Do I need a hardware wallet to use Conflux Wallet?

No. Conflux Wallet is fully functional as a software wallet. Hardware-wallet pairing is recommended for larger balances or anyone who wants offline key storage. Many users keep small spending balances in the software wallet and large holdings on a paired hardware wallet.

Which hardware wallet should I get for CFX?

Ledger Nano X is the most flexible (USB-C and Bluetooth, Conflux app available via Ledger Live). Ledger Nano S Plus is the cheapest option and works fine. Trezor Model T and Safe 3 work via Trezor Suite — Conflux eSpace is supported, Core Space support depends on firmware version. The differences are convenience, not security.

Can I use my existing Ledger or Trezor with Conflux Wallet?

Yes. If you already have a Ledger or Trezor with a seed phrase, Conflux Wallet pairs with the existing device — no need to reset or generate a new seed. Your existing accounts remain untouched; the wallet just gains access to the Conflux-related accounts derived from your existing seed.

Does the Conflux Ledger app cost money?

No. The Conflux app is free to install via Ledger Live. The hardware wallet itself costs money (Ledger Nano S Plus from ~$80, Nano X from ~$150, Stax from ~$280). Trezor pricing is similar.

What if my Ledger or Trezor breaks?

Buy a replacement, restore using your 12 or 24-word seed phrase, and your accounts return. The seed phrase IS the wallet — the hardware device is just a secure container. This is why protecting the seed phrase matters more than protecting the device.

Hardware Wallet Support

Pair your Ledger or Trezor with Conflux Wallet. Keys stay offline.

Ledger Nano S, Nano X, Stax · Trezor Model T, Safe 3 · Keys never leave the device

A hardware wallet is a separate physical device that stores your private keys offline. When you sign a transaction, the device signs internally and sends back the signature — your private key never reaches the connected computer or the wallet software. For significant balances, this is the recommended setup. Conflux Wallet pairs with Ledger and Trezor devices using the manufacturers' standard integration flows — download the wallet to get started, or read the broader security overview.

Setup walkthroughs

Set up a Ledger device

Connect your Ledger device. Unlock it with your PIN.
Open Ledger Live. Go to My Ledger → App catalog → search "Conflux". Install the Conflux app on the device.
Open Conflux Wallet on your computer. Go to Settings → Hardware Wallet → Connect.
The wallet detects the Ledger. Follow the on-device prompts to confirm pairing.
Conflux Wallet imports your accounts. CFX (Core Space and eSpace) and any other supported tokens populate.

From this point, every transaction requires you to confirm on the Ledger device's screen and physical buttons. The private keys never leave the device.

Set up a Trezor device

Connect your Trezor device.
Install Trezor Bridge if your operating system requires it (Trezor Suite handles this automatically).
Open Conflux Wallet → Settings → Hardware Wallet → Connect → choose Trezor.
Confirm pairing on the Trezor's screen.
Conflux Wallet imports your accounts.

Trezor's Conflux support handles eSpace (EVM) directly. Core Space support depends on your Trezor firmware version — the wallet flags any limitations during setup.

What hardware-wallet pairing actually changes

Private keys stay on the device. The private key is generated inside the hardware wallet's secure element and never leaves it. Conflux Wallet only ever receives signed transactions from the device.
Transactions require physical confirmation. Every signing action requires pressing buttons on the hardware device. Remote attackers cannot sign transactions even if they control the connected computer.
Seed phrase is generated on the device. Your hardware wallet's 12 or 24 words are generated by the device's secure element, displayed on its screen, never typed into your computer.
Recovery is via the hardware wallet's seed phrase. If you lose the device, you can recover the same accounts by entering the seed phrase into a new device — Ledger to Ledger, or Ledger seed phrase to a different compatible wallet.

What hardware wallets don't protect against

Lost or destroyed seed phrase. If you lose the hardware device AND the seed phrase, the funds are unrecoverable. Storing the seed phrase securely matters as much with a hardware wallet as without one.
Approving malicious transactions. If you sign a transaction whose intent you don't understand, the hardware wallet will sign it — it confirms intent, not safety. Always read the on-device transaction details before confirming.
Compromised supply chain. Buy hardware wallets only from the manufacturer or authorized resellers. Used or third-party-sold devices may be tampered with.
