Setting Up HASHWallet: Card + Backup

1. Download the app

Get the HASHWallet app from the official store.

2. Set up your account

After downloading the app, open it and follow these steps to create a new account:

  • Tap "Activate your card" → "Activate card"
  • Enter your email

🔒 Security Recommendations:

  • Use a secure email provider with end-to-end encryption, such as ProtonMail.
  • Preferably, use a dedicated email account that you don’t use for other purposes.
  • Do not share your email address, nor install it on your phone.

Next, enter your phone number to enhance account security.

2.1 Before scanning your cards

🔹 NFC Scanning Considerations:

  • Hold the card in the same place until the scanning is complete, as the system continues reading data.
  • For iOS: Place the card on the back of the phone, as shown in the image.

  • For Android: The NFC antenna location varies by device, but it's typically between the middle and upper half of the back.
    ❗️Finding the correct NFC spot is crucial for seamless transactions.

Generate keys or import a recovery phrase?

🔑 Generate keys (Recommended ✅)

  • This option generates new seedless keys inside the card’s secure chip.
  • Your keys will never be displayed, and they will be securely stored within the chip.

To generate new keys:

  1. Tap "Generate Keys"
  2. Name your seed
  3. Tap "Continue" and scan your card
  4. Enable biometric unlock for secure access

📜 Import from a recovery phrase (optional) If you have an existing recovery phrase with a standard format, you can import it:

  1. Select the phrase language and number of words
  2. Tap "Continue" → "Confirm and proceed"
  3. Confirm understanding by tapping "I understand"
  4. Enter each word in order

💡 Extra security tip: Although our app is highly secured against online threats and bots, you can turn off your internet connection before importing it for additional protection.

Follow the on-screen steps to complete the import process.

 

2.3 Set up Card 2️⃣

1) To set up card 2️⃣, please go to -> Settings ⚙️ -> restore existing seed; and scan card 2️⃣.
2) Choose the seed you just generated or imported with card 1, and follow the steps on the app.

  1. On your seed screen, tap the button.

  3. Transfer your tokens to that public key.
  4. Refresh your wallet to see the updated balance if necessary.

 

5. Understanding your seed

Each seed is represented by a virtual card containing the following elements:

🔹Adding wallets
Tap the "➕" button to create new wallets.

  • Search for your preferred asset and select it to create a wallet.
  • Some coins may require entering a smart contract address.

🔹Active Seed Indicator

  • green circle 🟢 next to the seed name means it is active. If you have multiple seeds, this helps you identify the one in use. If you try to use an inactive seed, the system will require you to activate it first.

🔹Backup Reminder

  • After creating new wallets without needing the card, a red circle 🔴 appears on the three-dot button at the top-right corner of the virtual card. This indicates that a backup of the wallets' structure is pending.

How to back up your wallets' structure

  1. Tap the three dots button → "Back up wallets structure"
  2. Enable "Save wallets structure"
  3. Tap "Got it" → "Encrypt & upload"
  4. Scan your card to complete the backup

💡 Note: This backup only saves your wallets' structure (not balances), ensuring you don’t need to recreate wallets if you sign out completely.
