Your Secure Start with Ledger

Welcome to Self-Custody. Welcome to True Ownership.

At Ledger, we believe security and simplicity should go hand in hand. Your journey to secure cryptocurrency management starts here. Whether you're holding your first Bitcoin or managing a diverse digital asset portfolio, Ledger provides the enterprise-grade security you need with the user-friendly experience you deserve.

Why Start with Ledger?

Take Control with Uncompromising Security

When you store crypto on exchanges or in software wallets, you're trusting third parties with your assets. Ledger changes that paradigm. Our hardware wallets keep your private keys—the critical pieces of information that prove ownership of your crypto—offline in a secure chip, completely isolated from internet-connected devices and potential hackers.

6 Million+ Ledger devices sold worldwide
5500+ Coins and tokens supported
$20B+ In assets secured through our enterprise solutions

The Ledger Difference: Secure Element Technology

Unlike software wallets or basic hardware wallets, Ledger incorporates a Secure Element chip—the same technology used in passports, credit cards, and payment systems. This military-grade security chip is designed to withstand sophisticated attacks, ensuring your private keys never leave the device.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. I'm completely new to crypto. Is Ledger too advanced for me?

Not at all. Ledger is designed for users at all levels. The setup process is guided step-by-step through Ledger Live, and our devices are built with simplicity in mind. Plus, our extensive help center and community are available if you have questions. Many users find that starting with a Ledger actually helps them understand crypto better because they're engaging directly with the technology.

2. What happens if I lose my Ledger device?

Your crypto is safe as long as you have your 24-word recovery phrase. This phrase is a backup of your private keys. Simply enter it into a new Ledger device (or any BIP39-compatible wallet) to restore access to all your assets. This is why securing your recovery phrase is critical—it's your ultimate backup, not the physical device.

3. Can I use my Ledger with multiple computers or phones?

Yes. Your Ledger device can be connected to any computer or smartphone with Ledger Live installed. You can also connect it to third-party wallets like MetaMask or Phantom. Your private keys remain secured on the device itself, so you can safely manage your assets from different interfaces without compromising security.

4. How often do I need to update my Ledger device?

We recommend keeping your device firmware updated to benefit from the latest security improvements and features. Updates are typically released quarterly or as needed for security patches. Ledger Live will notify you when updates are available, and the process takes just a few minutes while maintaining the safety of your assets.

5. Does Ledger support staking and DeFi?

Absolutely. Through Ledger Live, you can stake various cryptocurrencies directly from your device. For DeFi applications, you can connect your Ledger to supported platforms—your device will sign transactions securely while the interface happens through your browser. This gives you access to decentralized finance while maintaining hardware-level security for your keys.

6. What's the difference between the Nano S Plus and Nano X?

Both provide the same fundamental security with the Secure Element chip. The Nano X offers Bluetooth connectivity for use with smartphones, more storage for apps, a larger screen, and battery power for true portability. The Nano S Plus is USB-only, has slightly less app storage (though you can manage unlimited assets by swapping apps), and offers exceptional value. Choose based on whether mobile management and maximum app storage are priorities for you.
