Add Chain 138 (Defi Oracle Meta Mainnet) to Ledger Live

Last Updated: 2026-02-13
Status: Action plan and submission guide


Complete this now (your only required action) — Submitted 2026-02-13

The form has been submitted. Next: await Ledgers response and follow their process (agreement + integration steps). For reference, the steps were:

  1. Open: Ledger blockchain integration form.
  2. Paste the text below into the form field "What are you looking from Ledger?", then replace [your email/Telegram] with your contact.
  3. Submit the form. Ledger will reply with next steps (and any agreement).

Copy-paste block:

We would like to add Defi Oracle Meta Mainnet (Chain ID 138) to Ledger Live so users can manage ETH and tokens on this EVM chain natively in Ledger Wallet.

- Chain name: Defi Oracle Meta Mainnet
- Chain ID: 138 (0x8a)
- EVM-compatible (EIP-155, EIP-1559), standard derivation 44'/60'
- Public RPCs and block explorer are live; chain is listed on Chainlist (chainlist.org/chain/138).
- We already have Chain ID 138 configured in a Ledger App-Ethereum fork (network name "Defi Oracle Meta", ticker ETH) and can provide specs or PRs as needed.

Preferred contact: [your email/Telegram]

Why Ledger Live when we already use App-Ethereum?

App-Ethereum is the firmware on the Ledger device: it knows chain IDs and can show “Defi Oracle Meta” when signing for chain 138 (we have this in our fork). It does not provide RPC, balances, or any wallet UI. Ledger Live is the desktop/mobile app: it shows balances and send/receive but supports only a fixed list of networks and has no “Add custom network” for EVM. So the device can sign for 138, but users cannot see or use Chain 138 in Ledger Live unless Ledger adds it. We need both: App-Ethereum for signing, Ledger Live for native Chain 138 in the wallet. Full rationale: CHAIN138_WALLET_ECOSYSTEM_AND_RATIONALE.md.


Overview

Ledger Live does not support user-added custom EVM networks. To have Defi Oracle Meta Mainnet (Chain ID 138) appear and work in Ledger Live (desktop/mobile), the chain must be added to Ledgers supported list via their official blockchain integration process.

This doc gives the steps and materials to request and support that integration.


Step 1: Submit the official request (required first)

Do not start code changes before Ledger has accepted your request. Their developer portal states:

⚠️ Don't start the development without signing an agreement with our teams.

  1. Open the Ledger blockchain integration request form:
    https://tally.so/r/mORpv8

  2. Fill in the form (e.g. “What are you looking from Ledger?”) with a short request to add Defi Oracle Meta Mainnet (Chain ID 138) to Ledger Live. Suggested text:

    We would like to add Defi Oracle Meta Mainnet (Chain ID 138) to Ledger Live so users can manage ETH and tokens on this EVM chain natively in Ledger Wallet.
    
    - Chain name: Defi Oracle Meta Mainnet
    - Chain ID: 138 (0x8a)
    - EVM-compatible (EIP-155, EIP-1559), standard derivation 44'/60'
    - Public RPCs and block explorer are live; chain is listed on Chainlist (chainlist.org/chain/138).
    - We already have Chain ID 138 configured in a Ledger App-Ethereum fork (network name "Defi Oracle Meta", ticker ETH) and can provide specs or PRs as needed.
    
    Preferred contact: [your email/Telegram]
    
  3. Submit and wait for Ledger to respond. They will guide you through the next steps (and any agreement).


Step 2: What Ledgers integration involves (after they respond)

Ledgers Adding your blockchain to Ledger Wallet guide outlines an 8-step process. For an EVM chain like 138, the main touchpoints are:

Step What it means for Chain 138
1 Currency Register the chain in Ledgers crypto-assets (e.g. @ledgerhq/cryptoassets in ledger-live), with ethereumLikeInfo.chainId: 138 and explorerViews.
2 Device app lib Ethereum app already supports multiple chain IDs; use hw-app-eth with chainId 138 in tx building/signing. Chain 138 may need to be in official Ledger app-ethereum (see below).
3 Create module EVM chains often use the same “Ethereum” family module with different chain config (RPC, explorer).
4 Derivation / Signer Standard EVM: 44'/60' (already used in our app-ethereum config).
5 API Ledger may use their own indexer/RPC or point to your public RPCs and Blockscout.
6 LLD & LLM Desktop and mobile Ledger Wallet apps: live-common setup, currency list, i18n; run dev and QA.
7 Wallet API wallet-api: Ethereum family extended for chainId 138 (or new family); Ledger Wallet adapter.
8 Manual tests Execute send/receive test plan (sync, receive, balance, broadcast, operations, account).

