Ledger is the industry leader in cryptocurrency hardware wallets, trusted by millions of users worldwide to secure their digital assets.
Our hardware wallets use military-grade security chips and multiple layers of protection to keep your crypto safe from hackers and unauthorized access.
Manage Bitcoin, Ethereum, and thousands of other cryptocurrencies and tokens all in one secure place with Ledger Live.
With self-custody, you maintain complete control over your private keys. No third party can access or freeze your funds.
Understanding how your Ledger hardware wallet protects your crypto is essential to feeling confident in your security.
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.
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.
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.
Ledger supports over 5,500 cryptocurrencies and tokens

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.
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.
