Ledger & MetaMask Strengthen Partnership: Ledger Nano X Soon Compatible with MetaMask Mobile App | Ledger (2024)

FAQs

Is Ledger Nano X compatible with MetaMask mobile app? ›

MetaMask Mobile users can now connect both Ledger Nano X and QR-code hardware wallets for added security. Ledger users can now connect to both MetaMask Mobile and MetaMask Extension for easier transacting.

Tap Pair new Ledger Nano X in Ledger Live. Bluetooth must be enabled on your phone and Ledger Nano X (enabled by default, turning Bluetooth on/off requires a reboot). On Android, Ledger Live requires location services to pair your device. Your location information is never stored by Ledger.

No, even though your Ledger Ethereum account is visible in MetaMask, the private keys (recovery phrase) responsible for managing that account are still safeguarded by your Ledger device. MetaMask does not have any access to your private keys.

Ensure that your MetaMask extension and the browser are up-to-date. Close Ledger Live as it may conflict with MetaMask, especially if your Ledger device is connected to My Ledger. Open the Ethereum (ETH) app on your Ledger device before you click Connect Hardware Wallet in MetaMask.

Ledger Nano X requires either a desktop computer (at least 64-bit Windows 10, macOS 10.15 or 64-bit Linux) or a smartphone (at least iOS 9 or Android 10) to install apps, to add accounts, to check account balances and to manage secure transactions.

You can pair your Ledger Nano X to the MetaMask mobile app using Bluetooth. Ledger Nano S Plus is not compatible with the MetaMask mobile app, but it is compatible with the MetaMask browser extension. Open the MetaMask mobile app and navigate to Accounts. Tap Add account or hardware wallet.

That's when an attacker injected malicious “drainer” code into Ledger's Connect Kit, a widely used software component maintained by the hardware wallet maker. For a few hours before it was patched, the malicious code snatched digital assets right out of wallets connected to services through Connect Kit.

Insufficient Interaction:Compared to software wallets, Ledger wallets offer limited interaction with decentralized applications (DApps), despite their superior storage capabilities. 4. Physical Deficiency:Even though Ledger wallets are safe from online threats, they can still be stolen, damaged, or lost.

By comparing Ledger vs MetaMask overall scores, we clearly see that Ledger has the higher overall score of 7.9. MetaMask, on the other hand, has scored 6.6 final points.

If you're using MetaMask as a browser extension, it might be the older version or have conflicts with other extensions. Update the extension or try using a different browser. Disable other extensions one by one to see if any of them are causing the issue. Verify that you're connected to the correct blockchain network.

Can you connect Ledger to existing MetaMask wallet? ›

Now, you can connect your MetaMask Mobile app to your Ledger Nano X via Bluetooth and import your Ledger Live accounts seamlessly. Your Ledger hardware wallet keeps your private keys offline and always protected, and your Ledger will still be required to approve transactions.

If you are using MetaMask through its web browser extension and it's not working, then you might have installed another browser-based wallet on your device. So, disable any such browser extension and then see if MetaMask works.

1. Download the MetaMask app on IOS or Android. 2. Hit “Get Started.” Follow the steps to either Create a Wallet or Import a Wallet.

You can use the same MetaMask wallet on both Mobile and Extension. Simply install MetaMask and import your existing wallet using your Secret Recovery Phrase.
