     Hi all .  I have just installed the Avalanche app on my nano s . Do i need to create and store the 24 word passphrases ,when setting up new avax wallet ,if i am linking it to nano s ? With other currencies that dont have a native app on ledger as such ,i didnt have to create private keys /24 word back up , but just clicked ,  connect to ledger device .   Any help much appreciated ....

I think this should move to the hardware wallet section.


Anyway, according to the ledger guide from this link below, you don't need to set up and import the 24 words seed backup(Unless if your wallet is not set up yet).
You can follow the guide from this link below.

You don't need if you will not use the main wallet to receive funds.

But it could help to lesser your time if you want restore the wallet only if you uninstalled the app since most wallet have various steps before you can create one, example after you copy the recovery seed, you will need to type every word manually and it takes time. Though only applicable if avalanche wallet have such steps to create a wallet.

Oh, I read it wrong, my bad, I thought there's a avalanche wallet and you need to link your ledger to the app. Anyway, the link posted above says it all.
