- Input your wallet name of your choice;
- Tick "Want to create with hardware wallet" and choose "Ledger" as the wallet type.
- "Address Index" is the last value of the Derivation Path (e.g.
44'/394'/0'/0/{address_index}), which used to derive different addresses from the same key based on different number input. You will need to input the same "Address Index" if you want to restore the Ledger wallet address on another device. For the network, three options of "Testnet Croeseid 4", "Mainnet", and "Custom Devnet" are given. Testnet Croeseid 4 is Croeseid testnet which is our Cosmos-based testnet that has been running since October 2020. Mainnet refers to Crypto.org Chain mainnet. Other than these, you can also fill up the custom configuration to your own network.

# Step 3 - Before you perform transactions with Ledger device
Before starting with the sending transaction/performing staking operations, we would need some funds to begin with:

| App | Supported Assets |
|---|---|
| Crypto.org | CRO (Crypto.org Chain) |
| Ethereum | CRO (Cronos Chain) |
Verify the address by clicking "Verify address on Ledger", you should see the same address being displayed on your ledger device as well.
- Step 3.2 - Once the address has been confirmed, copy this address and request some funds from the testnet faucet
| Asset | Faucet |
|---|---|
| CRO (Crypto.org Chain) | https://crypto.org/faucet |
| CRO (Cronos Chain) | https://cronos.crypto.org/faucet |
- Step 3.3 - Your current balance will be available on the "Assets" page. If you would like to view the transaction details, go to the "Transaction" Tab and simply hit the hash link under Transaction Hash, and it will direct you to the corresponding explorer where different details related to transactions will be displayed:
