Welcome to Ledger
Welcome to Ledger, where security and control come together to help you manage your digital assets with confidence. Ledger provides tools designed to protect your cryptocurrencies and digital assets while keeping them accessible whenever you need them. Whether you are new to crypto or already experienced, Ledger offers a reliable starting point for self-custody and long-term security.
By using a Ledger hardware wallet, you take ownership of your private keys and reduce your exposure to online risks. Ledger’s mission is to make digital asset security simple, effective, and accessible for everyone.
What Is Ledger?
Ledger is a global company specializing in secure hardware and software solutions for managing digital assets. Its products are designed to keep private keys offline, protecting them from hacking, malware, and unauthorized access.
Unlike online wallets or exchanges, Ledger does not hold your assets. You remain in full control at all times. This approach, known as self-custody, ensures that only you can authorize transactions and access your funds.
Ledger devices use advanced security technology, including a secure element chip, to safeguard sensitive information. This same type of technology is commonly used in passports and payment cards.
Why Choose a Hardware Wallet?
Storing digital assets online can expose them to various risks, including phishing attempts, malicious software, and data breaches. A hardware wallet significantly reduces these risks by isolating private keys from the internet.
With a Ledger hardware wallet:
Private keys stay offline
Transactions require physical confirmation
Unauthorized access is prevented
You stay protected even if your computer or phone is compromised
This added layer of security makes hardware wallets a preferred choice for long-term holders and active users alike.
How Ledger Works
Ledger hardware wallets store your private keys securely inside the device. When you initiate a transaction using a connected app, the transaction must be verified and approved directly on the Ledger device.
Your private keys never leave the device, and each action requires your confirmation. This ensures that no transaction can occur without your knowledge or consent.
Ledger devices are designed to be easy to use while maintaining strong security at every step.

Ownership and Self-Custody
One of Ledger’s core principles is ownership. When you use a Ledger device, you control your private keys and, therefore, your assets. No third party can access or freeze your funds.
Self-custody provides independence and long-term reliability, especially in an environment where online platforms may experience outages or restrictions.
Ledger gives you the tools to take responsibility for your digital assets while maintaining strong security.
