If you have stored your FIL tokens in cold storage, navigating the new Filecoin DeFi apps may seem confusing. However, it is actually quite simple, and we will show you how to do it.

Step 1. Connect your hardware wallet to your laptop

Make sure you have your device connected to your computer (e.g., with the supplied cable), and enter your pin to unlock it.

Step 2. Connect your wallet to GLIF

  1. If your hardware wallet is unlocked and connected, you will see a pop-up in your browser asking to connect the HID device.

  1. Make sure the Filecoin app is open on your device before you try to connect it.

  1. When the device says ‘Filecoin Ready’, then select the device in the browser popup and hit Connect.

  1. Click "Deposit Filecoin" in the main page, or go to the "Pool" page.

  1. Enter the amount you wish to deposit, and click ‘Deposit’.

4. Confirm in your hardware wallet.
