Testimonials
“Ledger = peace of mind. I'm sure some of us know that unsettling feeling when you know you need a
Ledger but haven't quite organized yourself to get it sorted. If I did it all again, I'd start with
having a Ledger.”

"I got hacked in January and lost 1000s worth of NFTs. I felt disgusted, lost, and willing to quit.
Until my friend told me he's ordering a Ledger. So, we bought the duo deal. Since then, I've been
sleeping."

“I use multiple Ledgers. Different colours = different uses.Public Wallet. Never touch long term
storage. Day to day fund holdings. A back up just in case.”

"My Ledger is already called "Stew". As it is the steward who looks after my crypto & NFTs, so
I can sleep at night."

"Ledger makes cold storage downright easy. My NFTs land infinitely safer and I don’t have to feel
as paranoid about connecting to new smart contracts."

FAQ
Find answers to some of the most common questions.
Thinking about buying crypto or NFTs? You’ll need a crypto
wallet.
When you create a wallet, two keys are generated: a private one and a public one. The wallet
stores your keys and enables you to sign transactions, generate new addresses, initiate
transfers, track portfolio balances, manage your crypto, and interact with dApps.
Crypto wallets come in many forms, from hardware wallets, like Ledger’s, to mobile apps that
you can download on your phone or tablet.
The public key can be compared to a bank account number that you can share with third parties
to receive crypto without worrying that your assets will be compromised.
The private key signs transactions and allows you to send and receive crypto. It’s crucial to
keep your private keys secure and secret. If anyone has access to them, they will also have
access to any crypto assets associated with those keys.
A crypto wallet stores your private keys and gives you access to your assets.
There are different types of crypto wallets, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. Hot wallets are connected to
the internet and usually convenient to use, however, they are also vulnerable to online
attacks. Examples include web-based, mobile, and desktop wallets. Cold wallets keep your
private keys offline and out of reach of online threats. Examples include paper and hardware
wallets.
Wallets can also be categorized as custodial or non-custodial, depending on who holds the
private keys. Storing your crypto in a custodial wallet means that a third party controls your
private keys and, therefore, your assets. In contrast, non-custodial wallets, like Ledger’s,
enable you to fully own and control your crypto.
Hot wallets store private keys on systems connected to the internet, which makes them
susceptible to online attacks. Keeping your crypto on an exchange also means you have no true
ownership or control over it. If the exchange files for bankruptcy or pauses withdrawals, you
lose access to your funds.
Hardware wallets store your private keys offline, giving you full control and enhanced
security. Even if you misplace or lose your hardware wallet, you can get a new one and use
your Secret Recovery Phrase to access your assets.
Ready to get started? Here are the steps for getting your crypto wallet:
Get a Ledger hardware wallet. It stores your
private keys in a secure, offline environment giving you peace of mind and complete control
