Awaken makes it easy to track and report your Ledger wallet transactions — whether you use it for Ethereum, Bitcoin, Solana, or other blockchains. Simply connect the wallet addresses you’ve used, and we’ll automatically pull in your on-chain transactions. For less common chains, you can import your history using a CSV file.
✅ Step-by-Step: Connecting Your Ledger Wallet to Awaken
To connect your Ledger wallet to Awaken:
Go to the Accounts tab on Awaken
Click Add Account
Type Ledger in the search bar
Click Add Wallet
Select the blockchain you wish to import
Paste your public wallet address for that blockchain
Repeat steps 1-6 for every wallet you use with Ledger
You only need to import your EVM addresses once. We will pull transactions from all EVM blockchains.
Awaken will automatically fetch transactions from supported networks.
📄 Importing CSVs for Other Chains
If you've used Ledger to transact on blockchains that we don’t have API support for, you’ll need to upload a CSV file instead.
For Cosmos and its ecosystem chains (e.g., Osmosis, Celestia, Cosmos Hub), we recommend downloading your CSV from stake.tax.
Once you have downloaded your CSV:
Follow our formatting guide: 👉 How to Format Your CSV for Awaken Tax

✏️ Do You Have to File Taxes on Ledger?
Yes. Failing to accurately report your crypto taxes can incur significant penalties. Please see our article on what happens if you don't file your crypto taxes.
It is important to accurately report all of the transactions you complete on your Ledger hardware wallets throughout the tax year.
Trading and transacting in crypto is taxable. Whether you realize gains or losses for the year, you should always make sure to keep detailed records of your activity and report it to your local tax authority at the appropriate deadline.
🕵️ Does Ledger Report to the IRS?
No. Ledger is a self-custodial hardware wallet and does not report to the IRS or any tax authority. It does not collect personal information or track your transactions.
However, if you’ve interacted with centralized exchanges, your wallet may be traceable. The IRS could use exchange records to identify connected wallets, so it’s important to include all wallet activity in your tax reports, even if you think it’s off-chain.
