How to use a Ledger wallet with the Phantom mobile app

This article shows you how to pair a Bluetooth-enabled Ledger device, such as the Nano X or Stax, with the Phantom mobile app and use it to sign transactions.

Note: Ledger Nano Gen 5 via Bluetooth isn't currently supported.

Before you begin

• Install the Solana, Ethereum, Polygon, and Bitcoin apps on your Ledger.
• Set up blind signing:
  • Allow blind signing in the Solana (SOL) app
  • Enable blind signing in the Ethereum (ETH) app

Connect your Ledger wallet to Phantom on mobile

Keep your Ledger unlocked during setup to ensure account discovery. If the device locks, you may need to restart the Phantom app and begin setup again.

1. Open the Phantom mobile app.
2. Tap your profile avatar in the upper-left corner.
3. Tap Add Account, then tap Connect Hardware Wallet.
4. Allow Bluetooth access when prompted. Make sure your Ledger is unlocked and Bluetooth is on.
5. Tap Connect your Ledger device, select your device, and tap Continue.
6. Select the networks you want to connect: Solana, Ethereum, Polygon, Bitcoin, or Base.
7. When prompted, open the corresponding app (for example, the Solana app) on your Ledger.
8. Tap Select Accounts, choose which addresses to connect, and tap Continue.

Note: If you hold Bitcoin (BTC), Ledger Live may show different balances than Phantom. Ledger generates new Bitcoin addresses automatically, so BTC you’ve received may appear in different accounts. Learn more in Ledger Support

2. Unlock your Ledger device and keep it nearby.
3. Tapping Next → Send.
4. Select Connect and wait for Bluetooth pairing to complete.
5. When prompted, connect via Bluetooth and open the correct Ledger app.
6. Approve the transaction on your Ledger device by following the on-screen instructions.
