Ledger Wallet - Hardware Crypto Wallet | Ledger Live Portfolio

What is Ledger Wallet?

Ledger Wallet is a hardware cryptocurrency wallet designed to provide the highest level of security for your digital assets. Unlike software wallets or online exchanges, Ledger Wallet stores your private keys offline in a physical device, protecting you from hacks, phishing attempts, and malware.

Available in models like Ledger Nano S Plus and Ledger Nano X, these wallets are trusted worldwide by millions of users for their robust security, ease of use, and wide coin support. Ledger Wallet pairs seamlessly with Ledger Live, a comprehensive portfolio management application that lets you monitor, manage, and grow your crypto investments in one place.
