⏲️Using Ledger on Spin

A detailed guide on how to use the Ledger wallet to connect and use Spin Products.

Introduction

There are two main ways to use Ledger:

1. Using "Near Wallet".

2. Using the native Ledger support.

At this time, "Near Wallet" is the only option available for spot and perps. However, DeFi Option Vaults support both NEAR Wallet and native Ledger connection.

Before you start, make sure you have a Ledger with the NEAR application installed. You can install the NEAR application using Ledger Live.

Using NEAR Wallet

1. Open trade.spin.fi and tap the “Connect to NEAR” button.

10. (Optional) If you want to import an existing account that was created by Ledger Live, you may need to change the HD Path in "Advanced Options". You can find your account's HD Path in Ledger Live by going to “Accounts” → “NEAR” → “Edit account” → “Advanced” (See attached images). You can read about HD Path here.

    

    

    
11. In the “NEAR Wallet”, tap on “Authorize”
12. Next, confirm the public key on your Ledger device.

13. Select the account you wish to import and tap on “Next”.
14. Tap on “Connect” to link your account with Spin.fi

Sometimes NEAR Wallet can become stuck and not allow you to connect your account. If you encounter this problem, try again later.

Done!
