**Tips:**

1. When syncing Keystone with Core, the BTC addresses may differ between Legacy, Nested Segwit, and Native Segwit formats. To ensure that you receive funds correctly, make sure to **convert your BTC address** to [**Core's format**](/advanced-features/change-the-derivation-path-of-addresses.md) that matches your Keystone wallet.
2. **Always double-check the exact address before sending or receiving any funds.**

Note:

After importing your hardware wallet into Core, your recovery phrase and private keys will still be stored on the hardware device. The Core is only used as a tool to **display assets**.&#x20;

After importing, any transaction signatures still require your hardware device. So you don't have to worry about compromising your asset security after importing.
