How to Migrate Your Crypto to Ledger

要点总结: |
— Private keys are your essential link to your blockchain assets; offline storage is the best way to secure those keys. — Most entrants to Web3 start out using a software wallet – but later opt for a hardware device that secures their keys offline, and isolated from hackers. — But the way you make the transition from software to hardware storage is incredibly important – getting it wrong means your hardware device will not protect your assets. — Every asset you migrate needs a completely new address within the hardware device – with private keys that have never been online. |
Since you started this course, you’ve learned the basics of Web3, of blockchain, and of crypto security. There’s just one thing left to do before you begin actively exploring the space: learn exactly how to secure and migrate crypto assets using a hardware device. Let’s tackle that process.
The First Step in Crypto: Secure Your Private Keys
无论是比特币、以太币、NFT,还是才开始支持的项目发行的全新代币,您的加密资产全都有一个共同点——它们都有一个私钥。
If you are you’re looking to secure and migrate crypto on a Ledger device, you might think this simply means recovering your private keys on your device. 但这样做就大错特错了。
In this article, Ledger Academy explains how to properly migrate crypto assets into a secure hardware wallet.
Software Wallets Should Always Be Secured by a Hardware Device
A hot wallet, or software wallet, may well conceal your private keys, in the sense that they’re stored within the interface and you won’t need to write them down. But managing your keys within an interface on a connected device leaves a gap for sophisticated digital hackers to target your data.
一次在线,永远在线
您的密钥或恢复短语只要上过线,哪怕就一秒钟,它们就不再安全。 可能已经有人远程访问过它们, 而您根本无从知晓。
现在应该已经明白:如果您的私钥最初是在线生成的,那么仅将其转移到硬件钱包中并不能保证安全。
您需要一个从未在联网设备上出现过的新密钥。
Migrate Crypto From Your Software Wallet to a Ledger
The entire premise of a Ledger device is that it keeps your private keys completely offline. This is the central proposition of a hardware wallet. But, what the device cannon do is protect keys that have already been online.
切勿使用种子助记词在硬件设备上恢复热钱包。 这样很可能可以恢复您现有的区块链资产,但无法保护它们。
1) Create a New Address for Each Asset
If you’re looking to migrate crypto assets from a hot wallet to a Ledger device, you should create a new address altogether. 每一种不同的加密资产均应这样操作,点击此处了解如何操作。
2) Verify and Send Each Crypto Asset to its New Ledger Address
The next step is sending each one (that means some gas fees) from your existing wallet into its new account within your Ledger device. You’ll be able to see your public key (receiving address) by copying it from the Ledger Live App. You’ll need to verify on the Trusted Display of your Ledger device to be sure.
3) Enjoy Completely Secure Private Keys
在设备中生成新的私钥,并将您的资产发送到其新地址后,您的加密货币便已保存在完全离线的环境中。
完成此操作后,您便可以关机,可绝对确定您的资产不会遭遇黑客攻击。
Can I Still Interact With dApps From My Ledger?
当然可以! Ledger 的集成生态系统正在不断扩大。 这使您能够从硬件钱包安全地与 dApp 去中心化应用交互。
Even if you’re interacting with a platform that’s not yet integrated into Ledger’s ecosystem, don’t worry -you are still covered. Ledger devices are fully compatible with key Web3 middleware. We’ll talk you through the process of connecting your Ledger to a Web3 browser extension right here.
You Are Now Web3-Ready
恭喜! 待完成课程、区块链知识达标并将私钥隐藏在硬件钱包中后,您就可以安全地探索 Web3 了。
If you take just one thing from this course, it should be this: keeping your crypto safe is not only about protecting your private key and recovery phrase. While also understanding the space, in order to avoid the pitfalls.
Web3 领域的一切事物都在迅猛发展,令人兴奋! 但诈骗手段也迅速演进。 自我监护的自由也意味着,保护密钥和资金完全是您自己的责任。
Ledger 的使命不仅是提供最安全的私钥保存方案,还要做最好的持续教育资源,帮助您不断了解最新的加密货币风险。
在 Web3 中,一切由“您自己”掌控。 因此,请确保安全,持续学习,享受探索之旅! Ledger will be here to support you.
