Set up your hardware wallet safely
Follow the guided steps below to initialize a hardware wallet, verify firmware, and secure your recovery. This page is a template and includes strong anti-phishing guidance.
1
Unbox & Inspect
Confirm tamper-evident seals and physical condition before connecting. If anything looks suspicious, stop and contact support.
2
Verify Firmware
Only proceed if the device firmware signature checks out with the official tool. Never skip verification.
3
Initialize Wallet
Create a new seed or import an existing one (import only from trusted backup). Never enter your recovery phrase into a website.
4
Secure & Backup
Write seed on paper, store in secure location(s), consider metal backup. Use a passphrase if you understand the tradeoffs.
