🔐 What is a Ledger Wallet?

A Ledger hardware wallet is a specialized device designed to securely store your cryptocurrency private keys offline. Unlike software wallets, Ledger keeps your keys isolated from internet-connected devices, providing superior protection against hackers and malware.

Ledger wallets support over 1,800 cryptocurrencies and tokens, allowing you to manage all your digital assets in one secure place while maintaining full control of your private keys.

📦 What's in Your Ledger Box?

When you unbox your Ledger device, you'll find:

  • Ledger hardware wallet (Nano S, Nano S Plus, or Nano X)
  • USB cable for connectivity
  • Recovery sheet for your 24-word phrase
  • Keychain strap for Nano X
  • Getting started guide and documentation

Always verify that the packaging seal is intact to ensure your device hasn't been tampered with.

🛡️ Security First Approach

Ledger employs multiple layers of security to protect your assets:

  • Secure Element chip (same technology used in passports and credit cards)
  • Custom operating system (BOLOS) that isolates applications
  • PIN code protection with device wipe after incorrect attempts
  • 24-word recovery phrase for backup and restoration
  • On-screen verification for all transactions

Your private keys never leave the device, ensuring maximum security.

🔍 Before You Begin

Prepare for your Ledger setup by ensuring you have:

  • A computer with internet connection (Windows, Mac, or Linux)
  • Your Ledger device and USB cable
  • A safe place to store your recovery phrase (fireproof and waterproof)
  • Ledger Live application downloaded from the official website
  • At least 30 minutes of uninterrupted time for setup

Never share your 24-word recovery phrase with anyone, and avoid digital storage of this phrase.
