Get answers to common questions about Ledger hardware wallets, setup process, and security features.
A hardware wallet is a physical device that stores your cryptocurrency private keys offline, providing the highest level of security. Unlike software wallets that are connected to the internet, hardware wallets keep your keys isolated from online threats like hackers, malware, and phishing attacks. This 'cold storage' approach ensures your crypto assets remain safe even if your computer or phone is compromised.
Setting up your Ledger is simple: 1) Download Ledger Live app from our official website, 2) Connect your device using the USB cable, 3) Follow the on-screen instructions to create a PIN, 4) Write down your 24-word recovery phrase and store it safely, 5) Install cryptocurrency apps for the coins you want to manage. The entire process takes about 10-15 minutes and our setup guide walks you through each step.
If you lose your Ledger device, your cryptocurrency is still safe as long as you have your 24-word recovery phrase. You can purchase a new Ledger device (or use any compatible hardware wallet) and restore your entire wallet using your recovery phrase. This is why it's crucial to store your recovery phrase in a secure location separate from your device. Your funds are tied to the recovery phrase, not the physical device.
Ledger supports over 5,000 cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), Ripple (XRP), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), and thousands of ERC-20 tokens. We regularly add support for new cryptocurrencies and tokens. You can check the complete list of supported assets in Ledger Live or on our website. Popular DeFi tokens, NFTs, and most major altcoins are supported.
No, your recovery phrase is never stored on the Ledger device itself. When you first set up your device, it generates the recovery phrase and displays it on the screen for you to write down. After you confirm you've written it down correctly, the phrase is never shown again. The device only stores the cryptographic keys derived from your recovery phrase. This means even if someone steals your device, they cannot access your recovery phrase.
Yes, Ledger devices are compatible with many third-party wallet applications beyond Ledger Live. You can use your Ledger with popular wallets like MetaMask, MyEtherWallet, Electrum, and many others. This gives you flexibility to choose the interface you prefer while maintaining the security of your Ledger device. However, we recommend using Ledger Live for the best experience and latest security updates.
You should update your Ledger firmware whenever a new version is available. Firmware updates include security improvements, bug fixes, and support for new cryptocurrencies. Ledger Live will notify you when updates are available. Updates are free and typically take just a few minutes to install. Regular updates ensure you have the latest security features and optimal performance.
All three devices offer the same level of security but differ in features: Nano S Plus ($79) is the most affordable with USB-C connectivity and supports 100+ apps. Nano X ($149) adds Bluetooth connectivity for mobile use and has a built-in battery. Stax ($279) features a revolutionary curved E Ink screen, wireless charging, and premium design. Choose based on your budget and whether you need mobile/wireless features.
