The most trusted hardware wallet for storing cryptocurrency securely offline. Protect your digital wealth with bank-level security technology.
Ledger uses a secure element chip, the same technology found in passports and credit cards, to provide the highest level of security for your private keys. Your cryptographic secrets never leave the device, ensuring complete protection from online threats.
Store and manage over 1,800 cryptocurrencies and tokens including Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and many more. Ledger's versatile platform allows you to consolidate all your digital assets in one secure location.
Manage your crypto assets on-the-go with Ledger Live mobile app or from the comfort of your desktop. The intuitive interface makes it easy to send, receive, and track your portfolio in real-time.
Ledger hardware wallets utilize a proprietary operating system called BOLOS (Blockchain Open Ledger Operating System) that isolates applications from each other, preventing any potential malware from accessing your private keys.
Each transaction must be physically confirmed on the device itself, ensuring that even if your computer is compromised, your assets remain secure. The device generates and stores private keys in its secure element, completely offline and away from internet-connected devices.
With Ledger, you maintain full control over your cryptocurrency. Unlike exchange wallets where you don't control the private keys, Ledger ensures that you - and only you - have access to your digital wealth.
