Ledger makes the only crypto wallets with a certified secure element chip. Your keys stay offline, your assets stay safe. Used by 7 million people, trusted by institutions, and built in France since 2014.
USB-C, compact, perfect entry point for self-custody.
Bluetooth + USB-C. Manage crypto on the go from your phone.
E Ink touchscreen. Premium design with curved display.
Most wallets rely on software alone. Ledger combines a certified chip, custom OS, and physical verification into something attackers can't touch.
Same chip technology used in passports and military ID cards. Your private keys are generated and stored in a tamper-resistant environment that has passed Common Criteria evaluation at the highest commercial grade. Physical probing, side-channel analysis, fault injection - all tested against.
Ledger's proprietary OS isolates each coin application in its own execution environment. A bug in one app can't leak data from another. Think of it like sandboxing on your phone, but for cryptographic operations running on a secure chip.
Every transaction displays on the Ledger's own screen. What you see on your phone or computer might be compromised, but the device screen can't be spoofed by malware. You press the physical buttons to confirm. No buttons pressed, no transaction signed.
Three wrong PIN attempts trigger a device wipe. Add an optional passphrase for a completely hidden secondary wallet that even physical possession can't reveal.
Ledger Live is your dashboard for crypto. Portfolio tracking, staking, DeFi, NFTs, buying, and swapping - all connected to your hardware wallet.
Real-time balance across all accounts. Performance charts, allocation breakdowns, and fiat conversion in 40+ currencies. See everything at once.
Trade between assets without leaving the app. Rates aggregated from multiple providers. Keys never leave the device during the swap.
Stake ETH, SOL, ATOM, DOT, and more directly from Ledger Live. Earn passive income while maintaining full hardware security. Up to 12% APR.
Browse your Ethereum and Polygon NFT collection with full metadata. Send, receive, and manage NFTs with the same hardware-grade security as your coins.
Connect to DeFi protocols, DAOs, and Web3 apps directly through Ledger Live. Sign transactions on your device for every interaction. No blind signing.
Purchase crypto with credit card, debit card, or bank transfer through integrated partners. Coins deposit directly to your hardware-secured accounts.
Every Ledger uses the same CC EAL5+ secure element. Pick the form factor that fits your life.

The whole process is guided. If you've ever set up a phone, you can set up a Ledger.
Check the tamper-evident seal. Charge Nano X or Stax via USB-C. Nano S Plus works plugged in.
Free app for desktop or mobile. Connect your device and follow the on-screen setup wizard.
Choose your PIN on the device. Write down 24 recovery words. Store them offline. This is your backup.
Add coin apps for your assets. Receive deposits. Explore staking, DeFi, and the NFT gallery.
From first-time buyers to security professionals. Unfiltered takes from real Ledger owners.
"Moved roughly $95k off Coinbase after reading about frozen accounts. Nano X paired with my iPhone via Bluetooth in about 3 minutes. Whole setup took 12 minutes. I check my portfolio on the bus now."
"I manage 22 tokens across Ethereum and Polygon. The NFT gallery is a nice touch - finally see my collection properly secured. Staked ETH through Ledger Live, process was surprisingly painless."
"Third Ledger I own. Gave the first two to family. The Stax with its E Ink touchscreen feels genuinely premium. Only reason for 4 stars is the price, but honestly you get what you pay for in security hardware."
Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, Arbitrum, plus thousands of tokens. If it has a blockchain, Ledger probably supports it.
Join 7 million people who stopped trusting exchanges with their keys. Ledger hardware wallets start at $79. Your peace of mind is worth more than that.
