How To Manage NEO Stored On A Ledger With the Neon Wallet
NEO, the utility token behind the NEO platform — a smart contract community-driven platform that leverages blockchain technology to optimize the digital ecosystem.
Because NEO tokens are not yet fully supported on Ledger, third-party wallets such as the Neon wallet bridges that gap. With the two wallets working together, you can now store your NEO tokens off-chain on Ledger and manage them using the Neon wallet.
Today, we will show you how to get started with the Neon wallet to start managing your Ledger Neo tokens right away.
Please note, before we start, you need to make sure that you have the NEO app installed on your Ledger device.
Make sure you are using the latest version of Ledger Live.
