Overview

Ledger enables secure, hardware-based key management for the VeChain ecosystem. Developers can integrate Ledger devices into apps and tools via the Sync desktop wallet, providing cold-storage protection for smart contract interactions, asset management, and onchain governance.

Ledger protects private keys inside a secure element, ensuring they never leave the device. Signing is performed locally on the hardware wallet, preventing exposure to browser or device-level threats.

Currently, Ledger integration with VeChain is supported through Sync desktop and the official VeChain Ledger app, making it ideal for production wallets, contract deployment, and long-term storage.

Integration Features

• VeChainThor Mainnet Support: Fully compatible with VET, VTHO, and VIP-180 tokens.

• Secure Transaction Signing: Execute token transfers, contract calls, and governance actions directly via hardware.

• Sync Wallet Interface: Interact with Ledger via VeChain’s Sync desktop wallet.

• Offline Key Protection: Keys never leave the Ledger device.

• Developer & Treasury Ready: Ideal for multisig deployments, validator wallets, and admin accounts.

Getting Started

Step 1: Install Ledger Live
Download Ledger Live and ensure your device firmware is up to date.

Step 2: Install the VeChain App
Open Ledger Live → “My Ledger” → Install the VeChain app on your Nano device.

Step 3: Use Sync Desktop Wallet
Download Sync and connect your Ledger device. You can now view balances, send VET, or sign transactions securely through the Ledger interface.

Use Cases

• Wallet Applications
  Integrate Ledger functionality for secure token storage and transfers using Sync.

• App Deployment
  Use Ledger as a signing authority for smart contract deployments or upgrades.

• Treasury & Governance
  Protect high-value multisig or DAO wallets with hardware-based signing workflows.

• Staking & Resource Management
  Secure VTHO allocations and staking flows with cold storage control.

Developer Notes

• Ledger does not currently expose a dedicated JavaScript or Go SDK for VeChain.

• Signing flows are facilitated via Sync desktop wallet, which acts as a bridge between apps and Ledger hardware.

• Web-based signing through Ledger (e.g., in VeWorld or browser extensions) is not yet supported.

Ledger provides a secure foundation for building applications and infrastructure on VeChain that require strong key management, contract-level control, or governance participation. While SDK-level integrations are not yet exposed, the Sync desktop wallet offers developers and enterprises a trusted path to bring hardware security into their VeChain applications.
