Congratulations on making a decision to secure your finances by choosing to use the Trezor self-custody wallet (Model T or Model One) and your seed phrases with Chaindeck. Please plan to spend the next 45-60 minutes setting up your Chaindeck. Your Chaindeck should be ready when the Trezor instructs you to record your recovery seed phrase.
If you’re already using your Trezor and just need to record your seed phrase on Chaindeck, refer to the instruction booklet provided. After recording your recovery seed phrase onto your Chaindeck, you can choose to destroy your old seed phrase backup. Your keys, your responsibility.
Before setting up your Trezor, get your Chaindeck setup and ready for recording your seed phrase. Please follow the instructions provided in the box or refer to our instructions on our website to chain your deck.
Once you have arranged your cards, place the chained deck carefully back into the sleeve it came in.
Now that your deck is chained and tucked in its sleeve, you are ready to start the setup of your Trezor. Please go to start-up page for Model One OR for Model T to start setting up your Trezor.
Follow the instructions until you arrive at the step which involves creating the backup, i.e., recording your recovery seed phrase.
Go back to the chained deck in its sleeve and start noting down your seed phrase in the correct order using a black marker. Make sure to write as small as possible, avoiding long continuous lines but also making sure that it's legible.
Model T: 12 words is the default Recovery Seed length for the Trezor Model T. 12 words can most probably fit onto one side of the deck depending on how small you can write. Make sure the deck stays in order as you take it out of the sleeve and then put it back to use a different side. Ensure that you've recorded all of the words in the correct order.
Model One: 24 words is the default Recovery Seed length for the Trezor Model One. 24 words will most probably require you to use two different sides of the deck depending on how small you can write. Make sure the deck stays in order as you take it out of the sleeve and rotate to use another side. Ensure that you've recorded all of the words in the correct order.
Once you’re done with recording your seed phrase on your Chaindeck, go ahead and complete the setup of your Trezor without shuffling the deck as the setup may ask you for the seed phrase again.
After you’ve completed the Trezor setup and can now access your wallet without seed phrase inquiry, you can go ahead and shuffle the deck of cards as well as you can, flipping, rotating and mixing them until the seed phrase is no longer legible.
For enhanced security of your seed phrase, we encourage you to explore our alternative methods page, where you'll find our expert recommendations on further securing your deck. The possibilities are limitless.
It’s important to store your Chaindeck and wallet separately. Chaindeck is best kept in a fireproof safe for long term storage.
Congratulations on securing your financial freedom with Chaindeck.
