Before You Begin
Before claiming ECX, make sure you have access to your Ledger device, know the PIN code, and have securely stored your 24-word recovery phrase.
You will also need an ECX destination address. This can be created using an ECX wallet or obtained from an exchange that supports ECX deposits.

Check Eligibility (Recommended)
The easiest way to begin is by checking whether your Bitcoin address is eligible for ECX.
The ECX Claim Checker only requires your public Bitcoin address and does not require your private key or recovery phrase.
Prepare Your ECX Address
Create an ECX wallet or obtain an ECX deposit address from a supported exchange.
Your claimed ECX will be sent to this address after the claim has been completed.
Open the Official Claim Tool
Once your eligibility has been confirmed—or if you prefer to skip the eligibility check—you can continue to the Official ECX Claim Tool.
The tool supports both Bitcoin private keys and recovery phrases.
Select Recovery Phrase
Ledger wallets are based on a recovery phrase.
When using the Official ECX Claim Tool, choose the "Recovery Phrase" option and enter your Ledger recovery phrase only on the official Claim eCash website.
Private Key / Recovery Phrase (Select this option)
Enter Your Recovery Phrase
Carefully enter your 24-word Ledger recovery phrase exactly as it was originally written.
Words must be entered in the correct order and separated by spaces.
Enter Your ECX Address
Paste the ECX address where you want your ECX allocation to be delivered.
Double-check the address before submitting your claim.
Claim ECX
Review your information carefully before confirming.
Once ownership verification has been completed successfully, your ECX allocation will be delivered to your ECX address.

Ledger Security Tips
Always confirm that you are using the official Claim eCash website before entering sensitive wallet information.
Never share your Ledger recovery phrase with anyone claiming to represent support.
Verify your destination ECX address before completing your claim.
Ensure that your recovery phrase has been securely backed up before beginning the claim process.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Ledger support ECX?
Ledger protects your Bitcoin keys. Your eligibility for ECX depends on the Bitcoin addresses controlled by your Ledger wallet at the time of the official snapshot.
Do I need Ledger Live?
Ledger Live can help you view your Bitcoin accounts and addresses. Depending on the final claim implementation, additional steps may be required during the claim process.
Should I use the Claim Checker first?
Yes. The ECX Claim Checker is the recommended starting point because it allows you to verify your eligibility using only a public Bitcoin address.
Can I skip the Claim Checker?
Yes. If you already know that your Ledger wallet is eligible, you may proceed directly to the Official ECX Claim Tool.
Which claim method should Ledger users choose?
Ledger users should generally choose the Recovery Phrase option in the Official ECX Claim Tool, provided that this matches the official claim instructions for the supported wallet.
Can I claim multiple Ledger accounts?
If your Ledger device manages multiple eligible Bitcoin addresses or accounts, the claim process will follow the official ECX distribution rules. Refer to the latest project guidance if account-specific behavior is documented.
