๐Ÿ’พAttach Ledger Device

To import your accounts from a Ledger device, first navigate to the designated menu in Extension mode, full screen mode, or on the onboarding page if you have just installed the extension, as shown below:

Then you will see the following page, which gives you options to connect your device:

If you are a new user, the first option, "Polkadot Generic app," is for you. It allows you to import your accounts for the Polkadot chain and all parachains that have upgraded their chains, which can be verified online via the Metadata Dashboard .

If you have parachains not on the list, you need to use their legacy apps by selecting the third option, "Legacy apps."

If you have accounts on legacy apps and now want to migrate to Polkadot Generic, you should use the "Migration app" option. To migrate your account, first import it by clicking on the "Migration app" option. This will show you the following page, which will prompt you to connect your Ledger device:

After connecting your Ledger device, follow the on-screen instructions to import the account you want to migrate. Once your account is imported, complete the migration process by following these steps:

  1. Use the "Polkadot Generic app" to import a new account.

  2. Transfer your tokens from the migration account to the account created by the Polkadot Generic app. Ensure your balance is transferable.

  3. Sign the transaction using the Migration app on the Ledger device.

Once the transfer is complete, you can remove the migration account from the extension and start using your new Ledger Generic account. Enjoy it; your migration is complete ๐ŸŽ‰!
