Find answers to the most common questions about Ledger hardware wallets, cryptocurrency security, and getting started with digital asset protection.
A hardware wallet is a physical device that stores your cryptocurrency private keys offline. Unlike software wallets that are connected to the internet, hardware wallets keep your keys isolated from online threats like hackers, malware, and phishing attacks. Ledger hardware wallets use a secure element chip (the same technology used in credit cards and passports) to protect your assets. This makes them the most secure way to store cryptocurrency, especially for long-term holdings or large amounts.
Ledger uses multiple layers of security to protect your crypto. First, your private keys are generated and stored offline in a certified secure element chip (CC EAL5+) that's tamper-resistant. Second, all transactions must be physically verified and approved on the device screen, preventing malware from stealing your funds. Third, even if your computer is compromised, hackers cannot access your private keys since they never leave the device. Finally, your device is protected by a PIN code, and if it's lost or stolen, you can recover your funds using your 24-word recovery phrase.
Ledger supports over 5,500 cryptocurrencies and tokens, including all major ones like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), XRP, Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA), and thousands more. You can also store NFTs and interact with DeFi protocols securely. The list of supported assets is constantly growing through firmware updates. You can manage all these assets through the Ledger Live app, which provides a unified interface for your entire crypto portfolio.
If your Ledger device is lost, stolen, or damaged, your cryptocurrency is still safe. During setup, you create a 24-word recovery phrase (also called a seed phrase) that serves as a backup of all your private keys. You can use this recovery phrase to restore access to your crypto on any compatible hardware wallet or software wallet. It's crucial to store your recovery phrase securely offline - write it down on paper and keep it in a safe place. Never store it digitally or share it with anyone.
Setting up your Ledger is straightforward: 1) Download the official Ledger Live app from ledger.com, 2) Connect your Ledger device to your computer, 3) Follow the guided setup to initialize your device and create your PIN, 4) Write down your 24-word recovery phrase and store it safely, 5) Install apps for the cryptocurrencies you want to manage, 6) Create accounts in Ledger Live to start receiving crypto. The entire process takes about 10-15 minutes. Ledger Live will guide you through each step with clear instructions.
We strongly recommend buying Ledger devices only from official sources: ledger.com, authorized retailers, or verified Amazon/Best Buy stores. Devices from unofficial sellers could be tampered with or compromised. However, Ledger devices have built-in security measures - during setup, the device generates a new recovery phrase, and Ledger Live checks the device authenticity and firmware integrity. If you're unsure about your device's authenticity, you can reset it completely and initialize it as new, which will generate fresh private keys and a new recovery phrase.
