Welcome to Ledger: Where Your Crypto Security Journey Begins
Take Control with World-Class Security
At Ledger, we believe true freedom in the digital age comes from true ownership. When you choose Ledger, you're not just buying a hardware wallet—you're investing in the most secure way to own and manage your digital assets. Welcome to the starting point of your self-custody journey, where security meets simplicity.
Your crypto, your keys, your control. In a world where digital assets represent financial sovereignty, Ledger provides the fortress that protects what's yours. With over 6 million devices sold and 20% of the world's crypto assets secured, we are the global leader in critical digital asset security.
Why Start with Ledger?
The Gold Standard in Crypto Security
Traditional exchanges and software wallets leave you vulnerable. Hackers, phishing attacks, and platform failures constantly threaten your assets. Ledger's hardware wallets remove these risks by keeping your private keys—the actual proof of ownership—in an impenetrable, offline environment.
Certified Secure Element Technology
Unlike ordinary wallets, Ledger devices use the same secure chip technology found in passports and payment systems. This certified Secure Element (CC EAL5+ rated) is designed to withstand sophisticated physical attacks, ensuring your private keys never leave the device.
Simple Yet Powerful Experience
From beginner to expert, Ledger provides an intuitive interface that makes self-custody accessible to everyone. Our ecosystem grows with you, supporting everything from simple Bitcoin storage to advanced DeFi operations.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is Ledger suitable for complete beginners?
Absolutely. We've designed both our devices and Ledger Live application with beginners in mind. The setup process is guided step-by-step, and our extensive knowledge base and community support are available if you have questions. Many users start with no prior crypto experience and find the transition to self-custody straightforward with our tools.
2. What happens during a firmware update?
Firmware updates enhance security and add features. When an update is available, Ledger Live will notify you. The process involves:
-
Connecting your device
-
Following on-screen instructions in Ledger Live
-
Verifying the update on your device screen
-
Temporarily entering your PIN to authorize
Always verify your recovery phrase is accessible before updating, though updates are designed to preserve your data.
3. Can I use my Ledger with mobile devices?
Yes. The Ledger Nano X connects via Bluetooth to the Ledger Live Mobile app (iOS and Android). The Ledger Nano S Plus can connect to Android devices using a USB-C cable and OTG adapter. Both allow full portfolio management and transaction signing from your smartphone.
4. How many different cryptocurrencies can I store?
Ledger devices support over 5,500 digital assets and tokens across 50+ blockchains. Through Ledger Live, you can directly manage the major coins (BTC, ETH, XRP, etc.), while compatible third-party wallets (like MetaMask for Ethereum tokens) allow you to secure virtually any ERC-20 or similar standard token.
5. What if Ledger the company goes out of business?
Your crypto remains secure and accessible. Cryptocurrencies live on their respective blockchains, not on Ledger servers. Your 24-word recovery phrase follows an industry standard (BIP39) that can restore your wallet to any compatible software or hardware wallet. Ledger's potential business operations don't affect access to your assets.
6. Are there recurring fees or subscriptions?
No. After purchasing your hardware wallet, there are no mandatory subscription fees. Some optional services within the ecosystem (like Ledger Live's exchange partner swaps) include their standard network and service fees, but device usage, updates, and basic portfolio management remain completely free.
