In this article, you’ll learn to safely send Ether and ERC‑20 tokens via MyEtherWallet with your BitBox02 hardware wallet.


Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:

  • A BitBox02 hardware wallet set up with the BitBoxApp and firmware updated.
  • The BitBoxBridge installed if you’re not using Chrome, Edge, or Brave; this lets your BitBox02 communicate with web wallets such as MyEtherWallet.
  • A MyEtherWallet account and a small amount of ETH in your wallet to cover gas fees, since Ether is the native cryptocurrency used to power transactions on Ethereum.
  • Your BitBox02 connected via USB or bridge and unlocked, with the correct Ethereum address selected.

Step 1: Connect your BitBox02

  1. Go to myetherwallet.com and click Access my wallet.
  2. Choose Hardware → BitBox02, then enter your device password when prompted.
  3. Select the Ethereum address you wish to use; this will be your sending address on MEW.

Step 2: Navigate to send transaction

  1. In the left‑hand menu of your MEW dashboard, click Send Transaction (or find Send → Send Transaction).
  2. This opens the transaction form where you’ll specify which asset to send.

Step 3: Enter transaction details

  1. Select whether you’re sending ETH or an ERC‑20 token; you can search the drop‑down list for your token  .
  2. Enter the amount you wish to send.
  3. Paste or type the recipient’s address; always double‑ and triple‑check this address, as funds sent incorrectly cannot be recovered.
  4. If you want to send your entire ETH balance, click MAX to auto‑calculate gas from your total.

Step 4: Adjust fees and advanced options

  1. Under Transaction fee settings, choose your speed (Low, Medium, High) to adjust gas price accordingly.
  2. Click Advanced to manually edit Gas limit and Add data only if you’re an expert; incorrect values can cause failures or stuck transactions.
  3. For more on how gas works, see the What is Gas article.

Step 5: Review and confirm

  1. Click Next to review your transaction details.
  2. On your BitBox02 display, verify the address, amount, and fees; confirm on the device or abort if anything looks off.

Step 6: finalize and verify

  1. Once you confirm, MEW broadcasts your transaction. You’ll see a confirmation with your transaction hash—copy it for your records. 
  2. To ensure your transfer completed successfully, paste the hash into Etherscan (etherscan.io) and check its status.
