Security Features

Ledger devices incorporate multiple layers of security to protect your cryptocurrency investments:

🔒

Secure Element Chip

Your private keys are generated and stored in a certified secure element, the same technology used in passports and credit cards.

📱

Ledger Live Application

Manage your portfolio, send and receive crypto, and install apps through the intuitive Ledger Live desktop and mobile applications.

🛡️

PIN Code Protection

Your device is protected by a PIN code that you create during setup, preventing unauthorized access even if your device is lost or stolen.

Ledger's security architecture ensures that your private keys never leave the device, providing protection against malware and hackers that target software wallets and exchanges.

Setup Process Overview

The Ledger.com/start process guides you through several important stages to ensure your wallet is properly configured:

🔑

Initial Configuration

💾

Recovery Phrase Backup

Safely record your recovery phrase on the provided card and store it in a secure location away from digital devices.
