How to Donate Crypto from Ledger, Trezor or Exodus
Hardware wallets keep your keys offline, and desktop wallets like Exodus keep them on your own computer. Both are good places to give from, as long as you check the address on the right screen and know which coins your model supports. This guide covers Ledger, Trezor and Exodus, including the coins each can and can't send to us.

The golden rule for any hardware wallet: the address that matters is the one shown on the device’s own screen. Malware on a computer can swap a copied address for an attacker’s; it can’t change what your hardware wallet displays. Check our address there before you approve.
Which of our coins each wallet can send
| Coin | Ledger Wallet | Trezor Suite | Exodus |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bitcoin (BTC) | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Ethereum (ETH) and USDC | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| BNB (BNB Smart Chain) | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Dogecoin (DOGE) | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| TRON (TRX) and USDT on TRON | Yes | Yes, except Model One | Yes |
| Solana (SOL) | Yes | Yes, except Model One | Yes |
| XRP | Yes | Yes, except Model One | Yes |
If your Trezor Model One can’t send the coin you want to give, choose another coin we accept, or move it to a wallet that supports it.
Ledger
Ledger’s app, formerly called Ledger Live, has been called Ledger Wallet since October 2025. It works with Ledger’s current devices, including the Stax, Flex, Nano Gen5 and Nano X.
- Copy our address for your coin from our donation screen (start from our homepage).
- In Ledger Wallet, open the account for that coin and choose Send.
- Paste our address, enter the amount and choose the network fee.
- Connect and unlock your Ledger. Check that the address and amount on the device screen match our site, then approve on the device.
- Open the transaction in your history and choose View in explorer to copy the transaction ID, then submit it to us.
Ledger devices show the recipient, amount and fee in plain terms on screen (“clear signing”) for many transactions. Read them; don’t approve anything that doesn’t match.
Trezor
- Copy our address from our donation screen.
- In Trezor Suite, open the account for your coin and choose Send.
- Paste our address, enter the amount and choose a fee level, then select Review & send.
- Check the address on your Trezor’s screen against our site and confirm on the device, then select Send.
- Open the transaction in Suite to copy its transaction ID, and submit it to us.
Trezor warns against copying addresses from your past transaction history, because scammers plant look-alike addresses there with tiny transfers. For Bitcoin, Trezor Suite offers Speed up if a transaction is stuck with a low fee. For XRP, leave the destination tag empty when sending to us.
Exodus
- Copy our address from our donation screen.
- In Exodus, open the asset and choose Send. If the asset exists on more than one network, as USDT and USDC do, choose the network from the dropdown: TRON for USDT, Ethereum for USDC.
- Paste our address and enter the amount. For XRP, leave the destination tag empty.
- Review the network fee and send.
- Expand the transaction in the asset’s activity list and click the transaction ID to open it on a block explorer; copy it and submit it to us.
Exodus can also be used with a hardware wallet. On desktop it works with Trezor devices, but not for TRON tokens such as USDT, and only for the coins your Trezor model supports; send those from Trezor Suite instead. On mobile, its Ledger connection works with the Nano X and Flex but doesn’t cover BNB Smart Chain or Dogecoin, so send those from Ledger Wallet instead.
Fees
None of these wallets charges a fee for sending; you pay only the network fee, in the network’s own coin. That means keeping some ETH to send USDC, some BNB to pay fees on BNB Smart Chain, and some TRX to send USDT on TRON. Trezor’s own figures show why the last one matters: a USDT transfer on TRON uses energy that, if you have none staked, costs roughly 6 to 13 TRX in fees. A plain TRX transfer is often covered by the free daily bandwidth every account gets.
For XRP, every account must keep a reserve of at least 1 XRP (more if it holds other tokens) that can’t be sent, so your wallet will show slightly less available than your balance.
Staying safe
Your recovery phrase stays offline
- Ledger, Trezor and Exodus all say they will never ask for your recovery phrase. Nor will we. Anyone who asks is a scammer.
- Customer data stolen from Ledger in 2020 is still used for phishing letters, emails and texts, sometimes asking you to “verify” or “upgrade” your device. Ignore them.
- Download apps only from the official websites (ledger.com, trezor.io and exodus.com, typed in yourself) or from the app-store links those sites give. Fake versions turn up in search results, ads and even app stores, so check the developer name before installing.
- Always confirm our address on the device screen, not just on your computer.
Common questions
Do I need to install a separate app on my device for each coin?
On Ledger devices, yes: each blockchain has a small app on the device, which Ledger Wallet installs for you when you add an account. Trezor and Exodus handle this within their own apps.
My Ledger shows a different address from my computer. What should I do?
Stop and don’t approve. Your computer may be compromised. Copy our address again from our site on a different device if you can, and compare it with what your Ledger shows.
Can I use my hardware wallet with MetaMask instead?
For Ethereum-style networks, yes; our MetaMask guide covers it. For Bitcoin, Solana, TRON and the rest, use the hardware wallet’s own app.
