The world's most trusted hardware wallet for storing, managing, and securing your cryptocurrency with military-grade protection.
Ledger Hardware Wallet
Ledger devices use certified secure elements and advanced cryptographic protocols to protect your private keys. Your assets never leave the device, ensuring complete isolation from potential online threats. With industry-leading security certifications and regular third-party audits, you can trust that your investments are protected by enterprise-level security infrastructure designed specifically for cryptocurrency storage.
Ledger devices support over 5,500 cryptocurrencies and tokens across multiple blockchain networks. From Bitcoin and Ethereum to emerging altcoins and DeFi tokens, your Ledger device provides comprehensive coverage for your entire portfolio. Manage all your digital assets from a single, secure interface without needing multiple wallets or compromising on security for any particular asset.
Ledger seamlessly integrates with popular wallets and applications. Whether you're using MetaMask, Uniswap, OpenSea, or other DeFi platforms, your Ledger device connects effortlessly for secure transactions. The intuitive interface requires minimal technical knowledge, making cryptocurrency security accessible to everyone from beginners to experienced traders managing large portfolios.
A Ledger device operates on a principle of complete isolation. When you use your Ledger hardware wallet, your private keys—the cryptographic codes that control your assets—never touch your computer or smartphone. Instead, the Ledger device performs all sensitive operations in its secure environment. This means that even if your computer is compromised by malware or hackers, your cryptocurrency remains safe because the private keys are never exposed to the internet or potentially vulnerable software environments.
Each Ledger device comes pre-loaded with security features that rival those found in banking infrastructure. The device includes a tamper-resistant chip and runs proprietary firmware that undergoes rigorous security testing. When you create a wallet on your Ledger, you generate a 24-word recovery phrase that serves as a backup. This phrase is the only way to recover your funds if your device is lost, damaged, or stolen, making it critical to store it safely offline in multiple locations.
Your Ledger device comes with a sophisticated backup system designed to protect against all types of hardware failures. When you set up your device, you create a recovery phrase—a series of words that can regenerate your entire wallet on any compatible Ledger device. This means if your current Ledger is damaged, lost, or stolen, you can restore access to all your funds on a new device using the same recovery phrase.
The recovery process is straightforward: order a new Ledger device, set it up, and when prompted, enter your existing recovery phrase to restore your wallet. Your assets remain unchanged throughout this process. Advanced users can create multiple wallets with different recovery phrases for enhanced portfolio management and risk distribution. Ledger's backup system has been tested rigorously to ensure reliability while maintaining the highest security standards against unauthorized access.
Ledger Live is the official companion application that transforms your Ledger device into a complete asset management platform. The software provides real-time portfolio tracking, showing the current value of all your holdings across different cryptocurrencies and exchanges. You can view transaction history, monitor price movements, and manage multiple accounts all from one intuitive dashboard.
Beyond basic portfolio tracking, Ledger Live enables you to perform complex operations securely. Send and receive funds with confidence, knowing that transactions are confirmed on your physical device before execution. The application updates continuously with new features and support for emerging cryptocurrencies and blockchain protocols. Ledger Live also provides detailed transaction analytics and security reports, helping you understand your wallet activity and identify any suspicious patterns that might require investigation.
For cryptocurrency holders looking to earn rewards, Ledger provides integrated staking capabilities for compatible blockchain networks. Staking involves participating in network consensus mechanisms, and Ledger simplifies this process while maintaining full security. Users can earn rewards on supported cryptocurrencies like Ethereum, Solana, Polkadot, and many others directly through their Ledger device without transferring assets to external platforms or staking services.
The Ledger staking interface clearly displays potential rewards, minimum staking requirements, and lock-up periods for each supported network. You maintain complete control over your staked assets, with the ability to unstake whenever needed. This integrated approach eliminates counterparty risk associated with third-party staking services, where your assets are held by external providers. With Ledger, your funds remain entirely under your control while you earn passive income through network participation.
Modern cryptocurrency portfolios often include NFTs and digital collectibles, and Ledger provides dedicated support for these assets. The NFT Gallery feature within Ledger Live displays all your non-fungible tokens with high-quality image previews and metadata. You can track which NFTs you own, view their current floor prices, and manage your digital art collection with the same security as your cryptocurrency holdings.
Trading NFTs through Ledger remains secure because your transactions are verified on the device before being broadcast to the blockchain. Whether you're collecting digital art, gaming assets, or virtual real estate, your Ledger device ensures that only you can authorize transfers. The integration with popular NFT marketplaces and blockchain networks means you can participate fully in the digital collectibles economy without compromising security or asset control.
The Ledger Nano S Plus combines portability with functionality, featuring an enhanced display and expanded storage capacity. This device is ideal for cryptocurrency enthusiasts who value mobility without sacrificing essential features. The larger screen makes transaction verification more comfortable, and the increased storage supports a broader range of applications simultaneously.
The Ledger Nano X represents the premium offering, adding Bluetooth connectivity for seamless mobile integration. Users can manage their cryptocurrency from smartphones and tablets with full security, making the Nano X perfect for traders who need frequent access while maintaining hardware security.
Ledger's strength extends far beyond the hardware device itself. The ecosystem includes thousands of compatible applications, exchanges, wallets, and DeFi platforms that recognize and support Ledger devices. This extensive integration network means you're never locked into a single interface or service provider. Instead, you have the freedom to choose which applications and platforms work best for your specific cryptocurrency strategy.
Connect your Ledger device to decentralized finance platforms for secure trading and yield farming. Popular DeFi protocols recognize Ledger as a trusted wallet provider, allowing you to approve transactions directly on your device. This means you can participate in liquidity pools, swap tokens, and manage complex DeFi strategies while maintaining complete control over your private keys.
Major cryptocurrency exchanges support Ledger device connectivity for deposit and withdrawal operations. Binance, Kraken, Coinbase, and other platforms integrate with Ledger, enabling you to manage exchange deposits without creating isolated exchange wallets. This approach reduces your exposure to exchange hacks while maintaining convenient trading access.
Ledger continuously expands support for emerging blockchain networks and Layer 2 solutions. Whether you're using Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, or other networks, your Ledger device handles transactions securely across all compatible chains with a unified interface.
While Ledger Live is the primary interface, your Ledger device works with numerous third-party wallets. MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Exodus, and others support Ledger hardware wallets, giving you flexibility in choosing your preferred user experience while maintaining Ledger's security.
Starting with Ledger is straightforward. First, purchase a Ledger device from an authorized retailer, ensuring you receive it unopened to verify security. Once received, unbox the device carefully and follow the setup instructions. The Ledger setup process includes creating a PIN code for physical security and generating your 24-word recovery phrase.
Write your recovery phrase on paper (or metal plates for extreme permanence) and store it in a secure location, separate from your Ledger device. Never share this phrase with anyone or store it digitally. Once setup is complete, download Ledger Live and connect your device. The application will detect your device automatically and walk you through importing your accounts.
You're now ready to receive cryptocurrency. Your Ledger generates unique addresses for each cryptocurrency you want to receive. Share these addresses with exchanges or friends to receive funds. When sending funds or interacting with DeFi applications, your Ledger will require physical confirmation—you'll physically press buttons on the device to approve transactions, adding an extra layer of security that prevents unauthorized transfers even if your computer is compromised.
Join millions of users worldwide who trust Ledger to protect their digital assets. Whether you're a casual holder or serious investor, Ledger provides the security infrastructure you need.
