Security Best Practices for Ledger Users

⚠️ Important: Your recovery phrase is the master key to your wallet. Never share it online or with anyone. Ledger will never ask for it.

Why Choose a Ledger Hardware Wallet?

Unlike online or software wallets, Ledger hardware wallets provide cold storage, meaning your private keys never leave the device. With industry-leading security chips, Ledger ensures that your crypto remains safe from hacks, malware, and phishing attempts.

Supported assets include Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), Ripple (XRP), Solana (SOL), and thousands more via Ledger Live integrations.
