Use a hardware wallet

We know the idea of setting up your hardware wallet with Chiliz might sound tricky, but we promise it isn't.

Thanks to MetaMask, the process is quite straightforward. We will use a Ledger wallet for this example, but MetaMask works for other brands as well.

You can also have a look at the official MetaMask documentation.

Importing your Ledger

To connect your Ledger wallet to the Chiliz Chain, you need to have MetaMask installed in your browser and properly configured with your Chiliz account. We have dedicated pages about that.

Once everything is in place, follow these steps:

  1. Open the MetaMask browser extension.

  2. Make sure you are on either Chiliz Chain Mainnet or Spicy Testnet.

  3. Open the "Select an account" menu and click "Add account or hardware wallet", then on "Add hardware wallet".

  4. A new tab opens in your browser. Select "Ledger" (or any other wallet brand you might have). More information is displayed. Select Ledger (or the brand of hardware wallet that you have), make sure your wallet is connected to your laptop.

  5. Click the "Continue" button at the bottom of the interface. Your browser will then ask you if MetaMask can connect to your Ledger (or other hardware wallet):

  6. Select your device.

  7. Click "Connect".

MetaMask will then display the accounts stored on your wallet:

1. Select the account from which you wish to import CHZ, by clicking its checkbox.

2. Click "Unlock".

And voilĂ ! You're all set. Your harware wallet has now been imported into MetaMask.

"Can I store CHZ via Ledger through MetaMask connected to Ledger?"

Yes, you can manage your CHZ on the Chiliz Chain using MetaMask connected to Ledger.

Although the Ledger device does not display the CHZ ticker when signing transactions, MetaMask correctly shows the CHZ available in your Ledger account.
