SushiSwap is a popular decentralized exchange (DEX) where you can swap tokens, provide liquidity, and stake for rewards—all while keeping full control of your crypto with a Ledger hardware wallet.

In this guide, you’ll learn:
✅ How to safely connect Ledger Live to SushiSwap
✅ Using WalletConnect vs. MetaMask with Ledger
✅ Security best practices for DeFi transactions

Please download the last update of Ledger Live Application:

1. Ledger Live for Windows 10/11

Before You Start: What You’ll Need

A Ledger Nano S, Nano X, or Nano S Plus (with firmware updated).
Ledger Live installed (download here).
The Ethereum (or other supported network) app installed on your Ledger.
A supported browser (Chrome, Firefox, Brave, or Edge).

Method 1: Connecting via WalletConnect (Mobile & Desktop)

Step 1: Open SushiSwap

Go to SushiSwap’s official website (always verify the URL!).

Step 2: Click “Connect Wallet”

Choose WalletConnect from the list of supported wallets.

Step 3: Select “Ledger Live” as Your Wallet

A QR code will appear.
Open Ledger Live on your phone, go to Discover > WalletConnect.
Scan the QR code.

Step 4: Approve the Connection on Your Ledger

Your Ledger device will ask you to confirm the connection.
Verify the details and approve.

✅ Done! You can now use SushiSwap securely with your Ledger.

Method 2: Connecting via MetaMask (Desktop Recommended)

Since Ledger Live doesn’t natively support direct DApp connections on desktop, MetaMask acts as a bridge.

Step 1: Set Up MetaMask with Ledger

Install MetaMask (official extension).
Open MetaMask and select “Connect Hardware Wallet” > Ledger.
Choose your account and connect.

Step 2: Connect MetaMask to SushiSwap

Go to SushiSwap.
Click “Connect Wallet” and choose MetaMask.
Approve the connection in MetaMask.

Step 3: Confirm Transactions on Your Ledger

Every swap, stake, or liquidity action requires manual approval on your Ledger device.
Always verify transaction details before signing!

Security Best Practices

⚠️ Never enter your Ledger seed phrase anywhere online—only on the device itself.
⚠️ Double-check contract addresses—fake SushiSwap sites exist.
⚠️ Revoke unused token approvals using Revoke.cash.
⚠️ Use a dedicated DeFi wallet—don’t link your main savings account.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

🔹 “Device Not Detected” → Try a different USB cable/port.
🔹 “Transaction Failed” → Increase gas fees in MetaMask.
🔹 “Bluetooth Connection Drops” (Nano X) → Use USB instead.

Why Use Ledger with SushiSwap?

Full self-custody – Your keys never leave the device.
Secure approvals – No blind signing by default.
Protection against hacks – Even if MetaMask is compromised, your Ledger requires physical confirmation.

Final Thoughts

Connecting Ledger Live to SushiSwap lets you trade and farm without risking your private keys. Whether you use WalletConnect (mobile) or MetaMask (desktop), always verify transactions on your Ledger screen.

🔐 Stay safe and happy swapping!