Full step-by-step (all steps, no gaps): LEDGER_BLOCKCHAIN_INTEGRATION_COMPLETE.md in docs/11-references. Generated code for all 8 steps: pr-workspace/ledger-chain138-integration/ — drop-in snippets and config for each step.

Ledger will tell you exactly which repos (e.g. ledger-live, app-ethereum, wallet-api) and which files to change or which data to provide.


Step 3: Materials to have ready for Ledger

When Ledger asks for chain details or integration data, you can point them to or paste the following.

Project description (short/medium/long): docs/11-references/DEFI_ORACLE_META_MAINNET_PROJECT_DESCRIPTION.md — use the medium paragraph for Ledger or listing forms.

3.1 Chain specification (Chainlist-compatible)

Our canonical chain spec is in this repo at pr-workspace/chains/_data/chains/eip155-138.json. Summary:

Field Value
name Defi Oracle Meta Mainnet
chainId 138
networkId 1
shortName dfio-meta-main
nativeCurrency Ether (ETH), 18 decimals
slip44 60 (standard EVM)
infoURL https://d-bis.org

RPC URLs (public):

  • https://rpc-http-pub.d-bis.org
  • wss://rpc-ws-pub.d-bis.org
  • https://rpc.d-bis.org
  • wss://rpc.d-bis.org
  • https://rpc2.d-bis.org
  • wss://ws.rpc.d-bis.org
  • wss://ws.rpc2.d-bis.org
  • https://rpc.public-0138.defi-oracle.io
  • wss://rpc.public-0138.defi-oracle.io
  • https://rpc.defi-oracle.io
  • wss://wss.defi-oracle.io

Block explorer:

  • Blockscout: https://explorer.d-bis.org (EIP3091)

Features: EIP-155, EIP-1559.

3.2 Ledger App-Ethereum (device) configuration

We already have Chain 138 in our app-ethereum fork:

  • pr-workspace/app-ethereum/src/network.c (line 42):
    {.chain_id = 138, .name = "Defi Oracle Meta", .ticker = "ETH"}
  • pr-workspace/app-ethereum/makefile_conf/chain/defi_oracle.mk:
    CHAIN_ID = 138, APPNAME = "Defi Oracle Meta", TICKER = "ETH", derivation 44'/60'

If Ledger asks for device-app changes, we can either:

  • Propose a PR to LedgerHQ/app-ethereum adding the same entry to network.c (and any makefile/chain list they use), or
  • Provide the exact patch/snippet for them to integrate.

3.3 References in this repo


Public code review repo for the Ledger Live team

All public code, specs, and patches for Ledger team review: https://github.com/bis-innovations/LedgerLive

Use this repo to publish Chain 138 integration materials (cryptoassets entries, config snippets, app-ethereum changes, or full patches) so the Ledger Live team can review before or alongside any PR to LedgerHQ repos. Clone, add your changes, push, and share the repo or specific branches/PRs with Ledger when they ask for code.

Initialize and push (from GitHub instructions)

New repo (first commit):

echo "# LedgerLive" >> README.md
git init
git add README.md
git commit -m "first commit"
git branch -M main
git remote add origin https://github.com/bis-innovations/LedgerLive.git
git push -u origin main

Existing local repo:

git remote add origin https://github.com/bis-innovations/LedgerLive.git
git branch -M main
git push -u origin main

Step 4: Optional prepare for a future PR to Ledger Live

If Ledger confirms that adding Chain 138 is done by editing their ledger-live monorepo (e.g. libs/ledgerjs/packages/cryptoassets or libs/ledger-live-common), you can:

  1. Publish for review: Push your work to bis-innovations/LedgerLive for Ledger team code review.
  2. Clone upstream: git clone https://github.com/LedgerHQ/ledger-live.git
  3. Follow their installation and contribution guide.
  4. Locate where EVM chains are defined (often a data file or config listing chainId, name, RPC, explorer).
  5. Add an entry for Chain ID 138 using the spec in Step 3.1 and any format Ledger requires.

Do this only after Ledger has accepted the request and indicated where to add the chain; their structure may differ from public guesses.
