This page explains which cryptocurrencies and networks are supported by the hardware wallet covered in this guide. I’ve tested dozens of chains over months and cross-checked protocol documentation and third-party wallet guides to make sure each statement below matches available integrations. What you’ll get: a practical map of where native on-device support exists, when a third-party wallet is required, and the typical limitations (staking, NFTs, privacy features).
I rely on protocol docs and wallet integration pages when I verify support (examples: Solana hardware wallet docs, Monero integration pages, ERC‑20 token standard). Links to chain docs and companion-app guidance appear where relevant.
Support generally arrives in two ways:
But which method you get depends on the chain’s transaction format and ecosystem tooling. Some ecosystems (simple UTXO chains) map neatly to on-device apps; smart-contract-rich ecosystems often need a richer UI handled off-device.
And because the device only signs transactions (it doesn’t hold custody for you), you remain non-custodial—the private keys never leave the secure element.
(If you want the companion-app walkthrough, see the companion app guide: companion app guide.)
| Network / token type | How it’s commonly supported | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Bitcoin (BTC) | On-device app + companion/desktop wallets | Native support for transaction signing and multiple account types. Lightning requires node/third-party integrations. |
| Ethereum (ETH) + ERC‑20 | On-device app + broad third-party compatibility | ERC‑20 tokens are managed via Ethereum accounts; complex DeFi needs a browser/mobile wallet bridge (EIP workflows). See ERC‑20 spec (EIP‑20). |
| Solana (SOL) | On-device app + Solana wallets | NFTs, staking, and SPL tokens are supported through compatible Solana wallets. See Solana docs. |
| Cardano (ADA) | On-device app + staking wallets | Staking supported via compatible wallet integrations. |
| XRP (XRP) | On-device app | Basic send/receive supported; some advanced features handled by wallets. |
| Monero (XMR) | Primarily via dedicated Monero GUIs | Privacy-coin flows rely on Monero-specific wallet integration for signing. |
| Tezos, Polkadot, Tron, Stellar, Zcash | Mix of on-device and wallet-based support | Feature availability (staking, tokens) varies by ecosystem and wallet. |
This is a summary. For full, current lists check the companion app and the chain-specific guides like the Ethereum guide and the Solana guide.
A few ecosystems deserve a dedicated note because they frequently cause confusion.
Why call these out? Because they show the two support models: Solana can be used for NFTs/staking via standard wallets, while Monero requires specialized client software due to its privacy design.
Many advanced features are only available through third-party wallets:
I noticed during testing that browser-wallet bridges provide the richest feature sets, but they also require higher operational caution: always review transaction details on the device screen before approving. For setup steps with common browser/mobile integrations, see the browser-wallet integration guide (/metamask-setup).
Multi-signature (multisig) increases security by requiring multiple signatures for a spend. Many hardware wallets participate in multisig setups via third-party software (Electrum, Sparrow and other multisig tools). Multisig reduces single-point-of-failure risk but adds operational overhead (backups, geographic key placement, inheritance planning).
I believe multisig is worth the work for treasury accounts or high-value holdings. But for small personal savings, a single-device setup with good backups is often sufficient.
For compatibility details and recommended workflows, see the multisig compatibility page (/multisig-compatibility) and the multisig setup walkthrough (/multisig-setup).
If you’re new, follow the initial setup and recovery guides first: setup-initial and restore-recovery.

Who should look elsewhere:
Q: Can I recover my crypto if the device breaks?
A: Yes — restore using your recovery phrase on a compatible device or recovery tool. See the restore guide (/restore-recovery).
Q: What if the device maker goes out of business?
A: Because crypto is non-custodial, your recovery phrase (and passphrase, if used) lets you recover funds using compatible wallets. See company-failure recovery notes (/company-risk, /backup-and-recovery).
Q: Is Bluetooth safe?
A: It can be, but it expands the attack surface. For maximum safety use USB and keep your threat model in mind (/connectivity-usb-bluetooth-nfc).
Support is more than a checkbox — it’s how you’ll use a coin (HODL, stake, trade, NFTs). Start by listing the chains you need, then verify whether the companion app supports them natively or whether a third-party wallet is required. In my testing, planning backups (seed phrase, metal backup plates) and deciding on passphrase (25th word) usage before moving funds prevents common headaches.
Ready to proceed? Check the network-specific guides: Ethereum guide, Solana guide, Monero guide, and follow the initial setup steps at setup-initial.
And remember: support is not just whether a coin can be stored — it’s whether the workflows you rely on (staking, DeFi, NFTs, multisig) are supported in a way you can manage securely.
