Getting started — 7 simple steps
- Unbox & inspect — Check the device box seal and included accessories. Do not use a device with broken tamper-evidence stickers.
- Download official software — Visit the official provider's website (verify URL) and get the official app. Avoid third-party downloads.
- Connect securely — Use a trusted computer with updated OS, connect the device via the provided cable, and follow on-screen prompts.
- Create a PIN — Choose a PIN you can remember but that is hard to guess. Never store it in plain text.
- Write down recovery seed — Write your recovery words on paper. Store them offline in secure locations. This is the most important backup.
- Verify seed — The device may ask to confirm words. Do this on-device — never reveal the seed to any app or website.
- Receive small test amount — Before large transfers, send a small amount to ensure everything works.
