Get answers to common questions about Ledger hardware wallets, crypto security, and getting started with cold storage.
A hardware wallet is a physical device that stores your cryptocurrency private keys offline, away from internet-connected devices. Unlike software wallets or exchanges, hardware wallets provide the highest level of security by keeping your private keys isolated from potential online threats like malware, phishing attacks, and exchange hacks. Think of it as a personal vault for your digital assets that only you control.
Ledger devices use a certified secure element chip (CC EAL5+) that stores your private keys in an isolated environment. Even if your computer is infected with malware, hackers cannot access your crypto because the private keys never leave the secure chip. All transactions must be physically confirmed on the device itself, providing an additional layer of protection against unauthorized access.
If you lose your Ledger device, your cryptocurrency is still safe. During setup, you create a 24-word recovery phrase that acts as a backup to your wallet. You can use this recovery phrase to restore your accounts on a new Ledger device or compatible wallet software. This is why it's crucial to store your recovery phrase securely and never share it with anyone.
Ledger devices support over 5,500 cryptocurrencies and tokens, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and most popular altcoins and DeFi tokens. You can install specific apps for different cryptocurrencies through Ledger Live. Popular supported assets include BTC, ETH, ADA, DOT, LINK, and many ERC-20 tokens. New cryptocurrencies are regularly added to expand compatibility.
Setting up your Ledger wallet typically takes 10-15 minutes. The process involves unboxing your device, downloading Ledger Live software, initializing the device with a PIN, generating your 24-word recovery phrase, and installing apps for your preferred cryptocurrencies. Our guided setup wizard makes the process straightforward, even for beginners new to cryptocurrency.
Yes, hardware wallets provide significantly better security than exchanges. When you keep crypto on an exchange, you don't control the private keys - the exchange does. This means your funds are at risk if the exchange gets hacked, goes out of business, or freezes accounts. With a Ledger, you have complete control over your private keys and funds, following the crypto principle of 'not your keys, not your coins.'
