Send & Receive 14
Receive crypto assets You can receive crypto assets on accounts managed by your Ledger Nano X device by generating a receive address in the Ledger Live app. Security tip Always send a small amount first.

Before you begin ✓ Ledger Live should be ready to use. ✓ Check that the right app is installed on your Ledger Nano X. Ex: install the Bitcoin app to receive Bitcoin. Instructions 1. 2.
Why receive addresses change You've generated an address for the selected account, that you can share with the sender. ● Blockchains based on Bitcoin are public networks. For optimal privacy, the addresses of those crypto assets should generally not be re-used after a transaction. ● Ledger Live generates new addresses for crypto assets based on Bitcoin. ● For crypto assets based on Bitcoin, the previous addresses do remain valid, but they don't offer an optimal level of privacy.
5. Carefully verify all transaction details on your device. 6. Press both buttons to validate the transaction if everything is correct. The transaction is then signed and sent to the network for confirmation. 7. Click View operation details to track the transaction until it gets confirmed. Countervalue The countervalue you enter is converted to the amount of the crypto asset to send through an intermediary exchange to Bitcoin using the exchange rate providers selected in Settings.
Unverified addresses Even if Ledger Live can provide receiving addresses without a Ledger device, these addresses provide suboptimal security. Choosing to use unverified addresses comes at your own risk. Learn more ● ● ● Learn how to s ecure your PIN code and recovery phrase.
