Why choose Ledger — Features & benefits

Secure Ledger devices focus on isolating private keys inside a certified secure element, keeping your recovery phrase and signing operations offline. Physical device confirmation and PIN protection make it harder for remote attackers or phishing to steal funds.

Interoperable management: Ledger works with Ledger Live and many third-party wallets, enabling you to manage multiple blockchains (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and hundreds more) from a single hardware key. Regular firmware updates and app isolation on the device keep software attack surface minimal.

Simple onboarding: The Lédger.cóm/Start flow walks you step-by-step through unboxing, firmware verification, PIN setup, and secure seed backup. Guided checks and device authenticity verifications reduce user error and ensure you’re running genuine firmware before transacting.

Backup & recovery: A robust seed phrase backup model allows you to recover funds even if your device is lost or damaged — provided the recovery phrase is stored safely. Ledger encourages best-practices: offline-written seed phrases, split storage, and never sharing words online.

Privacy & ownership: By controlling private keys on a hardware device you retain true ownership of assets. Transactions are signed locally, which limits exposure of sensitive key material and increases long-term confidence for hodlers, builders, and institutions alike.

Support & updates: Regular security audits, official support channels, and a broad ecosystem of integrations make Ledger a reliable long-term choice for self-custody. Whether you’re a beginner or power user, the Lédgér.cóm/Start resources and downloads help you get started safely and efficiently.
