How to Connect a Ledger to Your Solana Wallet

Secure your assets by connecting your Ledger hardware wallet to Backpack, Solflare or Phantom

Using a Ledger device is one of the safest ways to store and manage your Solana assets. All major Solana wallets (Backpack, Phantom, Solflare) allow you to connect a Ledger for enhanced security.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Open your Solana wallet (Backpack, Solflare or Phantom)
   Go to the wallet app or extension you use.

2. Click to Add or Import a Wallet
   You’ll usually find this option in the wallet menu under "Add wallet" or "Import Wallet".

3. Choose “Hardware Wallet”
   Each wallet will show an option for connecting a Ledger device.

4. Connect Your Ledger via USB or bluetooth
   Plug in your Ledger device and unlock it.

5. Open the Solana App on Your Ledger
   On the Ledger device, scroll and launch the Solana app.

6. Select the Address You Want to Use
   The wallet will show available Ledger-linked addresses. Pick one and confirm.

Once connected, the selected Ledger address becomes accessible inside your Solana wallet interface. Transactions will still require approval on your physical Ledger device, giving you full security over your actions.

Important Notes

• Make sure your Ledger firmware and Solana app are up to date via Ledger Wallet.
