Everything you need to know about getting started with Ledger hardware wallets.
A hardware wallet is a physical device that stores your cryptocurrency private keys offline. Unlike software wallets that store keys on internet-connected devices, hardware wallets keep your crypto completely isolated from online threats. This makes them the safest way to store cryptocurrency long-term.
Setting up a Ledger device typically takes 3-5 minutes. The process is guided step-by-step through the Ledger Live app. You'll create a PIN, write down your 24-word recovery phrase, and install crypto apps. The interface is designed to be user-friendly for beginners while maintaining security.
If you lose your Ledger device, your cryptocurrency is still safe. During setup, you receive a 24-word recovery phrase. You can use this phrase to restore access to your funds on any compatible wallet or new Ledger device. This is why it's crucial to write down and securely store your recovery phrase.
Ledger supports over 5,500 cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and all major altcoins. The Ledger Live app has built-in support for 50+ cryptocurrencies, and you can manage additional coins through third-party applications integrated with your Ledger device.
Yes, you can stake many cryptocurrencies directly through Ledger Live, including Ethereum (ETH), Cardano (ADA), Tezos (XTZ), Cosmos (ATOM), and others. Staking rewards are automatically deposited to your account while your assets remain secured by your Ledger device.
For maximum security, always buy Ledger devices directly from Ledger's official website or authorized resellers. Devices from unknown sellers could be tampered with. Ledger devices have built-in security checks, but purchasing from official sources eliminates any risk.
Genuine Ledger devices have several security features: cryptographically signed firmware, attestation during setup, tamper-evident packaging, and verification through Ledger Live. The device will also perform self-checks during initialization to ensure authenticity.
Yes, you can use your Ledger device with multiple computers and smartphones by installing Ledger Live on each device. Your private keys remain secure on the hardware wallet, while Ledger Live apps sync your account information across devices.
