Setting up a trustline with StellarTerm and Ledger device

Trustlines are added to your Stellar account and let you hold a token as well as specify the amount of that token you’re willing to hold. Trustlines also keep you from receiving unwanted assets. If you want to manage a particular token, for example, USDC on Stellar blockchain, you would need to add a trust line first.

  1. In the StellarTerm interface select the Accept assets tab.
