Cold storage keeps your assets safe from online threats by isolating your private keys on a hardware wallet that remains offline when not in use, making it an ideal solution for users who wish to store their Bitcoin, Ordinals assets (Ordinals inscriptions, Runes,…) and Stacks securely.
Xverse currently supports Ledger hardware wallets as the primary option for secure cold storage. With a Ledger device connected to Xverse, you can:
- Store and manage Bitcoin in secure cold storage.
- Safely hold and transfer Ordinals and BRC-20 tokens without risking accidental spending.
- View your full Ordinals portfolio directly within Xverse, including rare sats and inscriptions.
- Store and manage Stacks & SIP-10 tokens.
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.Setting Up Your Ledger Device with Xverse
To connect your Ledger device to Xverse, please refer to our step-by-step guide: How to Connect Your Ledger Device to Xverse. This guide will walk you through the process of securely setting up your Ledger with Xverse.
Limitations of Using Ledger with Multiple Wallets
While it is possible to connect your Ledger device to other wallets, we recommend using it exclusively with Xverse for Ordinals and Runes management. Using one device with multiple wallets that don’t explicitly support Ordinals, like Ledger Live, could risk accidental spending of Ordinals assets, as they would be treated as regular Bitcoin.
Future Cold Storage Integrations
We understand the interest in expanding cold storage options beyond Ledger and are working to support additional hardware wallets for both our extension and mobile app. Our goal is to provide secure storage solutions that meet the diverse needs of our users.
By using Ledger with Xverse, you’re choosing a secure, reliable solution for cold storage that supports your full Bitcoin, Ordinals and Runes portfolio. For any additional questions, feel free to reach out to our support team.
