How To Connect Ledger to Newton
Introduction
The Ledger Nano S is a relatively affordable hardware wallet that connects to your mobile phone or computer and stores your cryptocurrency. It’s a great way to store your crypto in an offline, secure environment (aka cold storage) — but what do you do with it once you’ve purchased one? This guide will walk you through how to connect your brand new Ledger Nano S device to Newton Wallet.
Open Newton wallet
Open the Newton app on your device (you can download it here).
Enter your passphrase if prompted, then select the account you want to use and tap “Load”.
If applicable, select the network you want to use— BTC, ETH, etc.
Select Ledger option
- Select the Ledger option in the drop-down menu.
- Press the button that says “Connect Ledger”.
- If you do not see this button, make sure your Ledger is unlocked and powered on. You should also make sure that it has been added to your desktop app as an authorized device (see figure 2).
- You will now be able to see all of your accounts on Newton, including those on your Ledger device (see figure 3).
Connect Ledger

- Open the Ledger Manager app on your computer and select the device you want to connect, then click “Connect” (see screenshot below).
- Open the Newton Wallet app on your mobile phone, go to [Settings] – [Wallets], and select [Ledger]. If this option is not available yet and you have set up Ethereum Classic in Newton before, it will be available automatically after connecting the Ledger wallet for the first time (see screenshot below). If there is no “Ethereum Classic” option listed under [Wallets], please follow these instructions: https://docs-newtonium-io/docs/how_to_connect_ethereum_classic#from_the_homepage

Once connected, you’ll be able to send and receive tokens from any Newton user—just tap the crypto symbol in your wallet screen and hit “+.” Then just type out the desired amount of tokens into an email address field (you can also use QR codes if someone doesn’t have Newton) and press send.
