Everything you need to know about setting up and using your Ledger hardware wallet
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, malware, and phishing attacks.
Setting up your Ledger is simple: 1) Connect your device to your computer, 2) Set up a secure PIN, 3) Write down your 24-word recovery phrase, and 4) Install Ledger Live app. The entire process takes about 10-15 minutes and our step-by-step guide will walk you through each step.
If you lose your Ledger device, your crypto is still safe. You can restore access to all your accounts using your 24-word recovery phrase on a new Ledger device or any compatible wallet. This is why it's crucial to keep your recovery phrase secure and never share it with anyone.
Ledger supports over 1,800 cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and all major altcoins. You can manage multiple crypto accounts simultaneously through the Ledger Live app, which provides a unified interface for all your digital assets.
Yes, Ledger Live is completely free to download and use. It's the official companion app for your Ledger device, allowing you to manage your crypto, check balances, send and receive transactions, and install apps for different cryptocurrencies.
Your 24-word recovery phrase is generated using industry-standard cryptographic methods (BIP39). It should be written down on paper and stored in a secure location, separate from your device. Never store it digitally or share it with anyone - whoever has access to your recovery phrase has access to your crypto.
