How it works

How to swap with Ledger

Plug your Ledger in by USB, unlock it and open the app for the coin you are sending, such as Bitcoin or Ethereum.
On Shieldz, choose Connect, then Ledger. Chrome, Edge or Brave asks once for permission to talk to the device.
Pick the coin you have and the coin you want, enter an amount and paste the address you want to receive at.
Check the amount and deposit address on the Ledger screen and approve. Shieldz tracks the swap until it lands.

Good to know

Before you swap

Ledger over USB needs a Chromium browser such as Chrome, Edge or Brave. Safari and Firefox do not support WebHID.

Shieldz charges 0.15% per swap. MetaMask's built-in swap charges 0.875% and Phantom's 0.85%. Compare on your own amount.
