Ledger Wallet Official

Protect & manage your crypto — hardware-first security

Secure your digital assets with a hardware-first approach

Ledger Wallet combines a tamper-resistant device, an isolated secure element, and an intuitive manager app to keep your private keys offline while making everyday crypto tasks simple.

1
Hardware security (cold storage)
Private keys never leave your device. Transaction approvals happen on-device so malware on your computer cannot sign on your behalf.
2
Wide coin support
Compatible with hundreds of coins and tokens through native apps and partner integrations like Ledger Live, MetaMask, and third‑party wallets.
3
Recovery & backup
Use your recovery phrase (24 words) to restore access if the device is lost — keep it offline and stored safely.

How Ledger protects you

Ledger devices use a Secure Element — a dedicated chip designed to resist physical and software attacks. When combined with a secure firmware and a verified supply chain, this architecture isolates critical signing operations away from your computer or phone. This means even if your host device is compromised, your keys remain safe so long as you guard your recovery phrase and verify transactions on the device screen.

Managing daily crypto tasks

Ledger Live, the native manager app, lets you check balances, send and receive funds, install coin apps on your device, and interact with staking and app integrations. For DeFi and NFTs, connect your Ledger to a companion wallet (for example, MetaMask or WalletConnect) to approve transactions from the secure element. This hybrid workflow keeps convenience without sacrificing private key safety.

Best practices

Buy only from official channels. Never share your recovery phrase or enter it online. Store backups offline — consider a safety deposit box or a steel backup plate. Keep firmware up to date by using Ledger Live, and always verify the transaction details on your device screen before confirming.
