Ledger Practice
A plain guide to the deposit, withdrawal, and transfer-note habits we teach alongside the Connectivity Dev desktop journal.
The habit, not the spectacle
Cold-wallet movements are infrequent for many holders. That makes memory unreliable. Ledger practice is the set of small rules we install during sessions so each movement leaves a readable entry — on whichever machine you used that day.
Three entry kinds
Deposit. Funds arriving into cold storage. Note the date, amount, source label (not a seed phrase), confirming reference you already trust, and the device that wrote the entry.
Withdrawal. Funds leaving cold storage. Record the destination label, reason in a full sentence, and whether anyone else was informed.
Transfer note. Movements between storage setups you control, or preparatory steps that are not yet a final withdrawal. These notes prevent “mystery gaps” when balances change without an obvious external payment.
Across devices
Each machine gets a short device label. Entries always include that label. Files live in one agreed location so a travel laptop does not invent a second history. Our Cross-Device Orientation session walks this through live.
What we refuse to write
We will not store private keys, seed phrases, or PIN codes in the journal. If a field feels like a secret rather than a record, it does not belong in the entry.
Start with a session
If your notes are scattered, begin with Cold-Wallet Ledger Setup. If you already write something down but distrust it, book a Transfer Note Review.
