Your First Step to Digital Sovereignty | Ledger

Begin Your Secure Crypto Journey Here

Welcome to the starting point of true cryptocurrency ownership. At Ledger, we provide the security foundation that transforms how you interact with digital assets. This is where your journey to complete financial sovereignty begins—with enterprise-grade security made accessible for everyone.

True ownership starts with true security. In the digital age, your private keys are your most valuable possession. Ledger hardware wallets keep those keys secure, offline, and completely under your control. Join over 6 million users who trust Ledger to protect their digital futures.

Why Security Must Come First

The Reality of Digital Asset Protection

When you leave crypto on exchanges or in software wallets, you're taking unnecessary risks:

• Exchange vulnerabilities – Platforms can be hacked, frozen, or shut down

• Phishing attacks – Sophisticated scams target your login credentials

• Device compromises – Malware can steal from software wallets

• Human error – One mistake can lead to irreversible losses

Ledger eliminates these risks by creating an impenetrable barrier between your private keys and online threats. Our Secure Element technology ensures that even if your computer is compromised, your assets remain safe.

• Bank-level Secure Element chips (CC EAL5+ certified)

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does Ledger protect against physical theft?

Ledger devices feature multiple layers of physical security. After 3 incorrect PIN entries, the device automatically wipes itself. Without your PIN, the device is useless to thieves. Even if they dismantle the device, the Secure Element chip is designed to resist physical extraction attempts. Your recovery phrase (stored separately) is the only way to restore access.

2. Can I manage multiple cryptocurrencies on one device?

Yes. A single Ledger device can secure thousands of different assets across dozens of blockchains. Through Ledger Live and compatible third-party wallets, you can manage Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Polygon assets, and many others simultaneously. Each currency requires a separate account in Ledger Live for optimal organization.

3. What's the difference between Ledger Live and other crypto wallets?

Ledger Live is specifically designed to work with your hardware wallet, providing a secure interface that never exposes your private keys. While you can use your Ledger with other wallet interfaces (like MetaMask or Phantom), Ledger Live offers integrated features like staking, portfolio tracking, and secure swaps that maintain hardware-level security throughout the entire process.

4. How often do I need to update my device?

We recommend updating whenever Ledger Live notifies you of available firmware. Updates typically occur every few months and provide important security enhancements, new features, and support for additional cryptocurrencies. Each update takes only a few minutes and maintains all your existing accounts and settings.

5. What happens if Ledger Live is down?

Your assets remain completely secure and accessible. Your cryptocurrency exists on their respective blockchains, not on Ledger's servers. You can still:

• Access your assets using your device with compatible third-party wallets

• Send transactions by connecting to alternative interfaces

• View blockchain activity using explorers like Etherscan

• Restore to another wallet using your recovery phrase if needed

6. Is there customer support if I need help?

Yes. Ledger provides comprehensive support through:

• Help Center with detailed articles and tutorials

• Ledger Academy for educational resources

• Customer support team for technical issues

• Active community forums for user discussions

• Social media channels for updates and announcements

We're committed to ensuring every user feels confident and supported throughout their security journey.
