# Use a hardware wallet

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

Thanks to [MetaMask](https://metamask.io/), the process is quite straightforward. We will use a [Ledger](https://www.ledger.com/) wallet for this example, but MetaMask works for other brands as well.

*You can also have a look at the* [*official MetaMask documentation*](https://support.metamask.io/more-web3/wallets/user-guide-how-to-use-a-hardware-wallet/)*.*

## Importing your Ledger

To connect your Ledger wallet to Chiliz Chain, you need to have MetaMask installed in your browser and properly configured with your Chiliz account. [We have dedicated pages about that](/learn/about-wallets/how-to-use-metamask.md).

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), and 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 *voilà*! You're all set. Your hardware 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 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.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.chiliz.com/develop/basics/connect-to-chiliz-chain/use-a-hardware-wallet.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
