A Ledger hardware wallet is a physical device that securely stores your cryptocurrency private keys offline. Unlike software wallets, your private keys never leave the device and are protected by a secure element chip, making it virtually impossible for hackers to access your crypto even if your computer is compromised.
Setting up your Ledger is simple: 1) Connect your device to your computer, 2) Follow the on-screen setup instructions, 3) Write down your 24-word recovery phrase and store it safely, 4) Download Ledger Live app, 5) Install cryptocurrency apps you need, and 6) Transfer your crypto to your new secure wallet. The entire process takes about 15-20 minutes.
If you lose your Ledger device, your crypto is still safe as long as you have your 24-word recovery phrase. You can purchase a new Ledger device (or use any compatible hardware wallet) and restore all your accounts using your recovery phrase. This is why it's crucial to store your recovery phrase securely and never share it with anyone.
Ledger supports over 5,500 cryptocurrencies and tokens, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, all major altcoins, and thousands of ERC-20 tokens. Popular supported coins include Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Cardano (ADA), Polkadot (DOT), Chainlink (LINK), and many more. You can check the full list on the Ledger website.
Yes! The Ledger Nano X has Bluetooth connectivity, allowing you to manage your crypto on-the-go with the Ledger Live mobile app (iOS and Android). The Ledger Nano S Plus connects via USB-C adapter. You can send, receive, and check your portfolio directly from your smartphone while keeping your private keys secure in the hardware wallet.
No, never buy a Ledger device from third-party sellers, second-hand marketplaces, or unofficial retailers. Always purchase directly from Ledger's official website or authorized resellers. Third-party devices may be tampered with or compromised. Ledger devices come with tamper-evident packaging and authenticity verification to ensure your device hasn't been modified.
