Ledger Wallet Users

If your funds are stored on a Ledger hardware wallet, use the Ledger Signing Tool.

Note: For security, we recommend downloading the tool and running it offline. Download and extract the static files here, then open index.html locally. Google Chrome is the recommended browser for this tool.

Prerequisites

  • Install both the Bitcoin and Horizen apps on your Ledger device.
  • Ensure the Horizen app version is v2.4.1 or higher.

Signing Instructions

  1. Connect Your Ledger Device
    Connect your Ledger device and open the Horizen app. Ensure the device is unlocked and displays "Application is ready" on the screen.

  2. Launch the Ledger Signing Tool
    Open the Ledger Signing Tool and click Connect. Make sure your Ledger device is unlocked, and the Horizen app is open. The Ledger screen will show "Application is ready".

    Connect Ledger

  3. Enter the Destination Address
    Enter the destination address. The destination address is where ZEN will be sent to, make sure you are the owner of this address. The "Message to Sign" will auto-populate.

    Enter destination address

  4. Locate and Adjust the Derivation Path
    Enter the derivation path for the ZEN address being claimed from.

    To find this:

    • Open the Ledger Live app
    • Go to the Horizen account to claim from
    • Click Edit Account → Advanced
    • Note the freshAddressPath

    Find accounts

    Edit account

    Find derivation path

About Derivation Paths​

Ledger uses the following format for HD wallet derivation:

m / purpose' / coin_type' / account' / change / address_index

For Horizen, the derivation path is:

m / 44' / 121' / account' / change / address_index
  • change is:
    • 0 → receiving address
    • 1 → change address
  • address_index is the index of the address under that account

Understanding freshAddressPath​

Ledger shows the next unused address as the freshAddressPath.

To find the last used address:

  • Subtract 1 from the address_index.

Example
If the freshAddressPath is m/44'/121'/0'/0/5
Then the last used receiving address is m/44'/121'/0'/0/4

Important: Check All Possible Addresses​

To ensure no funds are left behind:

  1. Scan backwards from the freshAddressPath, checking each:

    • address_index (e.g., 4, 3, 2, 1, 0)
    • for both change = 0 and change = 1

  2. This means you should check all paths like:

    m/44'/121'/0'/0/4
    m/44'/121'/0'/1/4
    m/44'/121'/0'/0/3
    m/44'/121'/0'/1/3
    ...

This ensures you catch both receiving and change addresses that may have ZEN balances.

  1. Verify the ZEN Address

    Paste each derived ZEN address into the Horizen Explorer to check the balances.

    Copy ZEN address

  2. Sign the Message

    Click Sign Message and confirm the message on your Ledger device. Copy the generated signature and save it for the next step in the process.

  3. Proceed to the Claim Page.
