Get answers to the most common questions about Ledger hardware wallets and cryptocurrency security
Ledger hardware wallets use a certified secure element (CC EAL5+) that stores your private keys offline, completely isolated from internet-connected devices. Unlike software wallets, your private keys never leave the device and cannot be compromised by malware, phishing attacks, or computer vulnerabilities. Every transaction must be physically confirmed on the device before signing.
Ledger hardware wallets support over 5,000 cryptocurrencies and tokens, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and all major altcoins. You can manage multiple crypto assets through Ledger Live app, which provides a unified interface for portfolio management, staking, buying, selling, and swapping cryptocurrencies directly from the security of your hardware wallet.
If you lose your Ledger device, your crypto assets remain safe. During initial setup, you receive a 24-word recovery phrase (seed phrase) that acts as a master key to all your accounts. You can restore all your cryptocurrency accounts on any new Ledger device or compatible wallet using this recovery phrase. Always store your recovery phrase securely offline, never digitally.
Setting up your Ledger hardware wallet typically takes 10-15 minutes. The process includes initializing the device, setting a PIN, writing down your 24-word recovery phrase, and installing the Ledger Live app. Once setup is complete, adding cryptocurrency apps to your device and creating accounts takes just a few additional minutes per currency.
