Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Ledger hardware wallets, setup, security, and managing your cryptocurrencies safely.

A Ledger hardware wallet is a physical device that stores your cryptocurrency private keys offline, providing the highest level of security for your digital assets. Unlike software wallets or exchanges, your private keys never leave the device and remain protected from online threats, malware, and hacking attempts. This 'cold storage' approach ensures you have complete control over your cryptocurrencies while keeping them secure from cyber attacks.

Setting up your Ledger device is straightforward: First, download Ledger Live from the official website. Connect your device and follow the on-screen setup wizard. Choose 'Set up as new device', create a PIN (4-8 digits), and write down your 24-word recovery phrase on the provided recovery sheets. Install cryptocurrency apps through Ledger Live, and you're ready to receive and manage your crypto securely. Always verify that your device is genuine and hasn't been tampered with before setup.

If your Ledger device is lost or damaged, you can restore your entire wallet using the 24-word recovery phrase you wrote down during setup. Simply get a new Ledger device (or any BIP39-compatible hardware wallet), choose 'Restore from recovery phrase' during setup, and enter your 24 words in the correct order. All your cryptocurrencies and accounts will be restored. This is why it's crucial to store your recovery phrase securely and separately from your device.

Ledger hardware wallets support over 5,500 cryptocurrencies and tokens, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and thousands of altcoins and ERC-20 tokens. Popular supported currencies include Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, XRP, Cardano, Polkadot, Solana, and many more. You can check the complete list of supported cryptocurrencies on the Ledger website. Each cryptocurrency requires its own app to be installed on your device through Ledger Live.

Yes, Ledger Live is completely safe when downloaded from official sources. Always download from ledger.com or official app stores only. You can verify the authenticity of Ledger Live by checking the digital signature of the downloaded file. Ledger provides detailed instructions for signature verification on their support website. Never download Ledger Live from third-party websites, and be cautious of phishing attempts. The official Ledger will never ask for your recovery phrase.

Absolutely! Your Ledger wallet can be used across multiple devices and platforms. You can access your accounts through Ledger Live on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. You can also use your Ledger with third-party wallets and DeFi applications that support hardware wallet integration. Your accounts remain synchronized across all platforms because they're derived from the same recovery phrase stored on your hardware device. This flexibility allows you to manage your crypto from anywhere while maintaining security.
