# Connect a Ledger Wallet

How to connect a funded Ledger hardware wallet to the Solflare mobile app over Bluetooth, import its accounts, and enable blind signing for Solana.

You can connect a Ledger hardware wallet to the Solflare mobile app over Bluetooth, so your private keys stay on the Ledger while you manage your Solana assets in Solflare. You then have to approve every transaction on the Ledger device.

#### Before you start

* A Ledger device that supports Bluetooth, already set up, with the **Solana** app installed and up-to-date firmware. To set one up, follow [How to generate a wallet with a Ledger device using the Ledger Live app](https://help.solflare.com/en/articles/6176866).
* A SOL balance on at least one Ledger account.
* The [Solflare app](https://app.solflare.com/WVZY/solflare_docs) for iOS or Android.

#### Step 1: Choose Ledger in Solflare

**New to Solflare:** open the app, tap **I already have a wallet**, then choose **Ledger**.

**Already using Solflare:** on the Portfolio tab, tap the account switcher, tap **+ Add wallet**, then **Connect hardware wallet** and choose **Ledger**.

#### Step 2: Pair your Ledger over Bluetooth

1. Unlock the Ledger and open the **Solana** app.
2. Allow Solflare to use Bluetooth when asked.
3. Pair the Ledger with your phone, then select it from the list in Solflare.

#### Step 3: Import your Ledger accounts

Solflare automatically detects funded accounts on the Ledger. When they appear, tap **Import All**. This adds a Ledger-controlled account to Solflare.

To get the full security of a hardware wallet, move your assets from any recovery-phrase account you used before to the new Ledger-controlled account.

#### Step 4: Enable blind signing on the Ledger

Blind signing must be on for the Ledger to sign SPL token transfers and smart contract transactions on Solana.

1. On the unlocked Ledger, open the **Solana** app.
2. Press the right button to go to **Settings**, then press both buttons.
3. At **Allow blind sign**, select **Yes** and press both buttons.

Ledger's instructions are in [Allowing blind signing in the Solana (SOL) app](https://support.ledger.com/article/4499092909085-Allowing-blind-signing-in-the-Solana-SOL-app).

{% hint style="warning" %}
Blind signing means the Ledger approves transactions it cannot fully display. Only approve transactions you started yourself on sites you trust. Ledger recommends turning blind signing off when you are not using it. Firmware and Solana app updates turn it off automatically.
{% endhint %}

#### Troubleshooting

If Solflare doesn't find your Ledger, check that the Solana app is open on the device, Bluetooth is on, and the firmware and Solana app are up to date.
