Device-first security

Private keys never leave your device — operations are signed offline.

Open & auditable

Built with transparent cryptography so you can inspect and verify behavior.

Offline backups

Create a durable, human-friendly backup that you control — no cloud needed.

Step-by-step: From box to coins

  1. Step 1 — Verify package and device

    Inspect the seal and device serial. If anything looks tampered with, stop and contact support. Safety first.

  2. Step 2 — Connect and install

    Plug into a computer or mobile device, follow the app prompts, and install the latest firmware via the official app.

  3. Step 3 — Create wallet & seed

    Generate a seed phrase on-device. Use the printed recovery card included with your device. Never store the seed on a connected device or in the cloud.

  4. Step 4 — Confirm & test

    Verify the seed by confirming a few words on the device. Send a small test transaction to ensure everything is wired correctly.

Why use a hardware wallet?

Defend against hacks

A hardware wallet reduces the attack surface — keys stay offline and away from malware.

Complete ownership

With your seed in hand, you control your funds — no custodial middleman.

Designed for the long term

Durable hardware and simple recovery processes help your assets survive changes in tech.
