Welcome to your cryptocurrency security journey with Ledger. As the leading hardware wallet manufacturer, Ledger provides the most secure way to store, manage, and grow your digital assets. Whether you're a beginner starting with your first Bitcoin purchase or an experienced trader managing a diverse crypto portfolio, Ledger hardware wallets offer uncompromising security that keeps your investments safe from online threats, hackers, and exchange vulnerabilities.
Ledger devices revolutionize cryptocurrency security by storing your private keys offline on a secure chip, completely isolated from internet-connected devices. This "cold storage" approach means your crypto assets remain protected even if your computer or smartphone is compromised by malware or hackers. Unlike software wallets or keeping funds on exchanges, Ledger ensures you maintain complete control over your digital assets with the peace of mind that comes from institutional-grade security.
Getting started with your Ledger device is straightforward and secure. The setup process involves downloading the official Ledger Live application, connecting your device, creating a secure PIN, and generating your 24-word recovery phrase. This recovery phrase acts as the master key to your cryptocurrency holdings and must be stored securely offline. Once setup is complete, you can install apps for your chosen cryptocurrencies and begin transferring your assets to the safety of your hardware wallet.
Ledger hardware wallets support over 5,500 different cryptocurrencies and tokens, making them the most versatile storage solution available. From major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Cardano to emerging DeFi tokens and NFTs, your Ledger device can securely manage your entire crypto portfolio. The Ledger Live ecosystem provides seamless integration with popular DeFi protocols, enabling you to stake, lend, and earn rewards while maintaining custody of your assets.
With over 5 million devices sold worldwide and partnerships with leading cryptocurrency exchanges and institutions, Ledger has established itself as the gold standard for cryptocurrency security. Our devices undergo rigorous security audits and feature CC EAL5+ certified secure elements—the same chips used in passports and credit cards. This commitment to security excellence has made Ledger the trusted choice for everyone from individual crypto enthusiasts to major financial institutions managing billions in digital assets.
