This article will describe how to install the Elrond app on your Ledger device to send and receive EGLD and Elrond Standard Digital Tokens (ESDT) tokens in Ledger Live.
Before you start
- Download and install the latest Ledger Live version via this link.
- Set up Ledger Live with your Ledger device.
- Update the firmware on your Ledger device for your Ledger Nano S / Nano S Plus / Nano X.
MultiversX Guarded accounts
- MultiversX added a new feature to have guarded accounts. This feature means that for each transaction the user wants to send, he will require a co-signature from the account guardian. Users can choose to enable/disable this feature in the settings of Multiverx Wallet or xPortal Wallet.
- Ledger Live does not support guarded accounts at the moment. Users won't be able to broadcast any transaction if they have a guarded account. However, they still can add their accounts and check the correct balance.
