Ledger Live is the companion app for Ledger hardware wallets - supports 5,500+ tokens across Ethereum, Solana, and other networks. Here's the exact path from Ledger Live to a funded GetPlu Visa - networks, fees, troubleshooting, and what you can do once your balance lands.
Funding Checklist
- Open GetPlu, select Ledger Live as your funding source, and confirm the network the deposit screen lists before sending.
- In Dominican Republic, always follow the latest funding labels inside the GetPlu app before you move stablecoins.
- After the on-chain transfer confirms, your GetPlu Visa balance updates; spend online or in-store anywhere Visa is accepted.
Why fund GetPlu from Ledger Live?
Ledger Live is the companion app for Ledger hardware wallets - supports 5,500+ tokens across Ethereum, Solana, and other networks.
GetPlu issues a Visa card you can fund directly with stablecoins. Ledger Live combined with a Ledger Nano (S Plus, X, Stax) gives you self-custody with hardware-level security. Send on Base (recommended - lower fees) or Ethereum (ERC-20). The result: one on-chain transaction, then you spend at any of 100+ million Visa merchants in 125+ countries - no exchange off-ramp, no bank account required.
This guide walks you through the exact flow: copying GetPlu's deposit address, choosing the right network on Ledger Live, sending the transfer, and confirming the credit. Most users finish in under 5 minutes.
What you'll need
- Ledger Live installed on your desktop or mobile app (paired with hardware wallet)
- USDC or USDT on Base (recommended) or Ethereum (ERC-20) balance in your Ledger Live wallet (enough for the transfer + a small network fee buffer)
- A GetPlu account (free - sign up at app.getplu.com if you don't have one)
- Internet connection on both devices
Step-by-step
1. Open GetPlu and tap Add funds
Choose USDC or USDT. GetPlu will prompt you to pick a network.
2. Choose your network
Ledger Live sends via Base (recommended - lower fees, faster confirmations) or Ethereum (ERC-20, also available). Both are EVM-compatible, so GetPlu's wallet works with either.
3. Copy the deposit address
GetPlu shows a unique deposit address for the network you selected. Tap to copy. Verify the first and last 4 characters match what you'll paste in the next step.
4. Open Ledger Live and tap Send
Connect your Ledger device. Open Ledger Live, choose your USDT or USDC account on Base or Ethereum, and tap Send. Confirm the transaction on your physical Ledger device - it will display the address and amount on its screen for verification.
5. Paste the address and enter the amount
Paste the GetPlu deposit address. Enter the USDC or USDT amount you want to fund. Ledger Live will show you the network fee - review it, then confirm.
6. Wait for the credit
Once the transaction confirms on-chain, GetPlu credits your balance. Base typically takes Under 30 seconds. You'll see a notification in the GetPlu app.
Network selection
Ledger Live supports the following networks for GetPlu funding:
| Network | Fee | Speed | Recommended for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base | Under $0.10 typical | Under 30 seconds | Recommended - lowest fees, fastest confirmations |
| Ethereum (ERC-20) | $2-15 typical (gas-dependent) | 1-3 minutes | Also available |
Default recommendation: **Base**.
Common issues and fixes
- Ethereum app on Ledger - Base uses the same Ethereum app on your Ledger device (via Ledger Live's Manager) since Base is EVM-compatible - make sure it's installed before sending.
- Address verification on device - always verify the destination address on the Ledger device's screen, not just on Ledger Live. Address-tampering attacks target the desktop, not the device.
- Firmware updates - keep your Ledger firmware up to date. Outdated firmware may not support newer token contracts.
- Gas token - Base and Ethereum transactions both need a small ETH balance in the same account.
What you can do once funded
Once your GetPlu balance lands, you can:
- Add the GetPlu Visa to Apple Pay or Google Pay for contactless payments
- Pay any subscription billed in USD (Netflix, Spotify, GitHub, ChatGPT, AWS, etc.)
- Spend at any merchant accepting Visa - 100+ million worldwide
- Withdraw cash at ATMs at competitive rates
- Issue scoped Agent Cards for AI agents (Claude, Cursor, etc.) with hard spending limits

Frequently asked questions
Can I fund GetPlu directly from my Ledger account on Base?
Yes - open Ledger Live, select your Base (or Ethereum) account holding USDC or USDT, and send directly to your GetPlu deposit address. Confirm the transaction on your physical Ledger device before it broadcasts.
What network should I use to send from Ledger Live?
Base is recommended - lower fees and faster confirmations than Ethereum. Ethereum (ERC-20) is also available if that's where your balance already sits.
How long does the transfer take to credit my GetPlu balance?
Once the transaction confirms on-chain, GetPlu credits your balance immediately. Base confirmations typically take under 30 seconds; Ethereum (ERC-20) takes 1-3 minutes.
