Frequently Asked Questions

What is a hardware wallet?

A hardware wallet is a physical device that securely stores the private keys to your cryptocurrency assets. Unlike software wallets, hardware wallets keep your keys offline, providing protection against online threats like hackers and malware.

How do I restore my wallet if I lose my device?

You can restore your wallet on a new Ledger device using your 24-word recovery phrase. This phrase is the master key to all your accounts, so it's crucial to keep it safe and never share it with anyone.

Which cryptocurrencies does Ledger support?

Ledger devices support over 1,800 cryptocurrencies and tokens, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and many ERC-20 tokens. You can manage all supported assets through the Ledger Live application.

Is my recovery phrase stored on the device?

No, your recovery phrase is generated during setup and displayed only once. It is never stored digitally on the device or anywhere else. You must write it down and keep it in a safe place.
