Ledger Wallet® is a leading cryptocurrency security solution designed to give users full control over their digital assets. By combining advanced hardware wallet technology with the official Ledger mobile and desktop application, Ledger delivers a secure, user-friendly, and reliable way to store, manage, and grow cryptocurrency portfolios. Trusted by millions worldwide, Ledger Wallet sets the standard for crypto asset protection.
Ledger Wallet® is a hardware-based crypto wallet solution that keeps your private keys offline, away from online threats. It works in conjunction with the official Ledger Live application, allowing users to securely manage their crypto assets across both mobile and desktop platforms.
Unlike software-only wallets or exchange-based accounts, Ledger Wallet® ensures that your private keys never leave the device. This significantly reduces the risk of hacking, phishing attacks, and unauthorized access, making Ledger one of the safest choices in the crypto ecosystem.
The Ledger Live app is the official software developed by Ledger to manage and interact with Ledger hardware wallet. It is available on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS, offering seamless access across devices.
With Ledger Live, users can:
Send and receive cryptocurrency securely
Buy, sell, and swap digital assets within the app
Stake supported coins to earn rewards
Track portfolio performance in real time
Install and manage blockchain apps on their Ledger device
The mobile version provides on-the-go access, while the desktop application offers a larger interface ideal for detailed portfolio management.
Security is at the core of Ledger Wallet®. Ledger hardware wallets use Secure Element (SE) chips, a tamper-resistant technology commonly found in passports and banking cards. Every transaction requires physical confirmation on the device, ensuring that malware or unauthorized software cannot access your funds.
Key security features include:
Offline storage of private keys
PIN code and passphrase protection
Verified firmware updates
Transparent and audited security processes
With Ledger Wallet®, users remain the sole owners of their crypto assets at all times.
Ledger Wallet supports over 5,500 cryptocurrencies and tokens, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), XRP, Cardano (ADA), Polygon (MATIC), and thousands of ERC-20 tokens. This wide compatibility makes Ledger ideal for both beginners and advanced users managing diversified portfolios.
Through the Ledger Live app, users can easily add or remove accounts, manage multiple assets, and stay updated with market values from one centralized dashboard.
The Ledger Mobile App offers flexibility and convenience, especially when paired with Ledger Nano X via Bluetooth. Users can manage assets, approve transactions, and track portfolios from anywhere.
The desktop version provides enhanced visibility, advanced analytics, and a more detailed overview of assets. Both versions maintain the same high-security standards, ensuring a consistent and safe experience across platforms.
