When you visit Ledger.com/start, you're taking the first step toward securing your cryptocurrency investments with industry-leading hardware wallet technology. Since 2014, Ledger has been at the forefront of crypto security, protecting over $15 billion in digital assets for millions of users worldwide.
Ledger hardware wallets utilize a proprietary operating system called BOLOS (Blockchain Open Ledger Operating System) running on a secure element chip. This certified secure chip (Common Criteria EAL5+) is the same technology used in credit cards and passports, providing bank-grade security for your cryptocurrency private keys.
Unlike software wallets or exchange storage, Ledger devices store your private keys completely offline. This "cold storage" approach means your crypto assets remain protected even if your computer or smartphone is compromised by malware or hackers.
Ledger wallets support over 5,500 cryptocurrencies and tokens, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), Ripple (XRP), Cardano (ADA), Polkadot (DOT), Chainlink (LINK), and numerous DeFi tokens. The Ledger Live companion app provides a unified interface to manage all your crypto holdings in one place.
Setting up your Ledger device is straightforward and takes only 10-15 minutes. After connecting your device, you'll download the official Ledger Live software, create a new wallet or restore an existing one, and secure your 24-word recovery phrase. This recovery phrase is your master key to accessing your crypto assets, so it must be stored securely offline.
Security experts consistently recommend hardware wallets for long-term cryptocurrency storage. Ledger's commitment to security extends beyond hardware - they maintain an active bug bounty program, conduct regular security audits, and provide transparent communication about any security updates through their official channels.
Always purchase your Ledger device directly from the official Ledger website or authorized resellers. Counterfeit devices pose significant security risks and may compromise your cryptocurrency assets. Ledger devices come with tamper-evident packaging and authenticity verification features.
