Secure your cryptocurrencies and digital assets with Ledger hardware wallets. Follow this guide to set up your Ledger device safely and effectively.
Ledger hardware wallets provide top-tier security for your digital assets. Unlike software wallets, hardware wallets store your private keys offline, keeping them safe from hackers and malware. By using Ledger, you maintain complete control of your cryptocurrencies while enjoying ease of use for sending, receiving, and managing multiple digital assets.
Ledger devices support over 5,500 cryptocurrencies, allowing users to manage Bitcoin, Ethereum, and a wide range of altcoins securely in one place. Setting up your Ledger wallet is simple, but following the correct procedures ensures maximum security.
Never share your recovery phrase or PIN with anyone, including Ledger support
Always verify your transactions on the Ledger device screen rather than trusting the computer screen
Keep your recovery phrase in a secure location, preferably offline, and consider using fireproof storage
Regularly update Ledger Live and your device firmware to ensure you have the latest security features
Avoid using public Wi-Fi networks when managing your cryptocurrency to prevent interception attacks
Educate yourself about phishing scams and only download Ledger apps or updates from official sources
Diversify storage: consider using multiple Ledger devices or other secure methods for long-term holdings
