How Ledger Works

Understanding how your Ledger hardware wallet protects your crypto is essential to feeling confident in your security.

STEP 1

Offline Private Key Storage

Your private keys are generated and stored entirely within the secure chip of your Ledger device. They never leave the device, even when you sign transactions. This offline storage, also called "cold storage," makes it virtually impossible for hackers to access your keys remotely.

Unlike software wallets or exchanges, your keys are never exposed to the internet, protecting you from phishing attacks, malware, and other online threats.

STEP 2

Secure Transaction Signing

When you want to send cryptocurrency, your Ledger device signs the transaction using your private key. This happens entirely within the secure element of the device. The transaction is then sent to the blockchain network without ever exposing your private keys.

You verify every transaction on the device's screen before confirming, ensuring that what you see is what you sign - protecting you from malicious software on your computer.

STEP 3

Recovery Backup Protection

During setup, your Ledger generates a 24-word recovery phrase. This phrase is a backup of all your private keys. If you lose your device, you can restore all your accounts on a new Ledger using this phrase.

Write down your recovery phrase and store it in a secure location. Never share it with anyone, and never store it digitally. This phrase is the master key to all your crypto assets.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a hardware wallet?

A hardware wallet is a physical device that stores your cryptocurrency private keys offline. Unlike software wallets that store keys on your computer or phone, hardware wallets keep your keys isolated from internet-connected devices, making them much more secure against hacking attempts.

How does Ledger protect my crypto?

Ledger uses a certified secure element chip (CC EAL5+) to store your private keys. These keys never leave the device, even when signing transactions. Every transaction must be physically confirmed on the device, protecting you from malware and phishing attacks.

What happens if I lose my Ledger device?

Your crypto is safe! During setup, you write down a 24-word recovery phrase. If your device is lost, stolen, or damaged, you can restore all your accounts on a new Ledger device using this phrase. Keep your recovery phrase secure and never share it with anyone.

Can I use Ledger with my favorite crypto apps?

Yes! Ledger integrates with many popular crypto platforms and DeFi applications. You can connect your Ledger to services like MetaMask, Phantom, and many others, adding hardware security to your favorite apps.

Which Ledger device should I choose?

Ledger Nano S Plus is perfect for beginners with essential features at an affordable price. Nano X offers Bluetooth connectivity for mobile use and more storage for apps. Stax provides a premium touchscreen experience with advanced features.

Is my personal data safe with Ledger?

Absolutely. Ledger doesn't collect or store your private keys, recovery phrases, or transaction data. Your personal information is handled with strict privacy standards, and we never sell your data to third parties.
