How to Connect Your Ledger Wallet to NFTs and dApps with Coinbase Wallet
Are you a first-time hardware wallet user or already have a Ledger? If so, connecting to the world of NFTs and dapps has never been easier with Coinbase Wallet. In this article, we’ll guide you through the steps to connect your Ledger wallet to NFTs and dapps using the Coinbase Wallet browser extension.
What You Need
Before we begin, make sure you have the Coinbase Wallet browser extension installed. Our browser extension is compatible with all models of Ledger wallets and allows you to connect up to 15 Ethereum addresses. It also has all the same great features and functionality as our mobile app.
Step 1: Open the Coinbase Wallet Browser Extension
To get started, open the Coinbase Wallet browser extension and choose “I already have a wallet”. Then select “Connect a hardware wallet”. This will open up a new tab with step-by-step instructions.
Step 2: Connect Your Ledger
Close any other apps your Ledger is connected to, including Ledger Live. Plug your Ledger into your computer and unlock it. Open the Ethereum app.
Step 3: Choose Addresses to Connect
Once you’ve completed the previous steps, you’ll have the option to choose which addresses to connect to your wallet. Start by adding your first two addresses and you’ll learn how to add a third one later.
Step 4: Authenticate the Connection
Authenticate the connection by signing the message on your Ledger for each of the addresses you chose to connect.
Step 5: Manage Your Wallets
From the Coinbase Wallet browser extension home screen, open the menu in the top left corner and select “Manage wallets”. From here, click “Add address”. You’ll see a prompt letting you know that you can connect up to 15 Ethereum addresses and if those addresses are compatible with side chains like Polygon and Avalanche.
Tips and Tricks
Just to note, for the time being, it’s not possible to disconnect a Ledger address once you’ve connected it. So keep that in mind as you add new addresses.
Conclusion
By following these simple steps, you can easily connect your Ledger wallet to the world of NFTs and dapps using the Coinbase Wallet browser extension. In just a few minutes, you’ll be ready to secure, explore, and use your favorite apps with confidence.
