⚠️ ATTENTION
There is a new Generic Polkadot app that works for every Substrate chain, provided they have made the necessary changes to their runtime.
This guide has been updated with instructions on how to import a Ledger account with the new Generic app.
If you had previously imported a Polkadot Ledger account with the legacy app, you'll need to re-add it following the instructions in this article.
How to import a Ledger account
1. Open the Talisman Wallet extension, click the hamburger menu icon ("More"), and then select "+ Add account":
2. A new tab will present you with four options: "New", "Import", "Connect", and "Watch". Click the third option, "Connect Ledger, Polkadot Vault, etc":
3. Click "Connect Ledger".
4. On the next screen, choose "Polkadot" and the network you want to add. In this case, we'll use Kusama. Then, select "Polkadot App" to add the account from the Polkadot Ledger app.
If you want to import an account from the "Legacy" or "Migration" apps, follow the steps in the article below:

5. Make sure your Ledger is unlocked, open the Polkadot app, and confirm that the device is properly connected to your computer. If this is your first time connecting your Ledger to Talisman, you should see a browser pop-up prompting you to select the connected Ledger device:
6. After clicking "Continue," choose the Ledger account(s) you wish to import into Talisman Wallet and click "Continue":
7. And that's it! Your Ledger account(s) should appear in your Account(s) tab in Talisman Wallet. Now, you can operate from the Generic Polkadot app on any network, not only Polkadot!
