Solana (SOL) - wefdenb123/Ledger-Device-Solutions-563 GitHub Wiki

This article will help you set up your first Solana (SOL) account with your Ledger device and the Ledger Live app.

I can’t see my Solana tokens in Ledger Live

  • Currently, the Ledger Live app does not support Solana tokens. As a result, while you can safely send tokens (like USDC, Tether USDT, BONK, PYTH, Jupiter JUP, WEN, Wormhole ‘W’ token, Mother Iggy MOTHER, etc.) to your Solana (SOL) account, these tokens will not be visible in the Ledger Live app. However, you can securely view and manage your tokens by connecting your Ledger device to Solflare or Phantom, which are Ledger-compatible third-party applications. 
  • Please note, that when sending Solana tokens through Solflare or Phantom, you’ll need to enable ‘blind-signing’ in the Solana (SOL) app settings on your Ledger device.

Please download the last update of Ledger Live Application:

Rent on Send and Staking Solana

Ledger Live Mobile 3.18 and Desktop 2.73.1 now take into account the Rent when making transactions with SOL. This solves the issue users were facing when doing a sendMax or stakeMax. Learn more about Solana’s rent here. 

If you’re still having trouble with sendMax or stakeMax functions, please make sure Ledger Live is up-to-date.

Sending SOL coins with your Ledger device and Ledger Live

You can manage your Solana account in Ledger Live to send and receive SOL coins. To do this, simply go to your account in Ledger Live and select either ‘Send‘ or ‘Receive‘ to perform these transactions using your Ledger device.

Solana addresses are case-sensitive, and funds sent to a Solana address that is not properly cased will result in permanent loss of funds. If you are sending or receiving Solana (SOL), make sure to double-check that the address you enter exactly matches that of the destination. When in doubt, perform a test transfer first to verify!

Please note that while you can also receive Solana tokens (like USDC, Tether USDT, BONK, etc.) into your Solana (SOL) account, these tokens will not be visible in the Ledger Live app. However, you can securely view and manage your tokens by connecting your Ledger device to Solflare or Phantom, which are Ledger-compatible third-party applications.

Solana account not funded message

An “Account not funded” warning will appear when sending SOL to a brand new Solana account. It warns you that this account is empty and not yet known by the Solana network. Sending to a non-funded account is perfectly safe, just make sure to double-check that the account address is correct then proceed.

 When signing Solana transactions with your Ledger device, you will notice the Pubkey length feature that allows you to set long or short settings:

  • The short setting will display a truncated transaction address and only reveal its beginning and end.
  • The long setting displays the full address.

From a security perspective, Ledger recommends using the long setting so that you have a full overview of the address when verifying a transaction.

Swapping Solana (SOL) in Ledger Live

You can securely swap Solana (SOL) coins for other cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), USDT Tether, XRP, Dogecoin (DOGE) and more, using the Swap feature in Ledger Live. As of December 2023, a minimum of 0.93 SOL is required to initiate a swap transaction from your Solana (SOL) account.
