Protect your assets with industry-leading hardware wallet security.
Secure NowIn the world of cryptocurrency, security is ownership. Without strong protection, hackers and scammers can access your funds. That’s why Ledger® provides hardware wallets designed to keep private keys offline. At Ledger.com/start, you can follow the official setup process to ensure maximum protection.
Ledger® devices use a certified secure element chip — the same technology used in passports and credit cards. This makes it resistant to both software and physical attacks. Unlike online wallets, your private keys never touch the internet, which eliminates the most common entry point for hackers.
During setup, you’ll be given a 24-word recovery phrase. This phrase is the ultimate backup of your wallet. If your device is lost or damaged, you can restore your assets with it. However, if someone else gains access, they can steal your funds. For this reason, you should:
When setting up, you’ll create a PIN code. This protects your wallet from unauthorized access. For added protection, you can enable a passphrase, creating an extra layer of security. Even if someone knows your 24 words, without the passphrase they cannot access your funds.
Scammers often try to trick users into giving away sensitive information. They may send emails or build fake websites. Always verify you’re on Ledger.com/start and never click suspicious links. Ledger® does not provide recovery checks through email, and will never request your 24 words.
Ledger® is trusted by millions worldwide. It offers unmatched protection, regular firmware updates, and the flexibility to manage over 5,000 coins and tokens through Ledger Live™. With your device, you are in full control of your digital wealth.
