Frequently Asked Questions

What is a hardware wallet? +

A hardware wallet is a physical device that securely stores your private keys offline. Unlike software wallets, hardware wallets keep your keys isolated from internet-connected devices, providing the highest level of security against hackers and malware.

Which Ledger device is right for me? +

Ledger offers two main devices: Ledger Nano S Plus (entry-level, perfect for beginners) and Ledger Nano X (advanced, with Bluetooth connectivity and more storage). Both offer the same security features and support the same cryptocurrencies.

Can I recover my funds if I lose my device? +

Yes! As long as you have your 24-word recovery phrase, you can restore access to all your cryptocurrencies on a new Ledger device or compatible software wallet. Never share your recovery phrase with anyone.

How often should I update my Ledger device? +

We recommend updating your Ledger device firmware whenever a new version is available. Updates include security enhancements, new features, and support for additional cryptocurrencies. Always verify updates through Ledger Live.
