“Ledger = peace and tranquility. I'm sure some of us have had that unease of knowing we need a Ledger but haven't gotten organized enough to get one. If I had to start from scratch, I would start with a Ledger.”

“I was a victim of a hack in January and lost thousands of Dollars in NFTs. I felt a lot of anguish and wanted to give up. Until my friend told me he was buying a Ledger. So we bought a two-pack. Since then, I've been able to sleep.”

“I use several Ledgers. Different colors = different uses. Public Wallet. I never touch long-term storage. Day-to-day positions. A backup, in case I need it.”
“I have 3 Ledgers.
Hot wallet: airdrops/minting etc. Main wallet: stores most NFTs. Vault wallet: cold storage for cryptocurrencies.”
“I have 5 Ledgers in total. My personal NFT bag. One for testing. And 1 for each of my 3 daughters.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to the most common questions.
What is a cryptocurrency wallet?
When you create a cryptocurrency wallet, two keys are generated: a public key and a private key. This wallet stores your keys and allows you to sign transactions, generate new addresses, initiate transfers, track your portfolio balance, manage your crypto, and interact with DApps.
There are several types of cryptocurrency wallets: from hardware wallets, like Ledger, to apps you can download on your smartphone or tablet.
What are public and private keys?
When you buy cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, you receive two keys: one public and one private.
The public key can be compared to your bank account number. You can share this number with anyone to receive cryptocurrencies without worrying about your assets being at risk.
The private key, on the other hand, is responsible for signing transactions and allows you to send cryptocurrencies from your balance. Your private keys must always be kept secure and secret. If someone can access them, they will also have access to any associated crypto asset.
What are the different types of crypto wallets?
A cryptocurrency wallet stores your private keys and allows you to access your assets. There are different types, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.
Hot wallets are always connected to the internet and are convenient to use. However, they are also vulnerable to online attacks. Desktop, mobile, and web-based wallets are some examples. Cold wallets keep your private keys offline and away from online threats. Hardware wallets and paper wallets are some examples.
Wallets can also be divided into custodial and non-custodial, depending on who holds the private keys. Storing your crypto in a custodial wallet means a third party controls your private keys and, therefore, your assets. A non-custodial wallet, like Ledger, gives you full control over your crypto.
Why choose a hardware wallet over a hot wallet?
Hot wallets store your private keys on systems that are fully connected to the internet, making them susceptible to online attacks. Keeping your cryptocurrencies on an exchange means you do not have real control or ownership of them. If the exchange declares bankruptcy or pauses withdrawals, you could lose access to your funds.
Hardware wallets store your private keys offline, giving you full control and a more advanced level of security. Even if you forget or lose your hardware wallet, you can get a new one and use your secret recovery phrase to access your assets. 👉 Discover secure storage solutions
