Your Gateway to Crypto Security
At Ledger, we believe that security should never be a compromise when it comes to managing your digital assets. Our hardware wallets provide an impenetrable fortress for your cryptocurrencies, ensuring that you remain in complete control of your private keys and, ultimately, your financial sovereignty.
Why Ledger Stands Apart
Unlike software wallets or exchange storage, Ledger devices keep your private keys isolated within a secure element chip, the same technology used in passports and credit cards. This means your sensitive information never touches your internet-connected devices, providing an air-gapped security solution that is immune to remote attacks.
Our proprietary operating system, BOLOS, adds another layer of protection by ensuring that different applications on your device cannot interfere with each other. This isolation prevents potential vulnerabilities in one application from affecting the security of others.
The Complete Crypto Experience
With Ledger Live, our companion application, you get a seamless interface to manage your entire crypto portfolio. From checking real-time balances to buying, selling, swapping, and staking your assets, Ledger Live brings the entire cryptocurrency ecosystem to your fingertips while maintaining the highest security standards.
Our integration with leading decentralized applications allows you to participate in DeFi protocols, trade on DEXs, and manage your NFT collections—all while your private keys remain securely stored on your hardware device.
Enterprise-Grade Security for Everyone
Ledger's security architecture is designed to meet the rigorous standards of financial institutions while remaining accessible to individual users. Our devices undergo regular penetration testing and security audits by independent third parties to ensure they withstand evolving threats.
The 24-word recovery phrase generated during setup gives you a failsafe to recover your assets if your device is lost or damaged. This phrase is never stored digitally and remains entirely in your control, embodying the true spirit of decentralization.
Continuous Innovation
As the cryptocurrency landscape evolves, so does Ledger. We're constantly developing new features and support for emerging blockchain technologies. Our recent additions include improved NFT management, enhanced DeFi integrations, and support for new consensus mechanisms like proof-of-stake.
Our commitment to open-source principles means that much of our technology is available for community review and contributions, fostering transparency and collective security improvement across the industry.
