seed to a new device and choose a new PIN. Consider using a passphrase for additional protection.
Follow vendor instructions carefully and verify the cryptographic signature of firmware updates before applying.
