25

In this guide, you will learn how to store Vechain, or any of the Vechain tokens, on your Ledger hardware wallet.

For this guide you will need:

Step 1: Install the Vechain Wallet on your Ledger

  1. Ledger Live, available for Mac, Windows and Linux, needs to be installed on your computer. If you haven’t installed it yet, please go to https://www.ledger.com/pages/ledger-live and follow the instructions to install Ledger Live.
  2. Start Ledger Live and make sure it is up-to-date, if not update it.
  3. Connect your Ledger device to your computer using USB and go to Manager.
  4. Give access to the Manager on your ledger device.
  5. Now search for the Vechain application in the ledger store and install it onto your ledger.
  6. If successful you will get the following message.
  7. On your Ledger device, open up the Vechain application. Go to settings in the Vechain application on your ledger and make sure to set contract data to yes and multi-clause to yes.

Your ledger hardware wallet has now been set up successfully.

To manage your Vechain wallet, we won’t be using the Ledger Live application, but we will make use of Sync to manage your Vechain wallets stored on your Ledger Nano device.

Step 2: Import wallet from Ledger in Sync

Sync is the official desktop wallet and dApp browser for the VechainThor ecosystem. We will use it to interact with our wallet stored on our Ledger

  1. Go to https://env.vechain.org/#sync and download and install the latest version of Sync for your operating system. Please note that you need at least version 1.20 to be able to interact with your ledger, if you have an older version, update!
  2. Open up Sync and click on the wallets icon on the top right. Click on the ledger logo and the following screen should pop up:
  3. After following the instructions on screen you should get access to the 5 VechainThor addresses managed by your Ledger device:
  4. Now you can click on one of the wallets to see its holdings, recent transactions or send VET as can be seen in the picture below:

  2. I am desperately looking to get my economic node on my ledger, the observe wallet doesnt work so my node can´t be activated.
    Is there a way?

  4. Please help me retrieve my VET. I accidentally sent it to an ETH address through my Ledger. What is the process on how to retrieve my VET?

  6. Thanks for the information. I have followed the steps you showed above and they were going smoothly. However, I am having a persistent problem with transferring my VET to my ledger wallet. Every time I attempt a transfer it says “Critical error: Receiver wallet address invalid. Please enter a valid receiver address”

    I have copied and pasted my address of my Nano S so as to not make a mistake. It just won’t accept my address. Could you please give me some advice as to what to do next?

    Many thanks

  7. Hi,

    I don’t know what to do, I have did everything as wrote, but when I am trying to transfer from Local wall (in Sync) (to this Local wallet I have send VET from Binance, and everything was fine) to Ledger nano S I have the same result, Dropped. And even sending to Binance doesn’t work, so it means I can’t send anywhere my VET. Could you help me please.

  9. I have a Nano S. I installed the the VET app. Than I installed Sync. Is it right that I got a 12 word-recovery code for Sync? I didn’t read about that. I don’t get contract data and multi-clause question on my nano S. Finished I see 1 local wallet and 5 extra wallets, I named LedgerS. I’m I doing it wrong? Do I select one of the five wallets to transfer my funds to?

    • I have the same question. However i think because your wallet is technically on your ledger you only use the seed phrase to access the ledger in case of emergency. Sync is just an interface to manage wallets on ledger device.

  10. Wow complicated process. I’m affiliated I’ll lose me VET somewhere in the process. I’m just keeping them spread across multiple wallets to minimize lose if one wallet gets hacked.

  11. I am trying to transfer VET from a ledger wallet. The last step “checking information” stops and shows a red warning button?

  16. My brother recommended I might like this blog. He was totally right. This post actually made my day. You cann’t imagine just how much time I had spent for this information! Thanks!

  17. I together with my guys have been checking out the great strategies from the website then unexpectedly I had an awful suspicion I had not thanked the website owner for those techniques.
