Your Gateway to a Secure Web3 World
Welcome to Ledger, the most trusted name in hardware wallets. We provide you with the ultimate security and control over your digital assets.
The Ledger Live App
Ledger Live is your essential companion for your hardware wallet. This all-in-one application allows you to manage over 5,500 coins and tokens from one secure interface. With Ledger Live, you can safely send, receive, buy, sell, and stake cryptocurrencies. It’s a powerful and intuitive platform that gives you a real-time view of your portfolio, detailed transaction history, and access to the decentralized world of Web3 and NFTs. Your private keys never leave your device, ensuring maximum security while you interact with the digital asset landscape.
Your Simple Setup Guide
Setting up your Ledger device is a quick and straightforward process designed for all users. Your first step is to visit Ledger.com/Start, where you'll find easy-to-follow instructions. You'll begin by connecting your Ledger device to your computer via USB. The device will then guide you to create a secure PIN code. The most crucial step is to write down your unique 24-word recovery phrase on the provided sheets. This phrase is the only way to recover your assets if your device is lost or damaged. Keep it in a safe, offline location—and never share it with anyone.
Unparalleled Security
Ledger devices are built around a certified Secure Element chip, similar to those used in passports and credit cards. This chip isolates your private keys, making them impossible to extract. This physical isolation is your strongest defense against hacks and malware.
True Self-Custody
With a Ledger device, you are the only one in control of your crypto. Unlike exchanges or online wallets, you hold the keys, giving you true ownership. Every transaction requires your physical validation on the device itself, ensuring no one can move your assets without your consent.
Wide Compatibility
Your Ledger device is the universal key to the crypto world. It supports over 5,500 digital assets and seamlessly integrates with popular third-party wallets like MetaMask. This broad compatibility gives you the freedom to manage your entire portfolio from a single, secure device.
