Before diving into the setup, it’s helpful to understand why Ledger devices are considered so secure. Ledger hardware wallets are built with a certified secure chip designed to isolate private keys from online threats. Unlike software wallets that exist on internet-connected devices, hardware wallets keep your private keys offline, drastically reducing exposure to malware, phishing, and hacking attempts.
Your Ledger wallet ensures:
Offline private key storage
Secure transaction signing
Protection against unauthorized access
Compatibility with thousands of crypto assets
Governance support for many networks
Even if your computer is compromised, the hardware wallet remains protected because sensitive information never leaves the device.
