How to find your wallet address on a Ledger device
How to find your receiving address on a Ledger using Ledger Live and confirm it on-device, ready to submit for crypto wallet verification and proof of funds.
With a Ledger, your address is derived from keys that never leave the device. You view and copy it through Ledger Live, and you can confirm it on the device's own screen — the safest way to be sure the address is genuinely yours.
Steps
- Open Ledger Live and unlock it.
- Go to Receive and choose the account for the asset you want.
- Connect and unlock your Ledger, and open the matching app on the device (e.g. the Bitcoin or Ethereum app) when prompted.
- Ledger Live shows the receiving address. Verify it on the device screen — the address displayed on your computer should exactly match the one shown on the Ledger itself.
- Copy the address once it's confirmed.
Important notes
- Confirming on the device protects you against malware that could swap a copied address. Always check that the on-screen and on-device addresses match.
- Each asset has its own address and app. A Bitcoin address won't reflect an Ethereum balance and vice versa.
- HD-derived accounts mean you may have multiple addresses; the funds you want could be under a different account in Ledger Live.
- Never enter your 24-word recovery phrase anywhere except directly on the Ledger device when restoring it. No verification will ever ask for it.
