About Ledger® Hardware Wallets

A Ledger hardware wallet is a physical security device designed to protect your private keys offline. By keeping your sensitive information disconnected from the internet, Ledger prevents unauthorized access, phishing attacks, and malware threats. Each device is built around a secure element chip (CC EAL5+ certified) and operates with BOLOS, Ledger’s proprietary operating system.

Popular models include the Ledger Nano X, Ledger Nano S Plus, and the revolutionary Ledger Stax. All Ledger devices integrate with the Ledger Live application, making it simple to buy, store, swap, and stake cryptocurrencies in one safe location.

Getting Started — Step-by-Step Guide
