Want to securely store your Rune (RUNE) on your Ledger hardware wallet but confused by all the Ethereum-based Rune tokens in Ledger Live? Fear not! This guide will show you how to add your RUNE to Thorchain using your Ledger device.
Before you start:
- Ensure you have your Ledger device and Ledger Live software set up.
- Remember, this method stores RUNE on Thorchain, not the Ethereum blockchain.
Steps:
- Connect your Ledger and launch Ledger Live.
- Go to Manager > App Catalog.
- Search for “Thorchain” and install the app.
- Don’t create an account in Ledger Live yet!
- Open https://app.thorswap.finance/swap in your browser.
- Click “Connect Wallet” > “Connect Ledger”.
- Select “Thor” network and ensure your Ledger is unlocked.
- Choose the Thorchain app on your Ledger and click “Connect”.
- Your Ledger address will be displayed in Thorswap.
- Use this address to send your RUNE directly to your Ledger.
Congratulations! Your RUNE is now safely stored on your Ledger wallet within the Thorchain network. You can verify your balance on the Thorswap Block Explorer.
Important notes:
- This method bypasses the confusing Ethereum-based Rune tokens in Ledger Live.
- Always double-check your address before sending RUNE.
- Consider researching staking options for your RUNE within Thorchain.
