How to use Ledger Nano X with Rabby Wallet?

Connecting Ledger Nano X to Rabby Wallet

1. Ensure your Ledger Nano X is updated to the latest firmware version. Connect it to your computer using the provided USB cable and open the Ledger Live application to check for updates.

2. On the Ledger device, navigate to the Ethereum app or any other blockchain app you intend to use with Rabby Wallet. Open the app by pressing both buttons simultaneously.
3. Visit the official Rabby Wallet website and install the browser extension compatible with Chrome, Brave, or other Chromium-based browsers.
4. After installing the extension, click on the Rabby icon in your browser toolbar and select “Create Wallet.” Choose the option “Connect Hardware Wallet” and then select “Ledger.”
5. Follow the prompts in Rabby Wallet to detect your Ledger Nano X. Confirm the connection request directly on your Ledger device screen by approving it with the physical buttons.

Managing Assets Through Rabby Interface

1. Once connected, Rabby automatically detects accounts created on your Ledger for various chains including Ethereum, BSC, Polygon, and others. You can switch between them seamlessly within the Rabby interface.

2. When initiating a transaction, Rabby displays detailed insights such as gas fee breakdown, token approval risks, and contract interactions before signing. This transparency helps users avoid malicious contracts or excessive fees.
3. To send tokens or ETH, enter the recipient address, amount, and choose the network. Rabby will prompt you to confirm all details on both the browser window and the Ledger device.
4. Approve the transaction only after verifying every parameter on the Ledger’s secure screen. The private keys never leave the hardware wallet, ensuring maximum security.
5. Rabby also supports NFT management when linked with Ledger. View holdings, initiate transfers, and verify metadata directly through the wallet interface while maintaining offline key protection.

Security Best Practices for Ledger and Rabby Integration

1. Always download Rabby Wallet from its official domain to prevent phishing attacks. Check the URL carefully and verify the extension ID matches the one listed on Rabby’s verified social channels.

2. Before confirming any transaction on your Ledger, cross-check the recipient address character-by-character on the device’s display. Malicious sites may alter clipboard data to redirect funds.
3. Disable unnecessary apps on your Ledger Nano X to reduce attack surface. Only enable blockchain applications you actively use with Rabby.
4. Never share your 24-word recovery phrase with anyone, and avoid entering it on any digital platform. Rabby does not require this information during setup when using Ledger integration.
5. Regularly review active sessions and connected dApps via Rabby’s dashboard. Disconnect unused decentralized applications to minimize exposure to potential exploits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use multiple Ledger accounts with Rabby Wallet?Yes, Rabby allows you to import several accounts derived from your Ledger Nano X. During setup, you can browse additional addresses generated under the same seed phrase and add them individually for different purposes.

Does Rabby support staking when connected to Ledger?Rabby itself doesn’t provide staking functionality but integrates smoothly with trusted staking platforms like Lido or Rocket Pool. Transactions initiated through these platforms are signed securely via Ledger, preserving asset control.

What should I do if Rabby doesn’t recognize my Ledger device?Ensure the Ethereum app is open on your Ledger. Restart the browser, re-plug the USB cable, and try a different port. Update both Ledger Live and the Ledger firmware if needed. Also, check that browser permissions allow USB device access.

Is it safe to connect Ledger to Rabby on public Wi-Fi?While the Ledger keeps keys isolated, using public networks increases the risk of man-in-the-middle attacks on transaction data. It's safer to use a trusted, private internet connection when interacting with dApps through Rabby.
