Securely store, manage, and protect your cryptocurrency assets with Ledger Wallet – the trusted hardware wallet for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and over 1,800 other cryptocurrencies.
Ledger Wallet is a hardware cryptocurrency wallet designed to provide maximum security for your digital assets. Unlike software wallets, which are vulnerable to malware or hacking attacks on your computer or smartphone, Ledger Wallet stores private keys offline, making them tamper-resistant and highly secure.
The wallet integrates with Ledger Live, the companion application that allows you to manage, track, send, and receive cryptocurrencies easily. Ledger Wallet supports a wide range of digital assets, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and hundreds of altcoins, providing a one-stop solution for secure crypto management.
Using a hardware wallet like Ledger Wallet ensures that even if your computer is compromised, your crypto assets remain safe. This is especially important for long-term holders and high-value investors.
Setting up your Ledger Wallet is straightforward but requires careful attention to security. Here’s how to get started:
After setup, you can install blockchain apps on your device for supported cryptocurrencies and create accounts in Ledger Live to manage them.
Ledger Wallet allows you to:
All transactions must be confirmed on the hardware wallet, ensuring that your private keys are never exposed to your computer or smartphone.
Ledger Wallet stores your private keys offline in a secure chip, making them immune to online threats and malware.
Access to the device is protected by a customizable PIN, preventing unauthorized use even if the device is lost or stolen.
The 24-word recovery phrase allows you to restore your wallet on a new device in case of loss or damage, ensuring your assets are never permanently lost.
Ledger regularly releases firmware updates to enhance security and add support for new cryptocurrencies, keeping your device protected.
Ledger Live is the official software application that connects to your Ledger Wallet, providing a user-friendly interface for managing your crypto assets. Features include:
Ledger Live is available on desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux) and mobile (iOS, Android), allowing seamless management across devices.
Ledger Wallet supports staking for multiple cryptocurrencies. By delegating assets to validators through Ledger Live, users can earn staking rewards while retaining control of their private keys. This enables your crypto holdings to generate passive income safely.
If your Ledger Wallet is lost, stolen, or damaged, your recovery phrase allows you to restore your funds on a new Ledger device or compatible wallet. Never share your recovery phrase and keep multiple secure offline copies.
