Lite Wallet + your hardware wallet.
FEATURE
Lite Wallet + your hardware wallet.
A software wallet is convenient; a hardware wallet is secure. Lite Wallet bridges the two. Your Ledger or Trezor holds the keys. Lite Wallet handles everything else.
Lite Wallet integrates with Ledger and Trezor hardware wallets to combine cold-storage key security with Lite Wallet's interface. Private keys remain inside the hardware device; Lite Wallet constructs transactions, requests signatures from the device, and broadcasts the signed result. Setup works on desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux) via USB; mobile support depends on device and OS. Standard Litecoin transactions are fully supported on both Ledger and Trezor; MWEB hardware-signing status is tracked in /changelog.
Ledger
Supported models
Lite Wallet works with Ledger Nano S Plus, Ledger Nano X, Ledger Stax, and Ledger Flex. The Litecoin app on the device handles the Litecoin-specific signing; Lite Wallet is the interface you actually use to construct transactions, view balance, and manage addresses.
Setup on desktop
Install the Litecoin app on your Ledger via Ledger Live. Connect the device via USB. Open Lite Wallet, choose 'Connect hardware wallet', and select Ledger. Lite Wallet imports your Ledger-derived Litecoin addresses and displays the balance. The private keys stay on the Ledger; Lite Wallet never sees them.
Setup on mobile
Ledger Nano X supports Bluetooth pairing to mobile. Pair the device in the Lite Wallet mobile app. USB-only Ledger devices (Nano S Plus) require a USB-C adapter on compatible phones. Full compatibility matrix in /support/troubleshoot.
Trezor
Supported models
Lite Wallet works with Trezor Model One, Trezor Model T, and Trezor Safe 3. Litecoin support is native to Trezor firmware — no separate app install required inside the device.
Setup on desktop
Connect the Trezor via USB. In Lite Wallet, choose 'Connect hardware wallet', select Trezor, and enter the device PIN on the Trezor screen. Lite Wallet imports the Trezor-derived Litecoin addresses. Signing confirmations appear on the Trezor display — verify the destination address and amount on the device before approving.
Setup on mobile
Mobile Trezor use requires a USB-C adapter. Functional on Android; iOS support for Trezor is constrained by Apple's USB-C policy per device generation. Matrix in /support/troubleshoot.
How hardware wallet signing works
Keys live on the device
Your Ledger or Trezor stores the private keys on a secure element. The keys never leave the device. Lite Wallet asks the device for public keys to display addresses and balances, and sends unsigned transaction data to the device when you want to send LTC.
Lite Wallet constructs, the device signs
Lite Wallet builds the transaction — inputs, outputs, change address, fee. The unsigned transaction goes to the hardware device. The device displays the destination address and amount on its own screen, asks you to confirm with physical buttons, and returns a signed transaction. Lite Wallet broadcasts the signed transaction to the Litecoin network.
Why this matters
Even if your computer is compromised, a hardware wallet signer can't be tricked into signing the wrong transaction — because the address and amount you approve appear on the device's own screen, not on the potentially malicious computer. A malicious Lite Wallet build on a compromised machine cannot extract keys from the device. Cold storage works because the keys and the display are physically together.
Other hardware wallets
Hardware wallets that support the standard Bitcoin/Litecoin derivation paths over the HWI (Hardware Wallet Interface) protocol may work with Lite Wallet via the advanced connection flow. This includes devices like Coldcard, BitBox02, and Jade. Compatibility is community-tested rather than officially supported; current status is tracked in /changelog.
