How ledger-style security works

The core idea is simple: private keys should never touch an internet-connected computer. We use a physical device that generates and stores your keys in a dedicated secure chip. When you want to send funds, the transaction is signed inside the device — your private key never leaves the hardware. This reduces risk from malware, phishing, and compromised computers.

Recoverable ownership

During setup you create a recovery phrase — a human-readable backup that lets you restore access if the device is lost. Keep it offline and private.

Open standards

The device follows industry standards for deterministic wallets and integrates with major apps so you remain in control across platforms.

Why hardware matters

Software wallets are convenient, but convenience can mean exposure. Hardware prevents secrets from being copied, intercepted, or extracted by software-only attackers. For long-term holdings, recurring transactions, or anyone who values ownership security, hardware gives a measurable safety improvement.

Getting started — checklist

  1. Purchase a genuine device from an authorized seller.
  2. Follow the included setup guide; record your recovery phrase on the card provided — never store it digitally.
  3. Install the companion desktop/mobile manager app to manage accounts and updates.
  4. Verify addresses on the device before receiving funds, and confirm transactions on-device when sending.

Tip: treat your recovery phrase like a bank vault key — anyone with it can control your assets. Consider additional safety measures like multisig for large portfolios.
