Everything you need to know about getting started with Ledger hardware wallets.
A Ledger hardware wallet is a physical device that stores your cryptocurrency private keys offline, providing the highest level of security. Unlike software wallets, your keys never leave the device, protecting them from hackers and malware. The device features a secure element chip - the same technology used in credit cards and passports - to ensure your assets remain safe.
The choice depends on your needs and budget. The Nano S Plus ($79) is perfect for beginners with basic crypto needs. The Nano X ($149) is our most popular choice, offering Bluetooth connectivity for mobile use and larger storage. The Stax ($279) provides a premium experience with a large touchscreen and wireless charging. All devices offer the same security level.
Ledger devices support over 5,500 cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and thousands of altcoins and tokens. Popular supported cryptocurrencies include BTC, ETH, ADA, XRP, DOT, SOL, MATIC, and many more. You can install multiple cryptocurrency apps on your device simultaneously, with the Nano X supporting up to 100 apps and the Stax supporting up to 500 apps.
Your recovery phrase is the master key to your cryptocurrencies. If you lose it, you cannot recover your funds if your device is lost, stolen, or damaged. This is why it's crucial to write down your 24-word recovery phrase during setup and store it in a secure location. Never store it digitally or share it with anyone. Consider using multiple secure physical backups stored in different locations.
If your device is lost or damaged, you can recover all your cryptocurrencies using your 24-word recovery phrase on a new Ledger device or compatible wallet. Your crypto is not stored on the device itself, but on the blockchain. The device only stores your private keys, which can be restored from your recovery phrase. This is why keeping your recovery phrase safe is essential.
Ledger Live is the official companion app that provides the best experience with your Ledger device. While you can use your device with other compatible wallets, Ledger Live offers device management, firmware updates, app installation, portfolio tracking, and secure buying/selling features. It's available for desktop (Windows, Mac, Linux) and mobile (iOS, Android) platforms.
Setting up your Ledger device typically takes about 25-30 minutes. This includes unboxing, downloading Ledger Live, initializing the device, creating your PIN, writing down your recovery phrase, and verifying the backup. The most important step is carefully writing down and verifying your 24-word recovery phrase, which should not be rushed.
Ledger devices use multiple security layers: a certified secure element chip (CC EAL5+), PIN protection, optional passphrase, and the requirement for physical confirmation of every transaction. Your private keys are generated and stored offline, never exposed to your computer or the internet. Even if your computer is compromised by malware, your crypto remains secure on the device.
