Why Choose Ledger?
Ledger hardware wallets provide the highest level of security for your cryptocurrency assets. Unlike software wallets that are constantly connected to the internet, Ledger devices keep your private keys secure in an offline environment, protecting you from hackers and unauthorized access.
With support for over 5,500 cryptocurrencies and tokens, Ledger offers unparalleled versatility for crypto enthusiasts. The intuitive Ledger Live app allows you to easily manage your portfolio, buy crypto, exchange assets, and even stake coins to earn rewards—all while maintaining complete control over your private keys.

Once setup is complete, you can install apps for the cryptocurrencies you want to manage through Ledger Live. The application allows you to send, receive, buy, swap, and stake assets while your private keys remain securely stored on your Ledger device. Always remember to physically confirm transactions on your device for added security :cite[3]:cite[5].
