105+## Hardware HD wallet
106+
107+You may also store your Urbit using a hardware HD wallet such as a Trezor or
108+Ledger. This option is used instead of a master ticket - it is a totally
109+separate process from that outlined above. How hardware wallets work are
110+outside of the scope of this document, but here we explain how you may utilize
111+your hardware wallet in a similar fashion to the Urbit HD wallet.
112+
113+A hardware HD wallet is generated from a seed phrase that should be thought of
114+as analogous to the `@q` `T` used to generate the Urbit HD wallet in the above
115+diagram. This seed phrase is a human readable sequence of words that may be used
116+to generate private keys to a near-limitless number of wallets created by adding
117+salt. Some hardware
118+wallets also allow an additional passphrase to go into the generation of these
119+wallets. The seed phrase and passphrase should be considered equal in
120+value to the master ticket `T`- never share these with anyone!
121+
122+In order to use your hardware wallet as your Urbit wallet, you first need to
123+generate a set of addresses on which you would like to store your Azimuth point
124+and proxies. Consult your wallet vendor on how to do this. Then login to Bridge
125+using your current method (likely a master ticket) and transfer ownership to the
126+wallet address you generated on your hardware wallet for ownership.
127+
128+Next, login to Bridge using your hardware wallet. While Bridge supports Trezor
129+and Ledger natively, this may require using Metamask as an intermediary anyways,
130+depending on which firmware you are running. Then [accept the
131+transfer](@/using/operations/using-bridge.md#accept-your-transfer). Your Azimuth
132+point is now stored on your hardware wallet.
133+
134+To finish the process, use Bridge to set your management, voting, and spawn
135+proxies to the other addresses you generated as applicable. You are now using
136+your hardware HD wallet in an analogous fashion to the Urbit HD wallet.
