Get Started
What is a Ledger Wallet?
A Ledger hardware wallet is a specialized device that provides the highest level of security for your cryptocurrency assets. Unlike software wallets that are connected to the internet and vulnerable to hacking, a Ledger wallet keeps your private keys—the critical piece of information that proves ownership of your assets—entirely offline. This method, known as "cold storage," isolates your keys from online threats like malware and phishing attacks. By signing transactions within the device's secure chip, you can interact with the blockchain without ever exposing your keys, ensuring your digital wealth remains uncompromisingly yours.

Begin by connecting your Ledger hardware wallet to your computer using the provided USB cable. Ensure the connection is secure before proceeding.

Trust in a system where you don't have to trust anyone but yourself. Your keys, your crypto.
