Everything you need to know about getting started with your Ledger device
A Ledger hardware wallet is a physical device that stores your cryptocurrency private keys offline. It provides the highest level of security by keeping your keys isolated from internet-connected devices, protecting them from hackers and malware.
Ledger uses a secure chip (Secure Element) that stores your private keys and never exposes them to your computer or smartphone. All transactions are signed within the device, and you must physically confirm each transaction on the device screen.
Ledger supports over 5,500 cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and thousands of ERC-20 tokens. You can install specific apps for each cryptocurrency you want to manage through Ledger Live.
