While your Ledger device can store SOL coins and Solana assets and NFTs, the Ledger Live app does not support Solana accounts yet.
To create your first account we recommend using Solflare or Phantom with your Ledger device.
Using Solflare or Phantom is perfectly safe, all accounts created with your Ledger device through Solflare or phantom are secured by your Ledger device.
Visit our dedicated Solflare article or Phantom article to learn more.
