Why Choose Hardware Wallets Over Software?
Unlike software wallets that store private keys on internet-connected devices, hardware wallets keep your keys completely offline. This "cold storage" approach makes it virtually impossible for hackers to access your funds remotely. Even if your computer is compromised, your crypto remains secure in your hardware wallet. With features like secure PIN entry, recovery phrase backup, and transaction verification on the device screen, you maintain complete control over your digital assets.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a hardware wallet and why do I need one?
A hardware wallet is a physical device that stores your cryptocurrency private keys offline, away from internet-connected devices. This 'cold storage' approach provides the highest level of security for your digital assets. Unlike software wallets, hardware wallets are immune to online attacks, malware, and hacking attempts. They're essential for anyone serious about cryptocurrency security, especially if you're holding significant amounts or planning long-term investments.
How do I recover my funds if I lose my Ledger device?
When you set up your Ledger device, you'll create a 24-word recovery phrase (also called a seed phrase). This phrase is the master key to all your cryptocurrencies. If your device is lost, stolen, or damaged, you can simply purchase a new Ledger device and restore all your accounts using this recovery phrase. It's crucial to write down your recovery phrase and store it in a safe, offline location. Never share it with anyone or store it digitally.
Can I use my Ledger wallet with different computers and phones?
Absolutely! Your Ledger device is portable and can be used with any computer or smartphone that has the Ledger Live app installed. Your accounts and cryptocurrencies are tied to your device and recovery phrase, not to any specific computer or phone. You can seamlessly switch between devices while maintaining access to your funds. For mobile devices, the Ledger Nano X offers Bluetooth connectivity for wireless transactions.
How many different cryptocurrencies can I store on my Ledger?
Ledger devices support over 5,500 cryptocurrencies and tokens, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and thousands of altcoins and ERC-20 tokens. While your device has limited storage for cryptocurrency apps (around 100 apps simultaneously), you can install and uninstall apps as needed without losing access to your funds. The cryptocurrencies themselves aren't stored on the device - they're on the blockchain, and your device simply stores the keys to access them.
Is it safe to buy a Ledger device from third-party sellers?
We strongly recommend purchasing Ledger devices only from the official Ledger website or authorized retailers. Devices from unauthorized sellers might be compromised, pre-configured, or counterfeit. These tampered devices could potentially steal your cryptocurrencies. Always verify that your device is genuine by checking for proper packaging, authentication stickers, and running the authenticity check in Ledger Live when you first connect your device.
