The Stacks app for Ledger empowers users to connect their Ledger devices to the Stacks Wallet (MacOS, Windows and Linux) for securely managing their STX holdings and participating in Stacking.

The Stacks app is available in Ledger Live. You'll need to install it there before proceeding to connect your Ledger Nano S or X device to the Stacks Wallet for authentication.

1. Download and open Ledger Live
2. Connect your Ledger device
3. Upgrade your firmware for Ledger Nano S to version 1.6.1 or Nano X to version 1.2.4-5 or greater.
4. Select "Settings" in the top-right corner of Ledger Live then the "Experimental features" tab
5. Toggle on "Developer Mode"
6. Go to "Manager" on the left-hand side of Ledger Live
7. Connect and enter your PIN on your Ledger device
8. Confirm "Allow Ledger manager" on device
9. Search "Stacks" and select "Install"
10. Return to Stacks Wallet and proceed with authentication

Important: 

• Don't turn on "Developer Mode" before upgrading your firmware, otherwise Ledger Live won't show you the dialog to upgrade. If you don't see the upgrade option, turn off "Developer Mode" before proceeding.
• Press both top buttons on your Ledger device simultaneously to proceed whenever it shows "Pending Ledger review" on the screen.
• Ledger Blue is not supported by the Stacks Wallet. You'll need to transfer your recovery phrase to a separate Nano S or X device.
