ACA Staking via Ledger
The Acala Ledger App version is currently behind the Acala runtime, therefore features like staking are not yet supported directly via Ledger. Here is a workaround for Ledger users to participate in ACA staking before the new Ledger version is released (which could take a while based on past auditing timeframe). Ledger users could set up a proxy account and use this proxy account to sign and submit transactions with the Polkadot-JS web wallet.
Follow the instructions here to create a proxy for your ledger account. Our dApp will support proxy account signing in future releases. In the meantime, ACA staking can be done via the Polkadot-JS UI. Bear in mind that your account that is acting as the proxy should have some ACA to pay for fees when signing transactions. For transferring ACA, see the documentation here.

To get the staked ACA amount, you can go to Acala dApp, connect with Ledger account, and view the Staked amount.

Or follow the steps below to view on Polkadot-JS:
