Ledger
Use a Ledger hardware wallet with Terp Network via Cosmos app and Keplr or CLI
Ledger
Ledger keeps private keys on hardware. On Terp Network you typically use the Cosmos app with Keplr or terpd.
Prerequisites
- Ledger device + Ledger Live updated
- Cosmos app installed on the device
- USB/WebHID permissions in the browser for Keplr
With Keplr
- Install Keplr.
- In Keplr: Import Ledger (or connect Ledger from account menu).
- Unlock Ledger, open Cosmos app (“Cosmos ready”).
- Approve browser access when prompted.
- Add Terp Network as in the Keplr guide; sign txs on-device.
With terpd CLI
# List Ledger keys (Cosmos app open)
terpd keys add ledger-main --ledger
# Show address
terpd keys show ledger-main -aSign transactions with --from ledger-main (device confirms).
Safety notes
Validator consensus keys are ed25519 and are a different story (TMKMS / HSM). Ledger + Keplr is for account / operator secp256k1 keys, not continuous block signing.
- Prefer hardware for funds you care about
- Verify chain ID and fee denom on-device before approving
- See Key safety and TMKMS for validator ops
