Hereโ€™s how to sign a transaction using a Ledger hardware device.


  • After initiating your send transaction within Theya, you will be prompted to sign the transaction using the key(s) created upon set up of your vault.

    • Two signatures for multisig

    • One signature for single-sig

  • Click 'Sign with [Device Name]' in the Theya app.


Bluetooth (Ledger Nano X)

  • Click 'Sign with Ledger Nano X'

  • Ensure your device is activated with the Bitcoin app open.

  • Scan for your device and select it once found.

  • On your device, review details and approve the transaction.

If conducting a multisig vault transaction, the Theya app will display progress on the signature process. After signing with you first key, you can repeat the process for the second key.

  • Once all necessary keys have signed, you can broadcast the transaction to the network. Check the confirmation status using the Mempool.Space block explorer link provided or transaction history on your Theya vault homepage.

    • Your vault balance will update after 3+ confirmations.
