Ledger wallets are cutting-edge hardware devices designed to keep your cryptocurrency assets safe by storing your private keys offline. They provide robust protection against hacks, malware, and online threats while giving you full control over your digital wealth.
Ledger offers four main hardware wallets suited to different user needs and lifestyles:
Ledger wallets run a proprietary operating system called Blockchain Open Ledger Operating System (BOLOS), which isolates cryptocurrency apps and securely manages private keys stored in a tamper-resistant Secure Element chip (EAL6+ certified). This architecture prevents private key extraction, even if the connected computer is compromised.
User authorization is required on the device’s built-in screen for every transaction, acting effectively like a hardware-based two-factor authentication to protect your funds.
Ledger wallets support managing over 5,500 cryptocurrencies through apps installed on the device. Ledger Live software acts as the interface to install these apps, monitor portfolio balances, send and receive assets, and interact with decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms securely.
Additionally, Ledger wallets can pair with popular software wallets like MetaMask or Coinbase Wallet, offering layered security and seamless integration with popular decentralized applications (dApps).
With over a decade of expertise, Ledger stands out for combining technical innovation, user-friendly design, and strict security protocols. Its hardware wallets are internationally accredited and continue to evolve with the crypto ecosystem’s needs.
Ledger wallets are trusted by millions worldwide, providing peace of mind in managing assets ranging from mainstream coins to NFTs and DeFi tokens.
