✅ Jamie’s Notes
- You can add multiple wallets using different Ledgers, or even multiple accounts on the same device.
- If you already have a Ledger wallet connected, Begin will automatically create a new wallet instance when connecting a second one.
- The Ledger device must have the Cardano app installed and open before pairing.
- Bluetooth support is available on mobile and Ledger Nano X / Stax / Flex models only.
