Context of this question here.



I want to create a wallet (by which I mean a tz1 address) using my Ledger Nano S. All I find online is how to create a wallet using software (e.g. Galleon Wallet) or web application (e.g. Tezbox). However, as I understand it, the whole point of a hardware-based wallet is that the keys are created and stay in the hardware. A key created via software can be intercepted or (more sinister) stored by the software or even sent to a third party.



Now, when I initialised my Ledger, I did create the key (setting a PIN and then the 24-words security). So, in principle, the key is in the hardware. However, nothing assures me the key is not being seen by the software by which the wallet is created and linked to the Ledger.



So, how can I create a wallet securely using the Ledger hardware? Perhaps using the CLI tezos-client? (but the latter means I need to run a node?).

          First: Yes you need to run a node to do this.



          Here is a Tutorial, how to do it with CLI:
          https://github.com/obsidiansystems/ledger-app-tezos



          It looks more than it takes, if you use LedgerLive ( to install the Tezos Wallet (and Baking) App.

          • Seems to be a super strong conclusion. Basically, only creating a wallet via the node is 100% secure. This is definitely not the impression people get.
