MetaMask is compatible with the Ledger hardware wallet. Follow these instructions to connect your Filecoin addresses within MetaMask to your Ledger wallet. This guide assumes you have [Ledger Live](https://www.ledger.com/ledger-live) and [MetaMask](https://metamask.io/) installed on your computer.

MetaMask is compatible with the Ledger hardware wallet. There are 2 options for Ledger apps that support Filecoin:
98+
- **Filecoin Ledger App** - compatible with MetaMask or the [Glif.io](https://glif.io/en/wallet) wallet
99+
- **Ethereum Ledger App** - ***currently deprecated*** for Filecoin as of v1.15.0 (previous versions will work) until Ledger releases their upcoming Dynamic Networks feature
100+

#### Note on Filecoin EVM vs Filecoin Native addresses
102+
103+
Note that MetaMask supports Filecoin EVM addresses that follow the Ethereum `0x` format (see [this section](https://docs.filecoin.io/basics/assets/transfer-fil) for more info on address types). To use native Filecoin address types that begin with `f`, you can use:
104+
- [Glif.io](https://glif.io/en/wallet) wallet (also compatible with the Filecoin Ledger App),
105+
- Ledger Live and the Filecoin Ledger App or
106+
- [Filecoin MetaMask Wallet](https://snaps.metamask.io/snap/npm/filsnap/) which can be installed from MetaMask's built-in Snaps menu
107+
108+
Some exchanges only support specific address types (see [this table on FilecoinTl;dr](https://filecointldr.io/how-to-buy-filecoin#buy) for more info). Which address types are best to use may depend on your use case and goals.
