Get answers to the most common questions about Ledger hardware wallets and cryptocurrency security.
A hardware wallet is a physical device that stores your cryptocurrency private keys completely offline, providing the highest level of security for your digital assets. Unlike software wallets, hardware wallets are immune to online attacks, malware, and phishing attempts. With over $3.8 billion lost to crypto hacks in 2024, using a hardware wallet like Ledger is essential for protecting your investments from theft and ensuring you maintain full control of your funds.
Ledger hardware wallets support over 5,500 cryptocurrencies and tokens, including all major ones like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Cardano (ADA), Solana (SOL), Polkadot (DOT), Polygon (MATIC), Chainlink (LINK), and thousands of ERC-20, BEP-20, and other protocol tokens. The device also supports NFTs and allows you to interact with popular DeFi protocols like Uniswap, Aave, Compound, and over 500 other Web3 applications while keeping your private keys secure.
Setting up your Ledger device is straightforward and typically takes less than 15 minutes. The process involves 5 simple steps: unboxing and verifying your device, downloading the official Ledger Live app, initializing your device with a PIN, creating and verifying your 24-word recovery phrase, and installing cryptocurrency apps. The user-friendly Ledger Live interface guides you through each step with clear instructions, making it accessible even for cryptocurrency beginners.
Your 24-word recovery phrase is the ultimate backup of your hardware wallet. It's a sequence of words that can restore access to all your cryptocurrencies if your Ledger device is lost, stolen, or damaged. This phrase must be written down securely and never shared with anyone or stored digitally. It's the only way to recover your funds, so treat it like the key to your bank vault. Store multiple copies in secure, separate locations and never take photos or store it on connected devices.
Yes, you can fully recover your cryptocurrencies if you lose your Ledger device, as long as you have your 24-word recovery phrase. Simply purchase a new Ledger device (or use any compatible hardware wallet), and during setup, choose the option to restore from recovery phrase. Enter your 24 words in the correct order, and all your crypto assets will be accessible again. This is why securely storing your recovery phrase is crucial—it's your insurance policy for your digital assets.
Ledger offers superior security compared to exchanges and software wallets. Exchange wallets are convenient but risky—you don't control your private keys, and exchanges can be hacked, frozen, or go bankrupt. Software wallets are better but still vulnerable to malware and online attacks. Ledger uses a certified secure element chip (CC EAL5+), the same technology in credit cards and passports, to store your keys completely offline. With over 10 years of proven security and zero successful attacks on the hardware itself, Ledger represents the gold standard for cryptocurrency storage.
