🔐 How Ledger Wallet Keeps Your Crypto Secure

Your Assets, Protected by Industry-Leading Security

In the world of cryptocurrency, security is everything. Unlike traditional banks, there’s no “forgot password” button when it comes to crypto. That’s why Ledger wallets are built from the ground up to offer the highest level of protection—giving you full control of your digital assets with peace of mind.

Ledger combines a hardware wallet with the Ledger Live app to create the most secure way to buy, manage, and grow your crypto.

🧱 Hardware-Level Security

At the heart of every Ledger wallet is a Certified Secure Element (CC EAL5+), the same type of chip used in passports and banking cards. This chip is designed to resist advanced physical and software attacks, protecting your private keys at all times.

Why this matters:

Ledger wallets don’t just store your crypto—they protect it with military-grade hardware security.

🛡️ Your Keys, Your Crypto

Ledger wallets are non-custodial, which means you are the only one who controls your private keys. Your crypto is stored on the blockchain, but only your Ledger device can unlock access to it.

There are no usernames, passwords, or accounts to be hacked. With Ledger, your keys never touch the internet.

🔒 PIN Code + Recovery Phrase = Full Control

Each Ledger device is protected by a PIN code, and when you first set it up, you’ll receive a 24-word recovery phrase. This phrase is your ultimate backup—if your device is lost, damaged, or stolen, you can recover your wallet using the phrase.

Important safety tips:

🧠 Secure Software Experience with Ledger Live

Ledger Live, the official companion app, is designed to work securely with your device:

Ledger Live also integrates trusted partners for buying, selling, staking, and swapping—so you can do it all without leaving the secure ecosystem.

🚫 Protection from Online Threats

Phishing sites, malware, and fake apps are common in crypto. But with Ledger:

The best defense is a wallet that never exposes your keys.
