A Ledger hardware wallet is a physical device that securely stores your cryptocurrency private keys offline. When you want to make a transaction, you connect the device to your computer or phone, verify the transaction details on the device's screen, and physically confirm it by pressing buttons. This ensures your private keys never leave the secure device, protecting you from online threats, malware, and hacking attempts.
Setting up your Ledger device is straightforward: 1) Connect your device to your computer using the USB cable, 2) Download and install Ledger Live app from the official website, 3) Follow the on-screen setup wizard to initialize your device, 4) Write down your 24-word recovery phrase on the provided recovery sheet, 5) Confirm your recovery phrase, 6) Create a PIN code, and 7) Install cryptocurrency apps for the coins you want to manage.
Ledger supports over 5,000 cryptocurrencies and tokens, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), Ripple (XRP), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Cardano (ADA), Polkadot (DOT), Chainlink (LINK), and thousands of ERC-20 tokens. The list is continuously growing as new cryptocurrencies are added. You can check the complete list of supported assets on the Ledger website.
If you lose your Ledger device, your cryptocurrencies are not lost. As long as you have your 24-word recovery phrase, you can restore access to your funds on any compatible hardware wallet or supported software wallet. Simply get a new Ledger device (or compatible wallet), choose the 'restore from recovery phrase' option during setup, and enter your 24 words. Your accounts and balances will be fully restored.
