What is Ledger Wallet?

Ledger Wallet is a family of hardware devices that securely store your private keys and sign transactions offline. Designed for collectors, traders, and institutions alike, Ledger hardware uses a certified secure element, isolated signing, and strong firmware to keep your assets safe.

Combined with Ledger Live — the desktop and mobile companion app — Ledger Wallet becomes a full management suite: track balances, install crypto apps, stake, swap, and monitor activity from one interface while your keys remain in the device.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Private keys offline: Keys never leave the secure element on the device.
  • Multi-asset support: Bitcoin, Ethereum, NFTs, and thousands of tokens.
  • Secure firmware updates: Verified and signed to prevent tampering.
  • Transaction verification: Every send must be confirmed on-device.
  • Recovery phrase: One-time seed to restore your wallet securely.
Pro tip: Use a steel backup plate or safe for your recovery phrase — paper can fail.

Enable a passphrase (optional) to create a hidden wallet — an extra defense against seed exposure.

How to Get Started

  1. Purchase an official Ledger device from the Ledger store or an authorized reseller.
  2. Download Ledger Live from the official site and install it on your desktop or phone.
  3. Initialize the device, write down the recovery phrase offline, and verify it immediately.
  4. Install the crypto apps you need via Ledger Live and add accounts to view balances.
  5. Always confirm transaction details on the device screen before approving.

Use your recovery phrase to restore your wallet to a new Ledger device or compatible wallet. Keep the phrase offline and secure.
