Wyre swaps temporarily paused in Ledger Live

 Wyre swap service is currently paused

  • Wyre swaps have been temporarily paused in the Ledger Live app. You can follow us on Twitter for updates.
  • You can continue swapping through Ledger Live with CIC, Paraswap or 1inch.
  • Since the swapping service is offered through our third-party partner Wyre, please reach out to Wyre Support with your Swap ID if you have any questions. Make sure to check whether your question is answered in Wyre Help Center.

Please keep this in mind before swapping

  • It’s possible to get an error message when attempting to swap in Ledger Live. This is likely due to having a VPN on, so please make sure to temporarily disengage your VPN before attempting to swap in Ledger Live.  
  • It can take time to receive your crypto after doing a swap. This is usually due to network congestion. If you’ve been waiting a while and still don’t see your crypto, please reach out to the swap provider first, and provide them with your swap ID #. Of course, you’re always welcome to reach out to Ledger customer support as well.
