Welcome to hardware wallet setup! You're taking an important step in securing your digital assets. This comprehensive guide will walk you through every step, from unboxing to sending and receiving cryptocurrency.
Begin in a clean, private space. You will handle your recovery seed, which is a crucial backup to restore your wallet if it is lost or stolen. Never record this phrase digitally or share it.
Your computer should be secure. While private keys never leave the device, malware could manipulate transaction addresses or software. Keep your operating system updated and scan for malware before connecting your hardware wallet.
Ensure no cameras, phones, or other people can see your setup.
This is a critical security step that directly protects your funds from theft, loss, or unauthorized access.
