Everything you need to know about Ledger hardware wallets. Can't find the answer you're looking for? Contact our support team.
A hardware wallet is a physical device that stores your cryptocurrency private keys offline. Unlike software wallets on your computer or phone, hardware wallets provide the highest level of security by keeping your keys isolated from internet-connected devices, protecting them from hackers, malware, and other online threats.
Ledger devices support over 5,500 cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Ripple (XRP), Litecoin (LTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Chainlink (LINK), Polkadot (DOT), Cardano (ADA), and many more. You can install apps for specific cryptocurrencies directly through Ledger Live.
If you lose your device, your cryptocurrencies are safe. During setup, you created a 24-word recovery phrase (seed phrase) that can restore all your accounts on a new Ledger device or compatible wallet. Your funds are secured by this phrase, not the physical device itself. Simply order a new device and restore using your recovery phrase.
Setting up is easy: 1) Download Ledger Live on your computer or mobile, 2) Connect your device via USB or Bluetooth, 3) Follow the on-screen setup wizard to create a PIN and write down your 24-word recovery phrase, 4) Install cryptocurrency apps you want to use. The entire process takes about 10-15 minutes.
Yes, Ledger Live is completely free to download and use. It's the official companion app for managing your Ledger device and cryptocurrencies. There are no subscription fees or hidden costs. You only pay standard blockchain network fees when sending transactions.
Yes, Ledger devices are compatible with many third-party wallets and applications including MetaMask, MyEtherWallet, Electrum, and various DeFi platforms. This gives you flexibility to use your preferred interface while maintaining the security of your Ledger device.
The 24-word recovery phrase is extremely secure when properly stored. It's generated using industry-standard cryptographic algorithms and has 256 bits of entropy. However, anyone who has access to this phrase can access your funds, so store it offline in a secure location and never share it with anyone.
All Ledger devices provide the same security level. The Nano S Plus ($79) is USB-only and most affordable. The Nano X ($149) adds Bluetooth connectivity for mobile use and larger storage. The Stax ($279) features a large E Ink screen and wireless charging for premium user experience.
