Connect your Signer account to the Ledger Live extension

This section is for Operators only.

Overview

  • In the workspace settings, you will be able to connect your signer account to the Ledger Live which will be used similar to an extension, in order to craft a transaction via Ledger Live and then sign it with your PSD on the Vault.

  • The Vault Signer feature is available on Tron (including TRC20 tokens), Cosmos and Near accounts with the Ledger Live application functioning as an external wallet.

  • Please note that the account balance for these cryptocurrencies will not be displayed in Ledger Vault. Users are advised to rely on the blockchain or Ledger Live wallet for balance information.

Before you start

  • You need to have a Vault Signer account created: Create a Signer account .

  • Your Personal Security Device must be connected to your computer, switched on, and the Ledger Vault app opened.

Instructions

Step 1. Access the external wallet configuration in the account settings as an operator

  1. Click on the account you want to connect to Ledger Live.

  2. Click Settings in the tabs.

Step 2. Pair your workspace with Ledger Live

  1. Open Ledger Live (please make sure you have the latest version of Ledger Live. You can download Ledger Live here ).

  1. Please carefully make a note of the API token generated. Once you have generated the token, it will be hidden from view. If you lose it, you will need to generate a new token.

    1. The token is singular to every operator. Once it has been generated it applies to all the accounts that a given operator has access to. For example, if Operator Carlos Hernandez generates an API token, it will apply to all the accounts he has access to. Another operator will generate a different token on their side. This token ensures that each operator will only be able to import the accounts that they have access to into an external wallet.

  1. Open Ledger Live and click on the "Settings" icon in the top right corner.

  1. Then click on Experimental features tab
