Our hardware wallets utilize secure element technology, the same chips used in credit cards and passports, ensuring your private keys never leave the device. This air-gapped security model provides the highest level of protection against hackers, malware, and phishing attacks that commonly target software wallets and exchanges.
The Ledger ecosystem supports over 5,500 cryptocurrencies and tokens, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and all major altcoins. With Ledger Live, our companion application, you can easily manage your portfolio, stake your assets, and access decentralized applications while maintaining complete control of your private keys.
Setting up your Ledger device through Ledger.com/start is straightforward and secure. Our step-by-step guide ensures proper initialization, backup creation, and security verification. The process includes generating your unique 24-word recovery phrase, which serves as the ultimate backup for your wallet, allowing you to restore access to your funds even if your device is lost or damaged.
Ledger's commitment to security extends beyond hardware. Our devices undergo rigorous security audits, and we maintain transparency through our Donjon security team, which continuously tests and improves our products. With features like PIN protection, anti-tampering mechanisms, and secure firmware updates, Ledger provides institutional-grade security for individual users.
