Your gateway to secure cryptocurrency storage. Begin your journey to complete digital asset protection.
In today's digital economy, protecting your cryptocurrency assets is more critical than ever. Ledger provides industry-leading hardware wallet solutions trusted by millions worldwide. Whether you're a seasoned investor or just beginning your crypto journey, Ledger.com/start is your comprehensive resource for setting up and securing your digital wealth.
Hardware wallets represent the gold standard in cryptocurrency security. Unlike software wallets that remain connected to the internet, Ledger devices store your private keys offline in a secure chip, making them virtually immune to online hacking attempts, phishing attacks, and malware. This offline storage method, known as "cold storage," ensures your assets remain protected even if your computer is compromised.
The Ledger ecosystem combines cutting-edge security hardware with user-friendly software. Ledger Live, our companion application, provides an intuitive interface for managing your entire cryptocurrency portfolio. From Bitcoin and Ethereum to thousands of altcoins and tokens, you can send, receive, stake, and monitor your assets—all while your private keys remain safely stored on your device.
