Protect your assets by following these best practices:
A hardware wallet is a physical device that stores your private keys offline, protecting them from online attacks. Unlike software wallets, hardware wallets minimize risks from hacks, malware, and phishing. Ledger combines usability with enterprise-grade security, making it ideal for beginners and professionals alike.
When you store crypto on an exchange, you do not truly own it — the platform controls your funds. Self-custody means holding your private keys yourself, giving you full control. Ledger empowers users to move away from custodial risk and toward true financial independence.
Avoiding these mistakes can prevent irreversible loss of funds.
Ledger devices allow secure interaction with NFT platforms, DeFi protocols, and decentralized applications. Every transaction is confirmed directly on your device, ensuring your assets remain safe while exploring Web3.
