Recover your assets safely

Thinking about buying crypto or NFTs? You'll need a crypto wallet. When you create a wallet, two keys are generated: a private one and a public one. The wallet stores your keys and enables you to sign transactions, generate new addresses, initiate transfers, track portfolio balances, manage your crypto, and interact with dApps.

Wallets don’t hold assets; they protect your private keys. Your assets live on the blockchain, and your wallet lets you securely authorize transactions with those keys. With Ledger, keys stay offline in a Secure Element.

Hardware wallets keep your private keys offline, away from malware and phishing. Ledger signers combine Secure Element chips, PIN protection, and a trusted screen so you verify what you sign.

Choose a Ledger signer, set it up to generate your Secret Recovery Phrase, and connect with Ledger Wallet to buy, swap, stake, and manage assets in one place.

An NFC-enabled smart card that stores a PIN-protected, Secure Element–encrypted backup of your Secret Recovery Phrase — completely offline and controlled by you. Restore access in minutes with a tap on compatible Ledger touchscreen signers.
