Starting now you can safely store mainnet FTM on your Ledger Nano S and Nano X.
The Fantom Ledger wallet app is currently available via Ledger Live in Experimental Mode.
Please note that the Fantom Ledger app supports only FTM Opera mainnet tokens. Do not send ERC20 or BEP2 as you will lose your tokens.
If you want to use a Fantom address you created earlier, you need to use the restore from recovery phrase procedure using mnemonic phrase you got from the Fantom wallet. If you’re setting up a fresh address, just follow regular set up as new device procedure.

Next, if you see the text “Pending Ledger review” click both buttons on the top of the device to skip that screen. This is a normal Ledger procedure for Experimental apps.

In the following screen, you will see a list of FTM accounts on the Ledger. Pick one and will now have accessed the wallet with your Ledger Nano.
That’s it! We built the Fantom Ledger app with a strong emphasis on security and it requires more button presses compared to more simple and less secure Ledger apps.
