Frequently asked questions

What is an EVM network?

An EVM network refers to a blockchain that is compatible with Ethereum. EVM tokens such as ERC20 tokens, or BEP20 tokens are all EVM-compatible which means that they can be safely stored on any EVM network.

I withdrew some EVM tokens from an exchange but they’re not showing in Ledger Live

It’s very likely that you provided the correct address but selected the wrong network for your withdrawal. For example – sending ETH via the Binance Smart Chain network:

A good rule of thumb is to always select the native network for the selected coins. For example: select the Ethereum network for ETH and ERC20 tokens, select the Solana network for SOL, Polygon for POL, etc.

I withdrew my coins onto the wrong network, are they lost?

No, as long as you provided an EVM address generated by Ledger Live and verified on your Ledger screen, your coins are not lost.

How can I find my coins?

  1. Open your exchange account and head to the Withdraw(al) section.

  5. Check the name of the block explorer. For example:
    1. Etherscan: your coins have been withdrawn onto the Ethereum network.
    2. BSCscan: your coins have been withdrawn onto the Binance Smart Chain (BNB) network.
    3. Polygonscan: your coins have been withdrawn onto the Polygon network.
    4. Cronos: your coins have been withdrawn onto the Cronos network.
    5. Arbiscan: your coins have been withdrawn onto the Arbitrum network.

I sent Tron tokens like USDT to my Tron account but it’s not showing in Ledger Live

Your Tron account needs to be activated. 

I can see my coins on the wrong network, how do I transfer them to the correct network?

  • Option 1 – Send your coins back to the exchange then withdraw your coins again. This time, make sure to select the correct network.
  • Option 2 – Use a bridge like Hop Protocol or cBridge. Please keep in mind that bridging tokens counts as a transaction and consumes fees.
