How do I set up a hardware wallet to use on Unchained?
Follow the manufacturer's instructions to generate an offline bitcoin key to use on Unchained.
You must set up your hardware wallet before you can connect it to Unchained. If you've signed up for a live onboarding with our team, we will help you during the call, but you're always welcome to try the setup yourself. The links below will take you to the manufacturer's website for each model.
Caution: Losing your hardware wallet or seed phrase backup could compromise this key and put your bitcoin at risk. Never share your backup with anyone, take a photo of it, or enter it into a computer. Follow our security best practices to store your key safely.
