The process for moving your account will only take a few minutes and can be done with minimal effort. Below we have listed seven easy steps that will allow you to move your account to the new Galleon successfully.

What is Tezbox?

Tezbox is a cryptocurrency wallet that was developed by a Tezos Foundation board member, Stephen Andrews. The wallet is an open-source project that does not store the private key information, so individual security measures must be taken to ensure that your coins are safe. You must write down every recovery phrase and private key to ensure that you will always be able to access your cryptocurrency. Tezbox has hardware connections that allow users to add their Ledger or Trezor to the wallet. Tezbox is an interphase wallet that combines easy to maneuver integrations with the cryptocurrency Tezos. This means that the wallet has been created to give users a better experience when they are transacting on the blockchain. The private keys get held locally so that fraudsters cannot steal your private key information over the internet, which is why Tezbox has grown popularity.
Tezbox was the first interphase wallet to allow the top hardware wallets to integrate into their system. Millions of people still misunderstand cryptocurrency, and so Tezbox has tried to bridge this gap by releasing easy to use software that allows you to interact with a cryptocurrency as you might with traditional financial money.
Tezbox has also recently launched a Dapp friendly interphase that will allow users to interact with new decentralized applications built on the Tezos network directly.
