Description
**Describe the bug**
IDEX does not work with hardware wallets. If someone deposits funds via Trezor or Ledger through MetaMask, those funds are locked in the contract, and cannot be traded or withdrawn.
**To Reproduce**
Steps to reproduce the behavior (do not _actually_ do this, you will lose funds!):
1. Go to IDEX
2. Click on Balances
3. Deposit ETH or any token via Ledger or Trezor connected through MetaMask
4. Attempt to trade those tokens, or withdraw them
**Expected behavior**
Either receive a message stating this is not yet supported, or add the ability to support it.
**Screenshots**
support case: 18940

Research direction
Start with the Balances deposit flow described in the reproduction steps, using MetaMask with a Ledger or Trezor only in a safe test environment. Trace how the flow handles deposits and subsequent trading or withdrawals, then determine whether unsupported hardware wallets should receive a warning or be supported; done means funds cannot be irrecoverably locked by this path.
