Connect & update
Connect your hardware wallet and follow the on-device prompts to install the latest firmware. Confirm sensitive actions on the device itself.

A FEW THINGS WORTH REMEMBERING
Good security
is a daily practice.
Your hardware wallet helps keep private keys offline, but your habits are part of the protection too. Slow down, verify, and keep sensitive information to yourself.
- Keep recovery words offline. Anyone with them can access your wallet.
- Verify every address. Check transaction details on your device screen.
- Trust the source. Avoid unexpected links, downloads, and support DMs.
THE EVERYDAY CUSTODY JOURNAL
FIELD NOTE 001 / 5 MIN READA calmer start to
self-custody.
Simple practices for your first day and every day after.
Taking control of digital assets begins with a small but meaningful shift: you become responsible for protecting the keys that authorize access. A hardware wallet keeps those keys apart from your internet-connected computer, but a secure setup still depends on careful choices.
Start by checking that your device came from a trusted source. Connect it using the manufacturer’s official app, and follow instructions shown on the device screen. If a setup asks you to enter your recovery words into a website, message, or computer prompt, stop. Recovery words are a master backup; keep them private, offline, and somewhere you can access safely.
Before sending cryptocurrency, take a moment to verify the recipient address and amount on your hardware wallet. A familiar-looking screen on your computer is not a substitute for checking the device itself. Keep software current through official channels, and be wary of urgent messages, unsolicited support, or links promising to fix a wallet problem.
Self-custody is not about never making a mistake—it is about creating a routine that makes safer choices easier. Move slowly, keep backups private, and learn before you act. When in doubt, pause and consult verified documentation.
