Secure Your Crypto Assets With Ledger

Why Choose Ledger Hardware Wallets?

Ledger hardware wallets provide robust security for your cryptocurrency assets. Our devices combine a secure element with a proprietary operating system designed to protect your private keys and recovery phrases from various threats.

Unparalleled Security Features

Ledger wallets utilize certified secure elements (CC EAL5+), similar to those used in credit cards and passports, to provide maximum protection against physical attacks. Our innovative BOLOS operating system ensures that applications are isolated from each other, preventing any potential vulnerabilities from spreading throughout the device.

User-Friendly Experience

Despite the advanced security technology, Ledger devices are designed with user experience in mind. The intuitive interface, combined with the Ledger Live companion app, makes managing your crypto assets straightforward even for beginners.

Comprehensive Asset Support

Ledger hardware wallets support over 1,800 cryptocurrencies and tokens, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB, XRP, and all ERC-20 tokens. With regular updates and new integrations, your Ledger device continues to expand its compatibility with the growing crypto ecosystem.

Staking and Earning Opportunities

With Ledger Live, you can not only securely store your assets but also grow them through various staking and earning opportunities. Supported protocols include Ethereum 2.0, Polkadot, Cosmos, Tezos, and many others, allowing you to earn rewards while maintaining full control of your private keys.

Getting Started with Your Ledger Device

Setting up your Ledger hardware wallet is a straightforward process that establishes your personal secure environment for managing digital assets.

Initial Setup Process

When you first initialize your Ledger device, you'll generate a unique 24-word recovery phrase. This phrase represents your master private key and is the only way to restore access to your funds if your device is lost, stolen, or damaged. The device ensures this phrase never leaves the secure element and is never exposed to connected devices.

Installing Ledger Live

Ledger Live is the official companion application for Ledger hardware wallets. Available for desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux) and mobile (iOS, Android), this application allows you to manage your portfolio, send and receive cryptocurrencies, and access various services while your private keys remain securely stored on your hardware device.

Advanced Security Practices

For optimal security, Ledger recommends several best practices: always verify receiving addresses on your device's screen, use a strong PIN code (never the default), keep your recovery phrase offline and secure, and regularly update your device firmware and applications through Ledger Live.

Ledger Live: The Complete Crypto Management Platform

Ledger Live transforms your hardware wallet into a comprehensive dashboard for all your cryptocurrency activities, providing both security and convenience in a single application.

Portfolio Tracking and Management

The application provides a clear overview of your entire cryptocurrency portfolio, with real-time price information and historical performance charts. You can track the value of your holdings across multiple accounts and view detailed information about individual transactions.

Buy, Sell, and Swap Services

Ledger Live integrates with various service providers to allow you to buy cryptocurrencies with fiat currency, sell crypto for fiat, and swap between different cryptocurrencies directly within the application. These transactions benefit from the security of your Ledger device, as all operations require manual verification on your hardware wallet.

Third-Party Integrations

Beyond the native functionality of Ledger Live, your Ledger device can connect to numerous third-party wallets and services, including MetaMask, MyEtherWallet, and various DeFi platforms. This flexibility allows you to interact with the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem while maintaining the highest security standards for your private keys.
