Welcome to Ledger. Your Journey to Sovereign Security Starts Here.

Congratulations on taking the first step toward truly owning and securing your digital assets. In a world where digital value is fundamental, Ledger provides the uncompromising security and peace of mind you need to explore the crypto universe with confidence. This page is your launchpad.

Ledger isn't just a wallet; it's the foundation for your digital independence. Our hardware wallets—the Ledger Stax, Nano X, and Nano S Plus—are built on a singular principle: your private keys, the critical secrets that control your crypto, should never be exposed to the internet. This is the core of self-custody.

Why Your Crypto Security Needs an Upgrade

If you buy, hold, or trade cryptocurrencies on an exchange or use a software wallet, your private keys are stored on internet-connected servers or devices. This makes them vulnerable.

• Hacks & Breaches: Centralized exchanges are prime targets for attackers.

• Phishing Scams: A single mistaken click can drain a hot wallet.

• Platform Risk: Your assets can be frozen or seized based on a platform's decisions.

The Ledger Solution is elegant and robust: Your private keys are generated and stored in a certified, unhackable secure chip (the same technology used in passports and credit cards) within your Ledger device. Transactions are signed offline in this secure environment and only then broadcast to the blockchain. Your keys never leave the device.

Your Simple 3-Step Journey to Self-Custody

Step 1: Get Your Ledger Device

Step 2: Set Up with Ledger Live

Ledger Live is your secure command center for the crypto world.

1. Download Ledger Live: Only ever from our official website, Ledger.com. It's the free, all-in-one companion app for your device.

2. Initialize Your Device: Follow the on-screen instructions in Ledger Live. Your device will generate a unique 24-word Recovery Phrase. This phrase is your crypto. Write it down by hand on the provided recovery sheet and store it in a safe, offline place. Ledger will never ask for this phrase.

3. Create a PIN Code: This local code protects your physical device from unauthorized access.

Step 3: Explore, Manage & Grow

With your device set up, a world of possibilities opens via Ledger Live:

• Buy, Sell, & Swap: Securely buy crypto with a credit card or via our partners directly into your secure Ledger wallets.

• Manage 5,500+ Assets: Hold Bitcoin, Ethereum, and all your favorite coins and tokens.

• Stake & Earn: Grow your assets by staking directly from Ledger Live, all while your keys remain secure in your device.

• Connect to Web3: Use your Ledger as a universal security key to safely interact with Decentralized Applications (DeFi, NFTs) on platforms like Ethereum, Polygon, and Solana. Approve transactions with a button press, keeping your keys safe.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What is the 24-word Recovery Phrase, and why is it so important?
Your Recovery Phrase (or "seed phrase") is a human-readable representation of the private keys generated by your Ledger device. It is the master key to all your crypto assets on that device. Anyone with this phrase can control your funds. This is why you must write it down on paper and store it securely offline. Your Ledger device itself is just a hardened, convenient way to use this phrase without exposing it.

2. Can I recover my crypto if I lose my Ledger device or forget my PIN?
Yes. This is the critical role of your Recovery Phrase. Simply acquire a new Ledger (or any compatible wallet), select the "Restore from Recovery Phrase" option, and enter your 24 words in the exact order. Your full portfolio and transaction history will be restored, as they live on the blockchain, not on the physical device.

3. Is Ledger Live mandatory? Can I use other software with my Ledger?
While Ledger Live is our recommended, all-in-one application for setup, portfolio management, and buying, your Ledger device is compatible with over 50 third-party wallets and applications. You can connect it to software like MetaMask, Phantom, or Solflare to interact with specific blockchains and dApps, leveraging your Ledger's security for transaction signing.

4. What’s the difference between the Nano S Plus and the Nano X?
The Nano S Plus is USB-only, has a large screen, and offers excellent security for managing 100s of applications. It's a fantastic entry-point. The Nano X adds Bluetooth connectivity (for use with the Ledger Live mobile app) and more memory, allowing you to install 100+ applications simultaneously. It's designed for users with diverse portfolios who want mobile convenience.

5. How does connecting my Ledger to dApps and DeFi protocols keep me safe?
When you connect your Ledger to a website like a DeFi platform, you are using a "bridge" (like MetaMask). Your private keys remain securely in your device. Every transaction request from the dApp must be sent to your Ledger device, where you physically verify the details on its screen and press a button to approve. Even if your computer is compromised, the attacker cannot sign a transaction without your physical approval on the secure device.

6. Where is the safest place to buy a Ledger device?
Always purchase directly from Ledger.com. Buying from our official store guarantees your device is genuine, has not been tampered with, and comes with a full warranty. We strongly advise against purchasing from unauthorized third-party resellers on platforms like Amazon or eBay, due to the risk of tampering and scams.
