Copay depends on [Bitcore Wallet Service](https://github.com/bitpay/bitcore-wallet-service) (BWS) for blockchain information, networking and Copayer synchronization. A BWS instance can be setup and operational within minutes or you can use a public instance like `https://bws.bitpay.com`. Switching between BWS instances is very simple and can be done with a click from within Copay. BWS also allows Copay to interoperate with other wallets like [Bitcore Wallet CLI] (https://github.com/bitpay/bitcore-wallet).

## Hardware Wallets Support
Copay supports Ledger and Trezor hardware wallets. The support is only available only on Chrome App. Ledger supports is only aviable on multisig wallets, Trezor, both in multisig and non-multisig wallets.
To create or join a wallet using a hardware device go to
Add Wallet -> Create or Join -> Advanced options -> Wallet Seed -> select Trezor or Ledger
Both devices support multiple accounts, so you can use then for multiple wallets. Select the account and the click on create or join.
It is also possible to import an wallet from a device using:
Add Wallet -> Import -> Hardware wallet
Here it is also necesary to select the account number.
When creating or joining a wallet, Copay will ask for two public keys for the device. One public keys is used for the wallet itself and the other is used as entropy source to create a private / public key pair for signing request to the Wallet Service.
Everytime you need to sign a transaction, the device will be needed to performe the signature. Follow the screen instructions after clicking the `send` or `accept` buttons.
Finally, in case you loose the device and you have the 24 words seed for the device, you can recover access to your funds using Copay, see: https://github.com/bitpay/copay/blob/master/backupRecovery.md#hardware-wallets
