How claims work

A claim is a wallet you’ve proven you control. Each claim has a name you choose and a system name, such as Account #1.

Ways to add a claim

Open Claims and pick one:

Option	Use it for	Guide
Trezor	Trezor wallets, through Trezor Suite	Hardware wallets
Ledger	Ledger wallets, over USB	Hardware wallets
COLDCARD	COLDCARD, with a MicroSD card	Hardware wallets
Multisig	Multisig wallets, signed with your keys	Multisig
Verify with Manual Signing (Advanced)	Any other single-signature wallet	Manual signing

You prove control by signing this message with the wallet’s first receive address:

I, you@example.com, affirm sole control of this account. No other third-party claims/access permitted. Ownership revocable solely by me. ID=…

Your email goes where you@example.com is. The ID is unique to the claim.

Signing a message is not a transaction. It can’t move your Bitcoin. It doesn’t reveal your private keys.

When it works, you see Claim Verified!

Status	Meaning
pending	Connected, not yet signed. Open it and select Continue.
verified	Signed. It can go on statements and be shared.

10 claims per account. Pending claims count too. Email support@hoseki.app to raise your limit.
One owner per wallet. If someone already verified a wallet with Hoseki, you can’t claim it again. Contact support if this looks wrong.
Bitcoin mainnet only.
Empty wallets: Ledger and COLDCARD scans only list accounts with a balance. Use manual signing for an empty wallet.
