Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about getting started with Ledger

A hardware wallet is a physical device that stores your cryptocurrency private keys offline. Unlike software wallets, your keys never leave the device, making it immune to online hacking attempts. Ledger hardware wallets use a secure chip to protect your assets even if your computer is compromised.

Setting up your Ledger device typically takes 15-20 minutes. This includes unboxing, installing Ledger Live, initializing your device, creating a PIN, and backing up your 24-word recovery phrase. The process is straightforward with step-by-step guidance in the Ledger Live app.

If you lose your Ledger device, your crypto is still safe. During setup, you receive a 24-word recovery phrase that you should write down and store securely. You can use this phrase to restore all your accounts on a new Ledger device. Never share your recovery phrase with anyone.

Ledger supports over 5,500 different cryptocurrencies and tokens, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Litecoin, and thousands of ERC-20 tokens. New assets are regularly added. You can check the complete list of supported assets on the Ledger website.

No, you only need to connect your Ledger device when you want to send crypto or manage your accounts. Your assets remain secure even when the device is disconnected. The Ledger Nano X also supports Bluetooth for mobile use, while the Nano S Plus uses USB-C.

Yes, Ledger Live is completely free to download and use. There are no subscription fees or hidden costs. You only pay network transaction fees when sending crypto, which are standard blockchain fees, not Ledger fees. The app works on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.
