Which Coins Does Ledger Support, and What to Watch When Adding New Ones?
Overview: Which coins does Ledger support, and what should you watch for when adding a new one?
Key takeaway: Ledger assets stay in user self-custody. Keep to official channels, keep the private key offline, protect the recovery phrase, and migrate at the first sign of trouble.
Points / steps:
- Confirm the target coin on the official supported-coin list.
- Install the matching app if needed and keep firmware up to date.
- When adding an account, verify the address on the device screen.
- For unsupported coins, use watch-only mode in a compatible wallet.
- If you see an 'unsupported' prompt, never import the recovery phrase into a third-party site.
Safety reminder: Never enter your recovery phrase or PIN into software or websites; trust only the domain ledger.com and official apps, and if anything looks suspicious, stop immediately, disconnect, and migrate assets with a new recovery phrase.
