Hardware Wallets (also known as cold storage) are physical devices that are not connected your computer or to the internet directly and hence allows you to store private keys securely while also allowing you to access funds or do transactions with convenience. Fractal Confluence allows you to use a Ledger device for storing and transferring the assets on the chain. Follow this demo below to understand how to do this. The device used in this demo is Nanoledger X, but any hardware wallet should work fine with similar steps.
Step 1: Select Connect hardware wallet in your Metamask settings dropdown
Step 2: Select your device type. We will use ledger for this demo.
NOTE
Follow the onscreen instructions to unlock the ledger device and open the Ethereum application
Step 3: Allow Metamask to connect to you hardware device
NOTE
Make sure that any other applications (such as Ledger Live) which might be connected to your hardware wallet are closed
Step 4: Once connected, unlock your account.
NOTE
The unit shows up as ETH because we are using the Ethereum app, but this will not affect the actual transfers with the ledger
Step 5: Verify your new Hardware wallet account on the Fractal block explorer
Receiving funds to you ledger address would be the same process as any other transfer on the Fractal EVM layer
Setup the transfer and confirm
Check the confirmed status on Metamask
Verify that the transaction is successful on Fractal EVM block explorer
Step 1: Setup the transfer on Metamask
Step 2: Confirm the details and click continue
Step 3: Follow on screen instructions to plug your device and open Ethereum app
Step 4: The transaction should now pop up on your device
Step 5: Verify the transaction details
NOTE
Since we are using the Ethereum app, the amounts show up as ETH, but do not worry the actual transfer would be in FRA
Step 6: Approve the tx on the device by clicking both buttons together
Step 7: Check the confirmed status on Metamask and Block Explorer
