Complete WAX Guide to the Ledger Wallet.
We have three types of wallet on WAX —
1. Wax Cloud Wallet.
2. Cold Wallet (Anchor)
3. Hardware Wallet Ledger X/S.
We have covered everything WCW in our previous guide here. This guide will be helpful for Investors with Hardware Wallet like Ledger X/S to store keys.
Pre-requisites
Wax Cloud Wallet.
Ledger Device with Ledger Live installed and running.
The guide is divided into three parts —
a. Setting up EOS Wallet on your Ledger — WAX Leverages EOSIO as a foundational technology.
b. Setting up/Creating WAX Account using Ledger.
c. Setup Anchor + Ledger wallet to interact with dApps like Atomic Hub.
Let’s get started.
a. Setting up EOS Wallet on your Ledger device.
- Install EOS from Ledger Live Manager. (Sidebar — Manager)
2. Open Ledger and open the EOS Application.
Congratulations, your wallet has been set.
Note: If you wish to allow contract data in transactions, please allow them going into the setting.
b. Setting up WAX Account Using Ledger.
- Go to wax.bloks.io and get the public key for Ledger.
2. Once your wallet is connected, it will ask for Search Indices; indices are number linked with Public Keys. You may put any number starting 0, as I have been using those keys, I have input digit 7.
Click on USB, or HID once you are done.
3. It will show a public key, copy and paste this key in a note pad, we would need this to create an account.
4. Logout from Ledger and Login with your Wax Cloud Wallet on wax.bloks.io
5. Go to Wallet — Create Account Menu in Side Bar to create an account.
6. In the Create Account section input a 12 Character (a-z, 1–5) account name for the WAX account. These human-readable account name is attached to Public key and is used to transfer/receive tokens, unlike other Blockchain.
Use names.ledgerwise.io for quick 12 character account name suggestions.
7. Copy any 12 character name and paste this to “New Account to create” blank space. Also, paste the public key saved in the third step in “New Accounts Public Owner Key” space.
8. Click on Create Account and Approve Transaction with default Net, CPU and RAM values to create an account.
Congratulations, you have created a new account using Ledger. You may transfer token to this account from exchange or from WCW account.
c. Use Anchor Wallet + Ledger to use dApps like AtomicHub.io
- Download Anchor using https://github.com/greymass/anchor
2. Go to Manage Wallet and Click on Import Account.
3. Click on import an existing account.
4. From the open window, select “Load from Ledger” and input the key index what you have used to create your account, and click on load accounts.
5. From the next screen, select @active key and click on the import account.
Voila, your WAX Ledger Account has been set up on Anchor.

About WAX
WAX has created a suite of blockchain-based tools upon which dApps, marketplaces, and native non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are built. These tools include services to support e-commerce operations such as the WAX Cloud Wallet, SSO and OAUTH, a native RNG service, and a developer portal. The resulting technology reportedly represents a blockchain architecture with 500 millisecond block times, is fee-less for customers, and leverages voting rewards to incentivize participation in the selection of block producers and proposals.
