Why Choose Ledger Hardware Wallets?

Unmatched Security

Ledger hardware wallets utilize a secure element chip, the same technology used in passports and credit cards, to provide the highest level of security for your private keys. Your cryptocurrency assets remain protected even when connected to a compromised computer.

With Ledger's proprietary operating system, BOLOS, each application is isolated, preventing any potential malware from accessing your sensitive data. This multi-layered security approach ensures that your digital wealth remains secure from both physical and digital threats.

User-Friendly Experience

With Ledger Live, our intuitive companion application, managing your crypto portfolio has never been easier. Buy, sell, exchange, and grow your assets all from one secure platform designed for both beginners and experts.

The setup process is straightforward, especially when you begin at ledger.com/start. Our step-by-step guidance ensures that even those new to cryptocurrency can securely set up their wallet in minutes, not hours.

Wide Asset Support

Ledger hardware wallets support over 1,800 cryptocurrencies and tokens, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and many more. No matter which digital assets you hold, Ledger has you covered with comprehensive support.

As the crypto ecosystem evolves, Ledger continuously adds support for new assets through regular firmware updates, ensuring your wallet remains future-proof and compatible with emerging technologies and standards.

Advanced Security Features

Secure Element Technology

Ledger devices incorporate a secure element chip that is independently certified (CC EAL5+). This specialized hardware is designed to withstand sophisticated attacks and securely store your private keys, ensuring they never leave the device.

Unlike software wallets or exchange storage, Ledger's approach keeps your sensitive information in an isolated environment, protected from malware and hackers attempting to extract your keys through software vulnerabilities.

PIN Protection & Recovery Phrase

Every Ledger device is protected by a PIN code that you create during setup. After three incorrect PIN attempts, the device wipes itself, protecting your assets from physical theft.

The 24-word recovery phrase generated during initialization allows you to restore your entire portfolio on any Ledger device or compatible wallet. This industry-standard approach ensures you maintain access to your assets even if your device is lost or damaged.
