Everything you need to know about Ledger hardware wallets and getting started with secure crypto storage.
A hardware wallet is a physical device that stores your cryptocurrency private keys offline. When you want to make a transaction, you connect the device to your computer or phone, verify the transaction details on the device screen, and confirm with physical buttons. This keeps your private keys secure and never exposed to potentially compromised computers or networks.
Ledger hardware wallets use a certified secure chip (CC EAL5+) that's designed to resist physical attacks and malware. Unlike software wallets that store keys on internet-connected devices, your private keys never leave the secure element. Even if your computer is compromised, your crypto assets remain safe because all critical operations happen within the isolated hardware.
If you lose your Ledger device, your crypto assets are still safe as long as you have your 24-word recovery phrase. You can buy a new Ledger device (or use any compatible hardware wallet), restore your accounts using the recovery phrase, and regain full access to your funds. This is why it's crucial to write down and safely store your recovery phrase when setting up your device.
Ledger supports over 5,500 cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and thousands of ERC-20 tokens. Popular supported assets include BTC, ETH, BNB, ADA, SOL, DOT, MATIC, and many DeFi tokens. New cryptocurrencies are regularly added based on community demand and technical feasibility.
Yes, Ledger Live is the companion software that helps you manage your crypto assets. It's available free for Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android. Ledger Live lets you install crypto apps on your device, check balances, send/receive transactions, and manage your portfolio. The hardware wallet works in conjunction with Ledger Live for the complete experience.
Yes! While Ledger Live is the official app, your Ledger device works with many popular wallet interfaces including MetaMask, Electrum, MyEtherWallet, and more. This gives you flexibility to choose your preferred interface while maintaining the security benefits of hardware wallet storage.
