Introduction — manage your crypto assets with confidence

VaultLive helps you manage your crypto assets safely—balancing security with usability. To manage your crypto assets effectively, combine a clear portfolio tracker, secure wallet setup, robust seed backup, tested wallet recovery, and careful cold storage planning. This guide explains each step in straightforward language so you can protect your portfolio while maintaining control.

Core principles: ownership, redundancy, verification

When you manage your crypto assets, prioritize ownership (you control private keys), redundancy (multiple secure backups), and verification (confirming actions on-device). Ownership ensures you’re not reliant on third parties; redundancy prevents single-point failures; verification defends against malware and phishing.

Quick start: wallet setup & portfolio tracking

Start by downloading a verified companion app from your provider, then initialize or restore a wallet. If you use a hardware wallet, pair it for cold-key signing. Add your accounts to VaultLive’s portfolio tracker to see balances and allocations across tokens. The portfolio tracker helps you monitor performance and make data-driven rebalancing decisions.

Seed backup & wallet recovery

Seed backup is the most critical part of long-term secure custody. During wallet setup, write the recovery seed in order on physical media. Consider a metal backup for durability. Store copies in geographically-separated secure locations and test wallet recovery on a different device to validate your backup procedure.

Cold storage for long-term holdings

Cold storage keeps keys offline until signing time. For long-term holdings, use hardware wallets and minimize exposure. Options include air-gapped signers and multisignature setups for institutions. Keep a clear recovery plan and document who can access backups if an emergency occurs.

Transaction verification & everyday security

Always verify transaction details on the hardware device screen before approving. Never rely only on a desktop or mobile display—malware can alter host displays. Confirm recipient addresses, amounts, and network fees on-device to reduce the chance of unauthorized redirection.

Troubleshooting & support

If you have device connectivity issues, check cables, USB settings, and app permissions. For recovery issues, re-check the seed and test on a second device. Preserve non-sensitive logs if support requests diagnostics and never disclose your seed or passphrase to anyone.
