How to Manage VeChain (VET) in Ledger Live

Step 1: Set Up Ledger Live & Update Firmware

  1. Download Ledger Live (if not installed).
  2. Connect your Ledger Nano S/X and update its firmware.

Step 2: Install the VeChain App on Your Ledger

  1. Open Ledger Live → Manager.
  2. Search for “VeChain (VET)” and install the app.

Step 3: Add a VeChain Account in Ledger Live

  1. In Ledger Live, click “Add Account”.
  2. Select VeChain (VET) → Continue.
  3. Unlock your Ledger and open the VeChain app.
  4. Confirm account creation on your device.

Now, you can: ✔ Receive VET (share your Ledger VeChain address). ✔ Send VET (requires physical confirmation on Ledger).

How to Stake VET & Generate VTHO

VeChain does not have traditional staking, but holding VET generates VeThor (VTHO)—used for transaction fees.

Method 1: Passive VTHO Earnings

Method 2: Sync with VeChainThor Wallet (for Advanced Users)

  1. Download VeChainThor Wallet (mobile).
  2. Choose “Hardware Wallet” → Ledger.
  3. Connect via Bluetooth (Nano X) or USB (Nano S).
  4. Monitor VTHO generation & manage transactions.

Security Best Practices

🔒 Always verify transactions on your Ledger before signing. 🔒 Never share your 24-word recovery phrase. 🔒 Bookmark official VeChain sites to avoid phishing scams. 🔒 Keep Ledger firmware & VeChain app updated.

Limitations

  • No direct VTHO tracking in Ledger Live – Use VeChain explorers.
  • Ledger Nano S requires USB connection (Nano X supports Bluetooth).
  • No in-app swapping – Must use exchanges like Binance or Sync for trading.

Conclusion

Using Ledger Live with VeChain ensures your VET tokens remain secure while passively generating VTHO. For advanced features like dApp interactions, connecting your Ledger to VeChainThor Wallet provides additional functionality without sacrificing security.
