Ledger Setup for Zilliqa 2.0
Quick take
• Zilliqa 2.0 runs a native EVM layer, so a Ledger device can sign ZIL transactions with the Ethereum app—no separate “Zilliqa 2.0” app is required. blog.zilliqa.com
• The EVM chain-ID for Zilliqa 2.0 mainnet is the native chain-ID OR’ed with 0x8000 (→ 32769 / 0x8001). dev.zilliqa.com
1 ▪ Prepare Your Ledger
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1.1 | Update firmware and the Ethereum app in Ledger Live. |
| 1.2 | On the Ledger device, open Ethereum app ➜ Settings ➜ Blind Signing = “Enabled.” |
| 1.3 | Keep the device unlocked and the Ethereum app open. |
2 ▪ Add Zilliqa 2.0 to MetaMask
-
In your browser wallet, click Networks → Add Network manually.
-
Fill in:
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Network Name | Zilliqa EVM (Mainnet) |
| RPC URL | https://api.zilliqa.com/ (replace with official RPC once live) |
| Chain ID | 32769 |
| Currency Symbol | ZIL |
| Block Explorer | https://viewblock.io/zilliqa |
- Save. The wallet now recognises ZIL on Zilliqa 2.0.
3 ▪ Connect Ledger to the Wallet
-
In MetaMask → Connect Hardware Wallet → Ledger.
-
Choose the Ethereum derivation path (m/44’/60’/…).
-
Confirm the displayed address on your Ledger screen.
-
The Ledger account appears with a ZIL balance once tokens arrive.
4 ▪ Send or Migrate ZIL
-
From Legacy to 2.0: follow Moonlet’s migration flow to send ZIL to your EVM-enabled Ledger address.
-
Direct deposit: send ZIL (EVM coin) from an exchange/wallet that already supports Zilliqa 2.0.
5 ▪ Stake via Moonlet Dashboard
-
Go to stake.moonlet.io → Connect Wallet → Ledger.
-
Select Zilliqa 2.0 network.
-
Enter the amount to stake, click Stake, then Confirm on Ledger.
-
The Ledger signs the transaction in the Ethereum app; once mined (~2 s block time) you’ll see an active delegation.
6 ▪ Tips & Troubleshooting
-
Legacy app still matters for Zilliqa 1.0 actions (claim/unstake). Keep the native Zilliqa app installed until you finish migrating.
-
If MetaMask can’t detect the Ledger, enable WebHID or Ledger Live bridge in advanced settings.
-
Always verify the chain-ID = 32769 in the wallet before signing.
-
Blind-signing must stay ON; otherwise EIP-712 signatures are rejected.
7 ▪ FAQ
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Do I need two Ledger apps? | No. Use the Ethereum app for Zilliqa 2.0. Keep the legacy Zilliqa app only while you still operate on Zilliqa 1.0. |
| Will Ledger Live show my ZIL balance? | Not at launch. Use MetaMask (or Moonlet Dashboard) until Ledger Live adds native Zilliqa 2.0 support. |
| What if I already stored ZIL on a Ledger with the old app? | The private key is the same. After migrating funds to 2.0, simply access them through the Ethereum app + MetaMask or Phantom. |
You’re now ready to manage and stake ZIL securely on Zilliqa 2.0 with your Ledger device.
