This article will help you set up your first Ledger Cardano (ADA) account.

  You can learn more about the Cardano project here.

Sending ADA to Binance and Kraken exchanges

  • The Cardano network currently provides two different address types: Byron (starts with DdzFF or Ae2) and Shelley (starts with addr1). More on this here.
  • Ledger Live does not support sending to Byron addresses yet.
  • Binance and Kraken exchanges use Byron deposit wallets. As a result, you will not be able to send your ADA to these exchanges via Ledger Live. Ledger Live will return a This is not a valid address error.

  • We're working on an update to support those wallets as soon as possible.
  • In the meantime, please send your transaction via YOROI as explained here.

Send Cardano (ADA)

You can send Cardano from your account, using a Ledger device to verify and approve transactions.

Pro tip: Send a small amount first and verify that the transaction was received before sending larger amounts. If you’re unsure whether a transaction was successful, check back in a few minutes.

Note: To submit transactions, a Cardano account must have a minimum balance of 1 ADA, not including the network fees. That means the absolute minimum transaction is 1 ADA + fees. 

Send Cardano (ADA) with Ledger Live

  1. In the left sidebar menu, go to Accounts and click Cardano.
  2. You’ll see that you can send and receive ADA. Click Send.
  3. Enter the recipient address. Double-check the address and click Continue.
  4. Enter the amount you want to send.Cardano_send.png
  5. Check the transaction summary—Amount, Network fees, and Total to debit—and click Continue.
  6. Confirm and approve the transaction on your Ledger device—press both buttons simultaneously to Approve. Press both buttons simultaneously to Accept and send the transaction.

The transaction is sent. Your account balance will be updated when the blockchain confirms the transaction.

Note: If you hold Cardano tokens or NFTs, some of your ADA will be bonded to these tokens. This happens because the Cardano network requires you to lock away some ADA for every token and NFT your wallet holds. The locked ADA will still appear in the total balance of your account. However, when transferring ADA to another address, you won’t be able to spend bonded ADA.
