The device's secure boot process verifies the integrity of both the operating system and installed applications, preventing unauthorized modifications that could compromise your security.
Our dedicated security team continuously monitors emerging threats and releases firmware updates to address new vulnerabilities. The Ledger Live app automatically notifies you of available updates, ensuring your device stays protected against the latest threats.

Ledger Live is your gateway to managing your cryptocurrencies safely. Available for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android, the app provides a secure interface to interact with your hardware wallet. Always download from the official Ledger website to ensure authenticity.
Your 24-word recovery phrase is the most important part of your cryptocurrency security setup. Write it down on paper using the provided recovery sheet, double-check each word for accuracy, and store it in a secure, fireproof location. Consider making multiple copies and storing them in different secure locations.
Never store your recovery phrase digitally, take photos of it, or share it with anyone. If someone gains access to your recovery phrase, they can access all your cryptocurrencies even without your physical device.
Always purchase your Ledger device directly from the official Ledger website or authorized resellers. Check the authenticity of your device using the Ledger Live app's genuine check feature. This verifies that your device hasn't been tampered with during manufacturing or shipping.
If your device arrives with a recovery phrase already written down or if the device appears to have been opened, do not use it. Contact Ledger support immediately for a replacement device.
Get answers to the most common questions about Ledger hardware wallets, security, and cryptocurrency storage from our experts.
A hardware wallet is a physical device that securely stores your cryptocurrency private keys offline. Unlike software wallets that are connected to the internet and vulnerable to hacking, hardware wallets keep your keys in a secure chip that never connects to the internet. This 'cold storage' approach provides the highest level of security for your digital assets. With the increasing value of cryptocurrencies and sophisticated cyber attacks, a hardware wallet is essential for anyone serious about protecting their investments long-term.
Ledger stands out in several key areas: security, user experience, and cryptocurrency support. Our devices use certified secure elements (CC EAL5+) - the same chips used in credit cards and passports - providing bank-grade security. The custom BOLOS operating system ensures complete isolation between applications. Ledger supports over 5,500 cryptocurrencies and tokens, more than any other hardware wallet. Our Ledger Live app provides an intuitive interface for managing your portfolio, and we have the largest market share with over 6 million satisfied customers worldwide since 2014.
If your Ledger device is lost, stolen, or damaged, your cryptocurrencies are still completely safe. During setup, your device generates a 24-word recovery phrase (also called a seed phrase) that serves as a backup to all your private keys. You can use this phrase to restore all your accounts on any new Ledger device or any compatible wallet software. This is why it's crucial to write down and securely store your recovery phrase during initial setup. As long as you have your recovery phrase, you can always regain access to your funds.
Yes, Ledger hardware wallets are compatible with most major cryptocurrency exchanges, DeFi platforms, and wallet applications. You can connect your Ledger to platforms like MetaMask, MyEtherWallet, Electrum, and many others for secure transaction signing. For DeFi interactions on Ethereum, Polygon, and other networks, your Ledger integrates seamlessly with popular DeFi protocols through supported wallet interfaces. The device acts as your secure key storage while allowing you to interact with various platforms - you get the convenience of DeFi with the security of cold storage.
Ledger regularly releases firmware updates to add new features, support additional cryptocurrencies, and enhance security. You should update your firmware whenever Ledger Live notifies you of an available update, typically every few months. The update process is completely safe and maintains all your existing accounts and settings. Updates are cryptographically signed by Ledger and verified by your device before installation. Your private keys and recovery phrase remain unchanged during updates. Always update through the official Ledger Live app and never through third-party software.
If your brand-new Ledger device displays a recovery phrase during initial setup that you didn't generate, or if you receive a device with a pre-written recovery phrase, DO NOT USE IT. This could indicate the device has been tampered with. Immediately contact Ledger support for a replacement. A legitimate Ledger device will only generate a recovery phrase during the initialization process that you control. The device should arrive sealed with no recovery phrase included in the packaging. This is a critical security check that protects you from compromised devices that could result in loss of funds.
