LTC LEDGER READERv2.0.0

API

Architecture

There is no backend API.

LTC Ledger Reader is a fully client-side application. No server holds accounts, addresses, or keys. Your browser talks directly to two things:

  • navigator.hid — WebHID access to a Ledger device, to read the public key and address for a derivation path via the Litecoin app.
  • litecoinspace.org — the public REST API used for address balances and transaction counts.

Derivation paths

  • Native SegWit: m/84'/2'/{account}'/0/{index}
  • Wrapped SegWit: m/49'/2'/{account}'/0/{index}
  • Legacy: m/44'/2'/{account}'/0/{index}

Litecoin's SLIP-0044 coin type is 2. These are the same paths Ledger Live uses.
