A Ledger hardware wallet is a physical device that securely stores your cryptocurrency private keys offline. Unlike software wallets that keep your keys on internet-connected devices, hardware wallets protect your assets from online threats like hackers, malware, and phishing attacks. Your private keys never leave the device, ensuring maximum security for your digital assets.
Setting up your Ledger is simple: First, download and install Ledger Live on your computer or smartphone. Connect your device using the provided USB cable, then follow the on-screen instructions to initialize your device. You'll create a PIN code and write down your 24-word recovery phrase. Finally, install the cryptocurrency apps for the assets you want to manage.
Ledger supports over 5,500 cryptocurrencies and tokens across 27+ blockchain networks. This includes Bitcoin, Ethereum, Cardano, Solana, Polygon, and thousands of ERC-20 tokens. You can also manage NFTs and interact with DeFi applications. The full list of supported assets is continuously updated and available on the Ledger website.
If you lose your Ledger device, your funds are still safe. During setup, you wrote down a 24-word recovery phrase. You can use this phrase to restore access to all your cryptocurrencies on a new Ledger device or compatible wallet. This recovery phrase is the master key to your funds, so keep it secure and never share it with anyone.
While Ledger Live is the official and recommended application for managing your Ledger device, it's not strictly required. You can use your Ledger with various third-party wallets and applications like MyEtherWallet, Electrum, or DeFi platforms. However, Ledger Live provides the best user experience with features like portfolio management, staking, and easy app installation.
Ledger devices use a certified secure element chip (CC EAL5+) that provides protection against sophisticated physical attacks. The device is designed to detect tampering attempts and will erase its contents if compromised. Additionally, your PIN code protects against unauthorized access, and after three incorrect attempts, the device will reset itself.
Yes, you can use Ledger devices with mobile devices. The Ledger Nano X supports Bluetooth connectivity for wireless use with smartphones and tablets. The Ledger Nano S Plus can connect via USB using an OTG adapter. Ledger Live mobile app is available for both iOS and Android platforms.
The main differences are: Nano X features Bluetooth connectivity for mobile use, larger storage capacity for more apps, and a larger screen. Nano S Plus connects via USB only but offers excellent security at a lower price point. Both devices provide the same level of security with certified secure elements and support for thousands of cryptocurrencies.
