Connecting Ledger Flex to MetaMask allows you to securely manage BNB and BEP-20 tokens on BNB Chain while keeping your private keys protected inside your hardware wallet.
MetaMask acts as the interface for interacting with the BNB Chain network, while Ledger Flex signs every transaction directly on the device, adding an extra layer of security compared to regular software wallets.
In this guide, we’ll walk through the exact steps we used to connect Ledger Flex to MetaMask and use it with BNB Chain.
