While you cannot directly transfer the wallet itself to a hardware device, you can securely move your assets to a new wallet created on a hardware device, such as through Eternl wallet.
Essentially, you would be setting up a new wallet on the hardware device and then transferring your cryptocurrency assets from your old wallet to this new one. This process ensures that your assets are managed through a hardware wallet for enhanced security, although the original wallet's configuration is not moved but recreated on the hardware device.
Here's a general overview of the process step be step:
First, download the Eternl extension for your browser. Ensure to download it from an authentic source. All official Eternl.io links are available here.
Be aware that from time to time scamming websites imitating Eternl appear. Always check if the website you’re visiting is the correct one.
Once the extension is installed, open it and select the option to add a wallet.
Choose the option to pair with either Keystone, Trezor or Ledger wallet, depending on your hardware. Follow the prompts, which will guide you through connecting your device to your computer.
To transfer all assets to your hardware wallet, first obtain the receiving address. This can be done by accessing the receive option in the Eternl wallet and copying the provided address. Utilize this address to relocate all your assets, from the wallet you're moving from.
After your transactions have been registered on the blockchain, you'll successfully receive all assets from your original wallet in your hardware wallet, thus completing the process.
