How to connect your Ledger Nano X to the Pera Algo app

Last updated:

As of now you can create accounts with Pera Wallet that are backed and secured by Ledger Nano X. This means that all transactions from a Ledger-backed Algorand account will require authorization by your Nano X. The private keys never leave the device and remain fully secure. 

To connect Ledger Nano X with Pera Algo Wallet, you need to complete the following steps:

  • Install Algorand app on your device
  • Add an Algorand account in Ledger Live
  • Download and setup Pera Algo Wallet
  • Pair your Ledger Nano X with Pera Algo Wallet

  If you already have Algorand (ALGO) installed on Ledger Live and your Ledger device, you can skip the first two steps.

Install Algorand (ALGO) on your Ledger device 

  1. In Ledger Live, navigate to My Ledger.
  2. Connect your device and unlock it.
  3. Confirm that you allow My Ledger to access your device. You can do that by clicking both buttons of your device simultaneously. 
  4. Go back to Ledger Live. In My Ledger, head over to App catalog and search for Algorand (ALGO).
