Your crypto fortress
A Ledger hardware wallet is a physical device that securely stores your cryptocurrency private keys offline. Unlike software wallets or exchanges, your private keys never touch the internet, making them immune to online hacks, malware, and phishing attacks. It's the most secure way to store cryptocurrency long-term.
Setting up your Ledger device takes about 15-30 minutes. First, download Ledger Live from our official website, connect your device, create a PIN, write down your 24-word recovery phrase securely, and install the crypto apps you need. Our step-by-step guide above walks you through the entire process safely.
If you lose or damage your Ledger device, your cryptocurrency is still completely safe. Using your 24-word recovery phrase, you can restore all your accounts on a new Ledger device or compatible wallet. This is why it's crucial to keep your recovery phrase secure and never store it digitally.
Yes! Ledger supports over 1,800 cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and most major altcoins. You can install and uninstall crypto apps as needed through Ledger Live. Each app manages the specific cryptocurrency, and you can have multiple currencies on the same device simultaneously.
Your 24-word recovery phrase is actually a master key that generates all your private keys. It uses a standard called BIP39 to deterministically create unique private keys for each cryptocurrency account. This means one recovery phrase can restore all your accounts across different cryptocurrencies.
Ledger Live is the companion app that interfaces with your hardware wallet via USB or Bluetooth. The app displays your balances and transaction history, but all critical operations (like signing transactions) happen on the secure hardware device itself. Your private keys never leave the hardware wallet.
Our comprehensive support center covers everything from basic setup to advanced security practices.
