How to know balance in Ledger Nano S? Ledger wallets have a single static address where to send BTC to, but when looking at the details of the transactions, it is always recorded as different receiving addresses. Looking up the static address on blockchain.info (the address you send BTC to) will always show a total of 0 BTC.


Is there a way to know the total balance of a Ledger wallet from the
static address?
Is there another way to know the total balance
without actually plugging in the Ledger device?
You may use a blockexplorer e.g. https://blockchain.info/xpub/${xpub} (replace ${xpub} with that string beginning with "xpub") to look up the balance on the web or use a wallet like e.g. mycelium.

You can look up this key as well as the private one with e.g. https://iancoleman.github.io/bip39/ – use a copy offline for your actual backup phrase

Have a look in BIP32 and 43 to learn about xpub and xprv for HD wallets (and later on BIP 39, 44 and 49).
