Since firmware v 1.5 you can only generate a wallet with the Perfect Key format.
If you want to make a backup of 24 words instead, you can do so after setting up your wallet. Both the Perfect Key and 24 word seed phrase versions of your backup can be found via Settings → Display secret key.
Set up your ZERO for the first time and create your own 24-word seed phrase, completely offline!
To get started select Create a wallet on the Choose your wallet screen and then select Mnemonic wallet.
In the first step the device asks you to register a fingerprint, as it will be used to generate a unique personalised wallet.
Based on the randomness, generated by the internal chip, combined with your fingerprint and the light intensity measured by your ZERO’s camera, your 24 mnemonic words are generated.
Before you continue, you first have to make a backup of your key, as it is crucial to be able to recover your assets if you break or lose your ZERO.
Select the checkbox to confirm you’ve made a backup.
The device will now ask you what the word is of a random position, to verify that you correctly made your backup
You can now set up your dashboard.
- Swipe through the coin list and tap each coin you want to add. You can also tap the plus-icon to do a quick search for your coin.
The last step is setting up the LIQUID mobile app.
- To download and install the iOS or Android app, scan the first QR-code on the ZERO with your smartphone. Then open the app.
- You will need to authenticate with your phones authentication method.
The app will ask you to synchronise with your ZERO. - Scan the second QR-code on your ZERO to import the app and import all your accounts. During the synchronisation only the public keys are being transferred to the app. Your private keys remain safely offline on the ZERO.
