#### Hive wallet application framework for Ledger Nano S/X
When installed on a Ledger Nano S/X device, this application will deserialize transactions and display them on the hardware wallet for secure validation by the user. If the user accepts the transaction, this application will then sign the transaction with the key specified by the user.
There is a pre-compiled binary available in the `bin/` folder and attached to each public Github release. However, you may optionally choose to compile the Hive Ledger Nano S/X application manually with help of the run.sh script provided in the repository. Usage instructions and examples are below..
