FAQ's About Ledger
What is Ledger?
Ledger has been the global benchmark for digital asset security for 10+ years. With millions of devices sold and zero
hacked, Ledger hardware wallets secure over 20% of the worldʼs crypto. The Ledger LiveTM app, enables users to manage
their crypto in a stress-free environment. From newcomers to professionals, Ledgerʼs comprehensive suite of products and
services empowers all types of users to take control of their financial freedom and navigate the Web3 world with
confidence.
How to keep my secret recovery phrase safe?
Carefully record your Secret Recovery Phrase on the Recovery Sheets included in your hardware wallet box and keep them far
from prying eyes, water, fire, etc. For extra peace of mind, you can quickly and easily create a PIN-protected, Secure Element
encrypted backup using the Ledger Recovery Key included in all new Ledger touchscreen devices. You can also subscribe to the Ledger RecoverTM service which lets you create a digital backup you can use any time, anywhere with just your identity.
What if I lose my Ledger device ?
Crypto assets reside on the blockchain. If you ever lose or damage your Ledger hardware wallet, or simply want to switch to a new one, you can restore access to your crypto with the Secret Recovery Phrase generated when you first set up your Ledger
hardware wallet. Often called a seed phrase, it represents the private keys to all your crypto accounts. Keep it in a safe place,
far from prying eyes, fire, water and unforeseen accidents.
Does Bluetooth affect the security of Ledger StaxTM, Ledger FlexTM or Ledger Nano XTM?
Since your private keys never leave the Secure Element chip, Bluetooth® communication (BLE) does not expose the Ledger StaxTM, Ledger FlexTM or Ledger Nano XTM to additional security threats. The BLE connection is end-to-end encrypted to protect user privacy. In any unlikely case that a BLE transport is compromised, the attacker would fail to extract your private keys, or sign transactions that you have not both verified and authenticated.
What are the main benefits of Ledger wallets?
Powered by the Ledger OSTM, protected by the Secure Element and battle-tested by The Donjon's team of white hat
hackers, Ledger hardware wallets keep your private keys safely offline. No one can access them but you. All transactions
must be verified on the deviceʼs secure display and physically confirmed by you. They pair seamlessly with the Ledger
LiveTM app, where you can monitor the market value of your portfolio, swap, stake and use your crypto with confidence.
Can someone steal my funds if they have access to my Ledger?
Even if someone steals your Ledger, they won't be able to access it without knowing your PIN. Entering the wrong PIN three times in a row will automatically reset your Ledger to its factory settings.
What are the differences between Ledger line-up?
All Ledger devices offer the same level of security and access to your digital assets. Ledger StaxTM features a premium user
experience and ultra elegant design. Ledger FlexTM sets the new standard for intuitive touchscreen wallets with optimal ease
of use. The Ledger Nano XTM is a mobile-first classic hardware wallet designed for basic on-the-go use. The Ledger Nano S
PlusTM is an efficient entry-level hardware wallet with all the essentials for securing all your digital assets at home.
Ledger also protects you with Clear Signing. You can see exactly what you are approving before you sign, giving you complete control and eliminating the risk of hidden or malicious actions.
Choosing Ledger gives you true self-custody with physical security, offline protection, and transparent verification for every action, something no exchange or software wallet can match.
If I want more accounts, I need more Ledgers, right?
No. Each Ledger hardware wallet supports a large range of blockchains and can create a near-infinite amount of accounts on
these networks so you can securely manage a wide array of tokens all at the same time.
