Process

For new users, please follow the step-by-step guide to set up the device.

1. Power on and Select Language

• Press and hold the power button for a few seconds to turn on your Goldshell Wallet.
• Select your preferred language by following the on-screen instructions.

2. Add Wallet: Create or Import with Seed Phrase

2.1 New User: Create New Wallet

• Select "Create New Wallet" if you are setting up a Goldshell Wallet for the first time.
• Your device will generate a 12-word seed phrase, write it down and store it securely.

2.2 Already Have a Goldshell Seed Phrase: Import Wallet

• Choose "Import Wallet" if you already have a compatible wallet's seed phrase.
• Enter your existing seed phrase using the on-screen keyboard.
• Confirm the seed phrase to import your existing wallet.

NOTE: Guard Your Seed Phrase Like Treasure: Your seed phrase is the key to your funds. Treat it as your most valuable possession and handle it with the utmost care to ensure the security of your assets.

1. Write it Down: Record your seed phrase on the Recovery Sheet.
2. Keep it Private: Never share your seed phrase with anyone, and avoid entering it online.
3. Stay Offline: Always store your seed phrase offline to prevent unauthorized access. Avoid importing online-generated seed phrases into Goldshell Wallet, as they may already be compromised.

3. Wallet Naming and PIN Code Setting

3.1 Name your wallet for better recognition.

3.2 Set a 6-24 digit strong PIN to protect your wallet.

Things you need to know about your PIN:

1. The device can store two sets of seed phrases, allowing you to use different PINs to unlock each corresponding wallet. To change the PIN for the current wallet, go to "Wallet" and select "PIN and Fingerprint". These two PINs cannot be the same.
2. For security purposes, if you mistype the PIN multiple times, the system will automatically restore the device to factory settings, meaning you will need to re-import your wallet.
3. Goldshell will not store your PIN. If you forget it, please reset your wallet, recover it with the seed phrase and set a new PIN.

4. Fingerprint Management (Skippable)

Use fingerprint to unlock the device and sign transactions. It can be found in "Wallet > PIN and Fingerprint".

• Touch the fingerprint sensor on the back of the device and follow the prompts to enter your fingerprint. You will get a confirmation note when it is finished.
