How to upload your Trezor public key to Unchained

Now that you've properly initialized your Trezor, it's time to upload your Trezor public key to Unchained. This will allow you to build an Unchained vault with this key in the next section.
1

Navigate to the Keys page

Navigate to the Keys page on the left side bar of your account.
Some browsers are problematic for certain devices

Trezor doesn’t work well with Safari. Good browser options include Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Brave, and other chromium-based browsers.

Select Upload new key.
2

Give your key a name

Customize the name of your key so you can tell it apart from other keys. You can always change the name later.
Don’t include sensitive information in your key name

Names referencing where the keys or seed phrases are located should be avoided, for your security.

Once you’ve entered a name, select Next.
3

Export the public key

Public keys are used to build wallets

Your Trezor is designed to keep your private key secret. However, it allows you to share public keys, which are less sensitive. Uploading extended public keys is required for building your vault.

1

Choose Trezor as your device type, and select Next.

2

Select Connect to Trezor. This should open a new browser tab.

Seeing a message about installing Trezor Bridge?

You may have your Trezor Suite program closed. Open the program, close the browser tab talking about Trezor Bridge, and select Connect to Trezor to try again.

3

Turn off the Anonymous data collection switch for privacy if you’d like, then select Confirm.

4

Select Allow once for this session to allow your Trezor to share the public key.

5

Select Export. This will take you back to the Unchained tab where you will see your public key—a bunch of letters and numbers.

6

Select Next.

4

Review and create key

Select Create to finalize the key being added to your account. You will be taken to a dashboard for your key, which you can always return to from the main Keys page for your account.
