Before you begin the process to withdraw ETH from the Keystone hardware wallet, make sure the following items are ready:

• Your Keystone hardware wallet (fully charged)

How to Withdraw ETH from Keystone Hardware Wallet?

Here is a simple guide to help you withdraw crypto from your Keystone hardware wallet:

1. Open Your Keystone Wallet and Select Ethereum

Start by turning on your Keystone device. From the list of supported cryptocurrencies, tap on Ethereum (ETH). This action will display your Ethereum account details on the device.

2. Connect Keystone to a Software Wallet (View-Only Mode)

To prepare and broadcast a transaction, you must link your Keystone to a software wallet.

• Open your preferred app like Keystone Mobile App or MetaMask.
• Select “Connect Hardware Wallet” and scan the QR code shown on the Keystone screen.
• This will import your Ethereum account as a watch-only wallet, allowing you to view balances and create unsigned transactions.
  

📌 Note: This step does not expose your private keys.

3. Start a New ETH Withdrawal Transaction

In your software wallet:

• Tap on “Send”
• Choose Ethereum (ETH)
• Enter the recipient’s ETH address
• Specify the amount you want to withdraw
• Adjust the gas fee, or leave it on auto if you’re unsure
  

Review all the details carefully before moving on.

4. Generate and Scan the Unsigned Transaction

After filling out the transaction:

• Your software wallet will show a QR code with the unsigned transaction
• Use your Keystone device to scan this QR code
  

Your Keystone wallet will now display all the transaction details for you to review.

5. Sign the Transaction Securely with Keystone

Once you confirm the transaction details on the Keystone screen:

• Press “Sign” to sign the transaction offline
• The Keystone will generate a QR code with the signed data
  

This step ensures your ETH withdrawal is signed securely without connecting to the internet.

6. Broadcast the Transaction via the Software Wallet

• Go back to the software wallet
• Use the wallet’s built-in scanner to scan the signed QR code from your Keystone device
• The wallet will now broadcast the signed transaction to the Ethereum blockchain
  

You’ve now completed your ETH withdrawal from your Keystone hardware wallet.

• Never share your private keys or recovery phrase with anyone.

Troubleshooting: Fix Common ETH Withdrawal Issues

Even with a smooth system like Keystone, you might face occasional hiccups. Here’s how to quickly fix the most common problems when trying to withdraw ETH from your Keystone hardware wallet:

• QR Code won’t scan: Make sure the lighting is good and the QR code is clear. Adjust the distance between your Keystone and the screen.
• Transaction Stuck: Check your internet connection. If the signed QR code didn’t scan right, try again, capturing the whole code.
