Hardware Wallet (Ledger)

You can use a Ledger with Chimi. If you prefer maximum security or already manage your assets through a hardware wallet, Chimi fully supports connecting your Ledger through MetaMask or Rabby.

Smart Wallet vs Ledger Hardware Wallet

If you trust yourself to keep your email, your device, and your MFA safe, then the smart wallet is very low risk and much more convenient.

If you want the absolute highest security no matter what, a Ledger is safer but slower and has more steps.

Smart Wallet (with MFA)

  • No setup, super easy
  • Gasless transactions
  • Works directly inside Chimi
  • MFA protects your account
  • Easy recovery if device is lost
  • Risk if someone uses your unlocked device and has access to your MFA

Ledger Hardware Wallet

  • Requires hardware and setup
  • No gasless transactions
  • Needs MetaMask or Rabby
  • Physical device + PIN protect your keys
  • Recovery phrase is the only backup
  • Risk if your recovery phrase leaks
