Ledger is the world's leading hardware wallet provider, offering the most secure way to store cryptocurrency. Unlike exchange wallets, Ledger keeps your private keys offline in a secure chip, protecting your assets from hackers, phishing attacks, and online threats. With Ledger, you have complete control and ownership of your digital assets.

Setting up your Ledger is simple and secure. First, visit ledger.com/start and download Ledger Live. Connect your device via USB, create a PIN code of 4-8 digits, and write down your 24-word recovery phrase on the provided recovery sheet. Never share this phrase with anyone or store it digitally. Complete the setup by verifying your recovery phrase on the device, and you're ready to start managing your crypto safely.

Your 24-word recovery phrase is the master key to your cryptocurrency. Write it down on the recovery sheet included with your Ledger and store it in a secure location like a safe or safety deposit box. Never take photos, store it on your computer, or share it with anyone—not even Ledger support. This phrase is the only way to recover your funds if your device is lost or damaged.

Absolutely! Ledger supports over 5,500 different cryptocurrencies and tokens. Through Ledger Live, you can install multiple cryptocurrency apps directly onto your device. Whether you hold Bitcoin, Ethereum, Cardano, Polkadot, or thousands of other assets, you can manage them all from one secure hardware wallet. Simply install the apps you need and switch between them seamlessly.

Yes, Ledger Live is completely safe and is the official companion app for your Ledger hardware wallet. It's open-source and regularly audited by security experts. Ledger Live allows you to manage your crypto portfolio, send and receive assets, stake coins, and access DeFi applications—all while your private keys remain secure on your Ledger device. Always download Ledger Live from the official ledger.com website to ensure authenticity.

If your Ledger device is lost or damaged, your funds are not lost. As long as you have your 24-word recovery phrase, you can restore all your accounts to a new Ledger device or compatible wallet. Simply purchase a new Ledger, select the restore option during setup, and enter your recovery phrase. Your complete portfolio will be recovered instantly. This is why protecting your recovery phrase is absolutely critical.
