Code Farmer's Daily - "Out of the Box" Start with Ledger Cold Wallet and Connect Keplr Wallet Complete Tutorial

It's finally time to get serious XD

This year, I got a Ledger cold wallet, which is this

-> https://shop.ledger.com/pages/ledger-nano-x

I look at the official website now that the price has returned to more than 5,000 Taiwan dollars, and I don't know why. But when I bought it at that time, there might have been a schedule. The price I bought was 4199.

Well, the price part can only be said that I earned it (laughs)

So what are the benefits of having a cold wallet? Specifically how to do it? Today's article, please read it slowly :D

Why would I start a cold wallet?

Actually, it's about my own situation

Since I became a validator, the accumulation speed of my virtual currency assets is frankly much faster than writing articles. In addition, since LikeCoin opened IBC, I will play OSMO's liquidity mining if I have something to do, otherwise I will be everywhere. Pledge, etc., anyway, I have done a lot of things

As a result, my virtual currency assets are more and more, and by the end of the year, it has exceeded 100,000 Taiwan dollars... Honestly, even my own is surprised.

So in view of this, I also let go of the rhetoric with my friends , so I started the first cold wallet in my life. Because no matter what, as long as there are risks, I can't ignore them.

I already have Keplr, why do I still need a cold wallet?

In a nutshell, security concerns

I don't know how much virtual currency assets you have, but the fact is that when your assets accumulate more and more, you will think about whether I will one day hit a phishing website and be deceived by the notation? Or simply point will I get hacked into the web and have the annotations stolen? wait wait wait

Then cold wallets are your best friend

Generally speaking, the wallets of browser plug-ins such as the so-called Keplr and MataMask (little fox) are all hot wallets. In terms of hot wallet, as long as there is an annotation word entered into the application, it can call up your information and display it

What about cold wallets? It's actually the same mechanism. But the difference is

For each transfer of the cold wallet, you must obtain the consent of the hardware. Instead of directly pressing "Approve" like the web page to send the transfer, the following screen will appear, which can only be done after confirmation on the hardware side. out transmission.

At this time, this picture will be presented on the hardware.

Then you have to press confirm transfer on the hardware before the transfer actually starts

Huh? Do you find it difficult to understand?

Well, anyway, as long as you have any transfer done under the cold wallet, you have to take the USB cable, connect it to your computer, and then every time you send data you have to pick up your cold wallet and press , that's probably the case

(It sounds exhausting XD)

out of the box

Well, it's finally time to unpack the box~ Let's take a look at the contents of the cold wallet!

The first is boxed

Then line up all the contents

In fact, I think Ledger is very caring. He also attached 3 small note cards with the box for you to write notes, then an original USB-TypeC cable , a set of stickers and a host

And if your computer is a Mac, remember to also do a USB-TypeC adapter!

Then we will come to the actual operation. The official operation of Setup even directly shoots a video demonstration, just do it.

Official action video:

Apple: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ledger-live-crypto-wallet/id1361671700

Since the official teaching is so clear, I will drift by...

Connect Keplr Wallet

Okay, I think this is the focus of our Cosmos chain players, that is, how to connect the Keplr wallet?

Because the popularity of the Keplr wallet and the Cosmos chain is not as popular as the wallets such as Little Fox, etc., so I searched for a round on the Internet and did not have any relevant audio-visual teachings. )

Well, let's get started

First, please open your Ledger Live, connect the cold wallet and enter this screen

Then in the red box, mark Cosmos search

Once found, click install

Open your Ledger when you're done, and this icon should appear in it

Then, press the left and right keys to enter the APP, the screen at this time

Connect your Ledger to the computer, click " + Add Account " of Keplr and then click Import ledger

Then, follow the steps below to complete it

This completes the setup :D

If you have a Keplr wallet on your computer, the web you have browsed should be universal. I have tested it here to playOSMO or go to https://stake.like.co/ . There is no problem!

Connect your phone to Keplr

Keplr has a mobile version, I think everyone should know more or less....

I happen to have two mobile phones in my hand, namely the IPhone X and Samsung A750 (Android 10), both of which have been connected, the steps are the same and both can be used

When you see the Set Done screen at the end, it means success!

other crap

Roughly speaking, the focus of this article is to teach you how to use the Ledger cold wallet to connect to Keplr. After all, the article is numb~ Isn't it just to share the parts that you haven't shared? XD

But I'm serious, in the future, virtual currency and virtual assets are likely to enter the era where everyone has to know. Can you imagine that children born after 2010 may be familiar with Web3 wallets? Can you imagine the situation in which the transfer does not necessarily have to go through the banking system in the future, but can be freely transferred internationally without any fees?

Gradually I believe that virtual assets will gradually be accepted by society. Maybe in the future, virtual assets will not be regarded as game tokens, but as a kind of personal assets.

Understanding cold wallets early is actually not only to protect your own assets, but also to invest in yourself, keep up with the times, and better understand the importance of virtual assets and protection of virtual assets, I think this is the most important

Then I will share the article on cold wallet here, I hope it will be helpful to everyone :D
