Welcome to Ledger.com/start — your first step toward secure, reliable, and user-friendly cryptocurrency storage. Whether you’re new to digital assets or a seasoned investor, Ledger provides the tools and security you need to protect your crypto and NFTs with confidence.

What is Ledger?

Ledger is a world-leading provider of hardware wallets — secure devices that keep your private keys offline and safe from online threats. Unlike software wallets or exchanges, Ledger’s hardware wallets protect your crypto by storing your keys in a secure element chip, isolated from hackers and malware.

With Ledger, you take full control of your digital wealth.

Key benefits of Ledger:

  • 🔐 Military-grade security
  • 🧠 Offline storage of private keys
  • 🌐 Support for 5,500+ cryptocurrencies
  • 💼 Easy portfolio management
