Using the Sia Ledger app with Sia Central

What is a Ledger Nano?
The Ledger Nano X and Ledger Nano S are hardware wallets created by Ledger. A hardware wallet stores the private keys to cryptocurrency on a separate device, making it much harder for malicious parties to steal them. In fact, the private keys never leave the hardware wallet, so they will remain secure even if the device is connected to a compromised computer. As long as you follow best practices when using your hardware wallet, it is virtually impossible for an attacker to steal your funds.
Hardware wallets are an important part of the crypto ecosystem, and they're one of the best ways to personally secure your coins. We're happy to be working with Ledger to offer our official Sia app for use on both the Ledger Nano X and Ledger Nano S.
To send and receive Siacoin on a Ledger device we will be using Sia Central's web wallet through the latest version of Google Chrome desktop. Sia Central's web wallet only supports Siacoin, sending and claiming Siafund dividends are not yet supported. The web wallet should always be accessed from https://wallet.siacentral.com. This article will be using a Ledger Nano X with bluetooth, but the steps are similar for USB or the Ledger Nano S.

Receiving Siacoin
After the initial setup is complete you can send Siacoin to your wallet. Select your wallet from the list on the right, then click the Receive button right under the balance.
Before sending Siacoin to an address it is important to manually verify that it belongs to your wallet.

After verifying the address you can send Siacoin to this address. If this is the first time you have sent Siacoin to a hardware wallet, try with a small amount first to make sure everything is setup correctly. When you receive Siacoin it will be marked as an unconfirmed transaction for 10 minutes to an hour. You will have to wait for at least one confirmation before you can spend your Siacoin.
Checking balance
Your balance and your last 500 transactions can be displayed at any time by selecting the wallet from the list on the left of the dashboard. You do not need your Ledger to view your balance. Just to verify addresses or send transactions.
Sending Siacoin
To send a transaction you will need your device. Select your wallet from the list on the left; then click Send. A dialog will pop up allowing you to input the recipient's address and the amount of Siacoin to send them. You can enter the amount in your display currency, or Siacoin.
Once you have entered the address and amount, click the Send button. You will now need to verify the transaction and sign it with your device.
