# Connect a Ledger Wallet

This guide shows you how to connect a funded Ledger account to your Solflare wallet. It assumes you already have a wallet setup on a Ledger device and there is a SOL balance on at least one account.

If you haven’t done that yet, you can set up a new wallet using the Ledger Live app by following the steps in [this guide](https://academy.solflare.com/guides/how-to-generate-a-wallet-with-a-ledger-device-using-the-ledger-live-app-mobile/). For this guide, you’ll need to have downloaded Solflare to your mobile device. You can do so at the links below.

**Solflare**: [iOS](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/solflare/id1580902717) | [Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.solflare.mobile)

### Step 1

* Open the Solflare mobile app and click the **Ledger button** on the home screen.
* **Allow** Solflare to use your mobile device’s Bluetooth.
* Click **I Paired My Device** once you have done so.
* Then click on the device that you are trying to connect.

### Step 2

As long as you have a funded account on your device, Solflare will automatically detect it.

* Once your accounts appear on the screen, click **Import All**.

Clicking **Import All** will create a new Ledger-controlled account within Solflare.

If you wish to utilize the full security advantages that a hardware wallet provides, please be sure to transfer your assets from the mnemonic-based account (the one you have been using up until this point) to the newly created, Ledger-controlled account.

### Step 4

In order to interact with SPL tokens and smart contracts, **enable blind signing** by following these quick steps on your device (as per Ledger’s support [article](https://support.ledger.com/hc/en-us/articles/4499092909085-Allowing-blind-signing-in-the-Solana-SOL-app?docs=true)).

1. Connect and unlock your Ledger device.
2. Open the **Solana** application.\
   Your device displays **Application is ready**.
3. Press the right button to navigate to **Settings**. Then press both buttons to validate.\
   Your Ledger device displays **Allow blind sign**.
4. Select **Yes** then press both buttons.\
   Your device displays **Application is ready** again. You’re done.

{% hint style="warning" %}

* Although blind signing is required for using Solana, it is technically an advanced feature.
* It is recommended to disable it after use.
* Since you will need it to be turned on so often when using Solana, please be cognizant of when it is turned on or off.
* Any firmware update or Solana Live app update will automatically disable blind signing.
  {% endhint %}

### You’re All Set!
