This guide will help you connect your Ledger with Leap for all Cosmos chains including Ethermint chains like Injective, Dymension EVMOS, etc.
Leap supports importing addresses from both Cosmos and EVM Ledger apps, enabling access to all top Cosmos chains.
Connect hardware wallet
Before we dive into the connection process, ensure your Ledger device is ready to go by setting it up and installing the Cosmos app and Ethereum app (optionally to add support for Injective, Dymension & Evmos) on your Ledger device. If you're new to this or need a quick walkthrough, please check out these handy guides:
Congrats on setting up your Ledger device. Now, we can continue with the tutorial to connect your Ledger with Leap.
Connect your ledger device to your computer via a USB cable.
Enter your PIN into the ledger device to log in.
Open the Cosmos app on your ledger device.
Now click Import ledger
Click on the “Connect hardware wallet” button on the Leap Cosmos Extension, you will be presented with a screen looking for your wallet.
You will see a pop-up as shown in the image if your USB is properly connected and you have the Cosmos app opened on your Ledger device. Make sure your device is unlocked as well
Once you connect your Ledger Nano S/Nano X device, you will be prompted to click Next and go to selecting wallets you want to importALT
6. You can select one or multiple wallets to import in this screen. All the chains that the Cosmos Ledger app supports will be imported (all major chains including Cosmos Hub, Osmosis, Stargaze, Neutron, Noble, dYdX, Kujira, etc)
You will be asked to optionally choose to import your addresses for the selected wallets in the previous step for EVM chains: Injective, Dymension & Evmos. [You can also skip this step and re-import it at a later point of time]
This step is required since these chains require the Ethereum app on Ledger and can not be added via the Cosmos appALT
You can now close your Cosmos app and open your Ethereum app on your Ledger to import addresses for the above-mentioned EVM chains
You can open your Ethereum app on Ledger and click Next to import addresses for the previously selected wallets for Injective, Dymension, and EvmosALT
After this, you will be presented with a “Choose a password” screen to enter a password that you can use to log in. Click on the “Proceed” button when done.
Password is used to lock your extension wallet. Please remember your password to be able to lock and unlock your wallet seamlesslyALT
That’s it. Your Leap Wallet is now ready to use and is now accessible by clicking on the Leap Cosmos Wallet extension icon in the toolbar.
Connecting EVM Ledger wallet
If you are an existing Leap user and have imported your Ledger previously, but have not connected EVM wallets yet, you will see a screen similar to what is mentioned below. You can click the Connect EVM wallet button and you will be taken to Step number 8 as mentioned above where you can import addresses for Injective, Dymension & Evmos
