A practical guide

A hardware wallet is a device designed to keep private keys separated from a general-purpose computer or phone. It can sign certain transactions without exposing the key in the same way as a software-only wallet. The device does not remove the need to verify what is being signed.Learn about {public and private keys|public-key-cryptography}.public and private keys

What to know

A recovery phrase can restore access, so anyone who obtains it may be able to control the wallet. Keep it offline and private; do not photograph it, send it to support, or enter it into a site reached through an unsolicited message. Buy devices through trusted channels and check the maker’s current instructions.Also review {phishing warning signs|phishing} and {account protection basics|security}.phishing warning signsaccount protection basics

Using this information

A hardware wallet may be useful for some self-custody situations, but do not assume it is required to use UIGame. Follow the platform’s current deposit and account instructions, and confirm the destination and network before any transfer.
