Background info
If you haven’t already gone through the Sending a Basic Transaction tutorial, we recommend doing that first, as this will be a less-detailed overview of the process, focusing on where the Ledger Hardware is required.
Additionally, as the name implies, this is a tutorial for sending a transaction for an account that is backed by a Ledger device.
Signing and Sending a Transaction with your Ledger Nano X, Stax and Flex
Begin by locating the Ledger-backed account from which you’d like to send a transaction.
- From your account view, tap Send to begin sending a transaction.
- Fill out the required transaction fields as any other transaction.
In preparation for signing the transaction with your Ledger, you’ll want to turn your Ledger on and open the Algorand app on the Ledger device. Once you’ve done so, you can tap Preview and Sign with Ledger.
If the connection is successful, Pera Wallet will send the transaction over to the Ledger to be signed. You’ll see prompts on the Ledger screen to scroll through the transaction, confirming the fields are correct. Once you’ve verified the transaction, confirm it on the Ledger. This will send the transaction back to Pera Wallet, where it’s ready to be sent to the network.
- This is where you’ll review the transaction on your Ledger device.
- Once you’ve sent the signed transaction back to Pera Wallet, tap Send.
That’s it! On the following screen, you’ll see the transaction being sent to the network. After a couple of seconds, the transaction will complete.
Additional Info
If your Ledger rejects the transaction, turn on Blind signing in the Algorand app’s settings on your Ledger, then try again.
During workflows that require a Ledger connection, there may be times when the workflow times out. This is normal behavior, and we’ll give you a helpful message to let you know what went wrong. You’ll always be able to preview transactions before sending.
