Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We've got answers

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

Setting up your Ledger device typically takes 15-30 minutes. This includes downloading Ledger Live, connecting your device, creating a PIN, and writing down your 24-word recovery phrase. Take your time to ensure everything is done correctly.

Your recovery phrase is the only way to restore access to your crypto if you lose your device. If you lose both your device and recovery phrase, your crypto will be permanently lost. This is why it's crucial to store your recovery phrase in a safe, offline location.

Yes! The Ledger Nano X and Ledger Stax support Bluetooth connectivity, allowing you to manage your crypto on-the-go with the Ledger Live mobile app available for iOS and Android. The Ledger Nano S Plus requires a USB connection.

While Ledger Live is the official companion app and provides the best experience, your Ledger device also works with many third-party wallet applications. However, we recommend using Ledger Live for setup and regular use.

All Ledger devices support over 5,500 different cryptocurrencies and tokens, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and thousands of ERC-20 tokens. You can install multiple apps on your device to manage different coins.
