Pera Web Wallet supports accounts backed by a Ledger Nano hardware wallet. Pera Web supports all models of the Ledger Nano:

Ledger Nano X can be connected via USB or Bluetooth (on Bluetooth-supported browsers)
Ledger Nano S and S+ can be connected via USB
Ledger devices can only be connected via chromium browsers such as Google Chrome, Brave, Edge, etc. Currently, Firefox and Safari are not supported.

Question 4

Resolving WalletConnect Issues

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately there are several known issues related to WalletConnect that our team is working on. Some of these issues are related to the WalletConnect JavaScript implementation on the dApp side. Even though these are not problems with our iOS and Android apps, we are working with ecosystem partners to try and solve the implementation issues on their side so our users can have a smoother experience using Pera Wallet.

This article offers some workarounds to most common problems we've seen based on incoming support requests and our internal testing.

Resetting WalletConnect Sessions

The most common case with WalletConnect problems is stale sessions that need to be cleared out. Whenever you experience a WalletConnect problem, we recommend disconnecting all active WalletConnect sessions. You can easily do this by navigating to Settings > WalletConnect Sessions > Disconnect All Sessions. After doing this, make sure to reload the browser tab where you loaded the dApp as well, and try connecting again.

Issues Connecting on iOS with Mobile Safari

One of the most common problems with WalletConnect happens on iOS devices, when using a dApp such as AlgoFi, Tinyman, Yieldly, Algogems and attempting to connect on Mobile Safari. After a successful connection, when you return to Safari to use the dApp, WalletConnect socket connection fails and you get stuck.

After detailed investigation, we found that this is because of a Safari bug Apple introduced with iOS 15. You can resolv
