Understanding the technology that keeps your crypto safe
Your private keys are generated and stored within the secure chip of your Ledger device. They never leave the device and are never exposed to your computer or the internet. This means even if your computer is compromised, your crypto remains safe. The secure element chip is designed to resist sophisticated attacks and has the same level of security as chips used in credit cards and passports.
Every transaction must be physically verified and confirmed on your Ledger device screen. You see the exact amount and destination address before approving. This protects you from malware that might try to change transaction details on your computer. What you see on your Ledger screen is what gets signed and sent to the blockchain. No surprises, complete control.
When you set up your Ledger, you'll write down a 24-word recovery phrase. This phrase is the master backup of all your accounts. If your device is lost, stolen, or damaged, you can restore all your accounts on a new Ledger device using this phrase. Store it securely offline—anyone with access to your recovery phrase can access your funds. Never enter it on a computer or take a digital photo of it.
Manage your crypto portfolio with the Ledger Live app, available on desktop and mobile. View your balances, send and receive crypto, stake your assets, and access DeFi applications—all while your private keys remain secure on your device. Ledger Live is regularly updated with new features and supports thousands of cryptocurrencies and tokens across multiple blockchain networks.
A hardware wallet is a physical device that stores your cryptocurrency private keys offline. Unlike software wallets that store keys on your computer or phone (which are connected to the internet), hardware wallets keep your keys completely isolated from online threats. This makes them the most secure way to store cryptocurrency for long-term holdings.
The Nano S Plus is perfect for beginners and budget-conscious users who want solid security. The Nano X adds Bluetooth connectivity for mobile use and has more storage. The Stax is our premium device with a large touchscreen and wireless charging, offering the best user experience. All three devices offer the same level of security with our certified secure element chip.
Yes. Ledger devices use a CC EAL5+ certified secure element chip, the highest level of security certification. Your private keys are generated and stored in this chip and never leave the device. The firmware is regularly audited by independent security experts. Since 2014, no Ledger device has ever been hacked when used properly with a secure recovery phrase.
Your funds are not lost. When you set up your Ledger, you write down a 24-word recovery phrase. If your device is lost or damaged, you can restore all your accounts on a new Ledger device (or any compatible wallet) using this phrase. This is why it's critical to store your recovery phrase securely offline. Anyone with your recovery phrase can access your funds.
Ledger supports over 5,500 cryptocurrencies and tokens, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Cardano, Solana, Polkadot, and thousands of ERC-20 tokens. New cryptocurrencies are regularly added through Ledger Live app updates. You can check the complete list of supported assets on our website or in the Ledger Live app.
Absolutely. Ledger devices work seamlessly with popular DeFi platforms and Web3 applications. You can connect your Ledger to platforms like Uniswap, Aave, Curve, and many others. Your device will prompt you to verify and approve each transaction, ensuring you maintain complete security even while interacting with decentralized applications.
No. Your cryptocurrency doesn't actually live on your Ledger device—it exists on the blockchain. Your Ledger stores the private keys that prove ownership. You only need to connect your device when you want to send crypto or approve transactions. You can check your balance in Ledger Live anytime without connecting your device.
No. There are no subscription fees or monthly charges for using your Ledger device or the Ledger Live app. You pay once for the hardware and that's it. You'll still pay normal blockchain network fees when sending transactions, but these go to miners/validators, not to Ledger. Optional premium services like Ledger Recover are available but completely optional.
