Download the Ledger Wallet™ app

A cryptocurrency wallet is a digital tool that allows you to securely store, send, and receive digital assets. Unlike traditional bank accounts, crypto wallets give you direct control over your funds through cryptographic keys. Your wallet contains two essential components: a public key (your wallet address) that you share to receive funds, and a private key (your secret password) that you must never share with anyone.

The Ledger Wallet application represents the next generation of cryptocurrency management. It bridges the gap between security and usability, offering institutional-grade protection while maintaining an intuitive interface suitable for both beginners and advanced users. Our wallet supports over 5,000 different cryptocurrencies and tokens, making it the most comprehensive solution available.

Security Architecture

At the core of Ledger's security philosophy is the Secure Element – a certified hardware chip that has passed military-grade security tests. Your private keys are generated and stored exclusively within this secure element, never exposed to your computer's main processor or internet connection. This hardware-based approach is fundamentally different from software wallets, where private keys exist in digital form vulnerable to hacking.

When you confirm a transaction on your Ledger device, the actual cryptographic signing happens inside the secure element. Your computer displays what you're signing, but cannot modify it or steal your keys. This means even if your computer is compromised by malware, your funds remain safe because the malware cannot access your private keys.

Multi-Platform Synchronization

Our wallet application works seamlessly across Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. Your accounts remain synchronized across all platforms while your private keys stay secure on your hardware wallet. This flexibility allows you to check your portfolio from any device without compromising security.

Advanced Features for Modern Traders

Beyond basic wallet functionality, Ledger provides real-time market data, portfolio tracking, transaction history, and support for staking and DeFi interactions. You can monitor your holdings' performance, set price alerts, and participate in yield-generating opportunities – all while maintaining full control of your private keys.

Getting Started is Easy

The Ledger setup process takes just minutes. After downloading the wallet application and connecting your hardware device, you'll receive a recovery phrase – a set of 24 words that represent your master private key. Write these words on the provided card and store them safely. This recovery phrase allows you to restore your wallet on any Ledger device if yours is lost or damaged.
