Using Ledger#

Sending Crypto Assets#

Assuming your account on the Ledger device has some CFX tokens, the steps below show how to make a CFX transfer on Conflux eSpace.

Note: If you do not have CFX, you can purchase at one of the exchanges listed here.

  1. Make sure you have already imported your Ledger account into your MetaMask wallet by following the steps in the previous section. Quit Ledger Live if it is currently opened.
  2. Connect your Ledger Nano S or Ledger Nano X device to your computer through USB.
  3. Unlock your device by entering your PIN.
  4. Navigate to the Conflux eSpace app on your device and press both buttons to open it.
  5. In MetaMask, select your Ledger account (e.g., "Ledger 1").
  6. Click "Send" and enter the recipient address (should start with 0x).
  7. Under "Amount", enter the amount of CFX to transfer and click "Next".
  8. Double check the transaction details, and click "Confirm".
  9. Your Ledger device will now show "Review transaction". Carefully review the transaction amount and receipient address by repeatedly pressing the right button on your device.
  10. If everything looks correct, press both buttons at the "Accept and send" screen to approve the transaction. Otherwise, press both buttons at the "Reject" screen to reject the transaction.
  11. After the transaction has been approved, it is now signed and sent to the Conflux Network. You can see the transaction status in MetaMask. If you click on the transaction and click "View on block explorer", you can see more details on Conflux Scan.

Receiving Crypto Assets#

In order to receive CFX and ERC20 tokens to your Ledger wallet account, simply copy your address from MetaMask and share it with the sender. You only need to sign transactions using your Ledger device when sending funds, not when receiving them. MetaMask can also provide you with an easy-to-use QR code under "Account details".

Obtaining CFX#

There are multiple ways of obtaining CFX and other tokens on Conflux eSpace.

  • You can obtain CFX and withdraw it to Conflux eSpace through a variety of centralized exchanges (e.g., KuCoin).
  • You can also use a decentralized exchange like Swappi.
  • Finally, you can also transfer crypto assets from other chains to Conflux eSpace through cross-chain apps like Multichain, meson.fi, cBridge, or the Conflux eSpace Bridge.

Checking Your Balance#

The easiest way to check your CFX and ERC20 token balances held by your Ledger account is to simply view them in MetaMask.
