SafeStart — Hardware Wallet Setup

A friendly, secure walkthrough to get your hardware wallet ready — simple steps, strong protection. 🔐

🧭

Welcome! Let’s secure your crypto

Follow the steps below to initialize your device, create a safe backup, and connect to supported wallets. No rush — we guide you through each important safety check. ✨

Best-in-class security

Hardware isolation + PIN-protected firmware reduce online attack surface. Your private keys never leave the device.

Open & auditable

Designed to be transparent — firmware and procedures are documented for community review and reproducibility.

Multi-coin support

Works with major cryptocurrencies and many tokens through trusted wallet apps.

Recovery-first

Clear guidance on writing down your recovery phrase and storing it safely — the ultimate insurance for lost devices.

1

Unbox and inspect ✅

Check the tamper-evident seal (if provided). Only proceed if packaging looks intact and genuine.

2

Connect & power up 🔌

Use the supplied cable or a known-good cable. Don’t use unknown adapters that might tamper with data lines.

3

Install official companion app 🧩

Download the official setup app from the vendor’s site or a trusted app store. Verify the URL or store listing carefully.

4

Create PIN & recovery phrase ✍️

Choose a PIN you won’t forget. Write the recovery words on paper or metal backup — never digital copy.

5

Verify & transact safely 🛡️

Always verify details on the device screen before approving transactions. The device is the root of trust.

Note: If you ever suspect your recovery phrase was exposed, create a new wallet and move funds immediately. Keep backups in multiple secure locations.
