# Connect a Ledger Hardware Wallet

[Kastle’s browser extension](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/kastle/oambclflhjfppdmkghokjmpppmaebego) fully supports **Ledger hardware wallets**, allowing you to manage your **Kaspa Wallet** securely without ever exposing your private keys.

To connect your Ledger, make sure your device has the **Kaspa app installed via Ledger Live**.

***

#### Step-by-Step Guide

**Prepare Your Ledger**

* Connect your **Ledger device** to your computer.
* Make sure it’s **unlocked** and the **Kaspa app** is **open** on the device.

### 🧩 Troubleshooting Ledger Connection Issues

If you’re having trouble connecting your Ledger device to Kastle, try these fixes:

#### ⚠️ 1. Device Not Detected

* Ensure your **Ledger is unlocked** and the **Kaspa app** is open.
* Use a **different USB cable or port** — some only supply power, not data.
* If prompted, allow your **browser to grant USB access** to the Ledger.

#### 🧱 2. Browser Permissions

* Kastle works best in **Google Chrome** or **Brave**.
* Close **Ledger Live** before connecting, as it can block access.
* On macOS, you may need to **reconnect** your device after granting permissions.

#### 🔄 3. Outdated Kaspa App or Firmware

* Open **Ledger Live** and update your **firmware** and **Kaspa app** to the latest version.
* Reconnect your Ledger and reopen the Kaspa app before trying again.

#### 🧹 4. Reset the Connection

If issues persist:

1. Disconnect your Ledger and close Kastle.
2. Reopen your browser.
3. Reconnect your Ledger, open the Kaspa app, and retry **“Import with Ledger.”**

***

* Your operating system and browser version
* Ledger model (Nano S, Nano X, etc.)
* Whether the Kaspa app is open and up to date
