What is Ledger?
Founded in 2014, Ledger allows users to buy, exchange and grow their crypto securely with a Ledger hardware wallet, combined with the Ledger Live app. It’s never been easier to keep crypto safe and accessible.
How can I use my Ledger device with the Hiro Wallet?
The Stacks app for Ledger empowers users to connect their Ledger devices to the Hiro Wallet (MacOS, Windows and Linux) for securely managing their Stacks (STX) holdings and participating in Stacking.
The Stacks app is available in Ledger Live. You'll need to install it there before proceeding to connect your Ledger Nano S or X device to the Hiro Wallet for authentication.
