Add wallet via Keystone

Connect your Keystone hardware wallet

Using a Keystone device? You’re about to experience the smoothest air-gapped wallet connection out there. Jamie will guide you through the quick and secure QR-based setup.

📷 Note: Keystone works by scanning and generating QR codes — no cables, Bluetooth, or USB required.

  1. Tap “Connect to Keystone”

    Your Keystone will show a QR code — scan it with your phone to complete the handshake.
