Ledger Nano
The Ledger Nano is one of the world’s most popular hardware wallets for safely storing crypto assets. A Ledger wallet combined with the Ledger Live app gives users complete control over their crypto, ensuring ownership over their assets while providing maximum security.
ICP and Ledger Nano
To use the Ledger Nano to manage your ICP follow these instructions, you need three things:
- Networked computer
- Internet Identity with NNS frontend dapp
- Ledger Nano
You can follow the user manual here: Integrating Ledger Nano With the NNS Front-End Dapp. If you prefer using CLI, there is a Hardware Wallet CLI that you can also use to manage any ICRC-1 token.

The Ledger Nano + NNS dapp integration supports the following actions:
- Receive/send ICP
- Stake a neuron
- View neurons
- Add neurons as hotkeys
- Dissolve neurons
- Disburse neurons
- Increase dissolve delay of neurons
- View NNS proposals

Trade-offs and risks

The Ledger Internet Computer (ICP) app was built by a collaboration between the Zondax team of engineers and cryptographers and the DFINITY Foundation. It was released and announced on December 3, 2021 [1].
The Ledger Internet Computer (ICP) app has undergone a third-party audit and has been reviewed and approved by Ledger. You can access the Ledger Internet Computer (ICP) app repository here: https://github.com/Zondax/ledger-icp.
