Important Tips During Setup

Security Features of Ledger Hardware Wallets

Security is the cornerstone of Ledger’s technology. Here’s how Ledger ensures your crypto assets remain safe:

Secure Element Chip

Ledger devices use a certified Secure Element (SE) chip, the same technology used in passports and credit cards, to store your private keys securely and protect against physical and software attacks.

PIN Code Protection

Access to your Ledger device is protected by a PIN code. After three incorrect attempts, the device wipes itself to prevent unauthorized access.

Recovery Phrase Backup

Your 24-word recovery phrase is the ultimate backup of your wallet. It allows you to restore your funds if your device is lost or damaged. Ledger never stores this phrase, so it’s your responsibility to keep it safe.

Firmware Updates

Ledger regularly releases firmware updates to patch vulnerabilities and add new features. Keeping your device updated is essential for maintaining security.
