# How to Switch ETH Path to Ledger Live / Legacy Format?

Firmware versions M-5.0 (Multi-Coin) or newer support the switching of wallet paths (ETH) to Ledger Live and Legacy formats with your Keystone device in the MetaMask / DeFi / Web3 mode.

Keystone's original default wallet path (ETH) format is BIP44 Standard so If you want to import a recovery phrase from a Ledger device (Ledger Live / Legacy), you will need to switch the wallet path to Ledger Live / Legacy formats to identify your digital assets.

This guide will show you how to switch the wallet path (ETH) to Ledger Live / Legacy formats. Let’s take a look in more detail.

## **I. Preparation**

[Firmware](https://keyst.one/firmware?locale=en) versions M-5.0 (Multi-Cion) or newer running on Keystone Essential or Pro.

3\. The address format should have been changed for now. Reconnect software wallet to make this new format address binded on the software wallet.&#x20;

### Important Notes

* In **ledger live** format, Keystone only supports the synchronization of the **first 10 addresses.**&#x20;
* In BIP44 Standard and ledger Legacy formats, Keystone supports the synchronization of all addresses.
