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.
