Frequently Asked Questions

Got Questions About Ledger?

Find answers to the most common questions about Ledger hardware wallets, security, and cryptocurrency management.

A Ledger hardware wallet is a physical device that securely stores your cryptocurrency private keys offline. Unlike software wallets, your private keys never leave the device, providing the highest level of security against hackers, malware, and other online threats. Ledger devices use certified secure chips and are protected by multiple layers of security.

Setting up your Ledger device is straightforward: 1) Unbox your device and verify it's genuine, 2) Download Ledger Live app from our official website, 3) Connect your device via USB or Bluetooth, 4) Follow the setup wizard to create your PIN and recovery phrase, 5) Install apps for the cryptocurrencies you want to manage. The entire process typically takes 5-10 minutes.

Yes, your cryptocurrency is extremely safe on a Ledger wallet. Our devices use bank-grade security with certified secure chips (CC EAL5+). Your private keys are stored offline and never exposed to the internet. Even if your computer is compromised, your crypto remains secure. Additionally, your 24-word recovery phrase allows you to restore access to your funds on any compatible device.

Ledger supports over 5,500 cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and all major altcoins. You can manage multiple cryptocurrencies simultaneously through the Ledger Live application. Popular supported coins include BTC, ETH, ADA, DOT, XRP, LTC, BCH, EOS, XLM, and thousands of ERC-20 tokens. New coins are regularly added based on community demand.

If you lose your Ledger device, your cryptocurrency is not lost. During setup, you create a 24-word recovery phrase that acts as a backup of your private keys. You can use this recovery phrase to restore access to your funds on a new Ledger device or any compatible BIP39 wallet. This is why it's crucial to store your recovery phrase securely offline, never share it, and never store it digitally.

Yes, Ledger hardware wallets are fully compatible with decentralized finance (DeFi) applications. You can connect your Ledger device to popular DeFi platforms through Ledger Live or third-party wallets like MetaMask. This allows you to securely interact with DeFi protocols for lending, borrowing, trading, and yield farming while keeping your private keys safely stored offline on your Ledger device.
