Xverse Wallet supports connecting a Ledger hardware wallet, allowing you to manage your Bitcoin, Ordinals, and Stacks assets directly from Xverse. Follow the instructions below to connect your Ledger device to Xverse.
Please note
Hardware wallet support, including Ledger devices, is currently only available on the Xverse browser extension. Support for mobile is under consideration for future updates.
Step 1: Start the Ledger Setup in Xverse
In the Xverse extension, go to Account (in the top left corner) > select Connect Hardware Wallet. This will direct you to the Ledger wallet setup page, click on Get Started.
Step 2: Select Asset Types to Manage
Select the asset types you’d like to manage with Xverse. You can choose Bitcoin/Ordinals, Stacks, or both.
Step 3: Confirm Ledger Live Usage
Indicate whether you’re using Ledger Live with this device.
We highly recommend using only one application—either Xverse or Ledger Live—with the same Ledger device for a smoother experience. For details, check out Why can't I use Xverse and Ledger Live with the same Ledger device?.
Step 4: Connect and Verify Your Ledger Addresses
Connect your Ledger device to your computer, ensure it’s plugged in, unlocked, and has the Bitcoin app up-to-date and open. You’ll be prompted to verify your Bitcoin and Ordinals addresses on the Ledger device.
Step 5: Name Your Ledger Account
Name your Ledger account in Xverse, complete the setup process, and start managing your assets.
Troubleshooting “Connection Failed” Error
If you encounter this error during Step 4, please try the following:
- Ensure your Ledger device is properly connected and unlocked.
- Check that your Ledger’s firmware is updated to the latest version.
- Make sure your Bitcoin App on Ledger is up-to-date and open during the connection process.
- Use Chrome as your browser for Xverse, and confirm that your Xverse extension is updated to the latest version.
