Secure Device Setup

Enterprise-Grade Security Architecture

Secure Element Technology

Your private keys are protected by certified secure elements, the same technology used in passports and credit cards, ensuring complete isolation from online threats.

Private Key Protection

Cryptographic secrets never leave your hardware device. All sensitive operations occur in the secure element, completely isolated from your computer or phone.

Physical Confirmation

Every transaction requires manual approval on your device screen. This prevents remote attacks and ensures you maintain complete control over your assets.

Secure Setup Process

1

Initialize Your Device

Begin by connecting your hardware wallet to your computer using the provided USB cable. The device will guide you through the initial setup process, including generating your unique recovery phrase.

This recovery phrase is the master key to your cryptocurrency holdings. It's generated offline within the secure element and displayed only on your device screen.

Secure Your Recovery Phrase

Write down the 24-word recovery phrase exactly as shown on your device display. Use the provided recovery sheet or a certified metal backup solution for maximum durability.

Store multiple copies in secure, geographically separate locations. Never store your recovery phrase digitally or share it with anyone, as it provides complete access to your funds.
