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
