What is a Hardware Wallet, and Why Choose Ledger?

---

🛡️ 1. Why a Hardware Wallet?

 

When you own cryptocurrency, what you truly possess is a private key — your ticket to accessing and managing your coins. Keeping this key secure is essential.

A hardware wallet is the safest way to protect your assets from hackers, malware, and unauthorized access.

🖥️ 2. What is a Hardware Wallet?

 

A hardware wallet keeps your private keys offline at all times.

Even if your device is connected to a compromised computer, your keys (and your crypto) remain completely safe.

Ledger’s hardware wallets create a strong, isolated environment to sign transactions without exposing your keys to online threats.

🏰 3. How Does Ledger Keep Your Crypto Safer?

 

Crypto “ownership” is all about controlling access, not about where the coins physically are.

With Ledger, only you have control over your private keys.

Not even Ledger has access to your funds — maximum independence, maximum security.

 🏆 4. Industry-Leading Security Standards

Ledger’s Nano devices are the only hardware wallets that:

• Combine independent, third-party certification (by ANSSI, France’s cybersecurity agency)

• Feature a proprietary operating system called BOLOS for optimal defense against attacks.

No other wallet on the market combines these two security measures.
