Why Choose Ledger for Crypto Security?

Cryptocurrencies are valuable, but they're targets for hackers. Software wallets are prone to viruses and phishing, while hardware wallets keep private keys offline. Ledger's Secure Element chip, used in banking, ensures top-tier protection. The /Start® page explains this, highlighting how Ledger prevents unauthorized access.

Ledger Support® emphasizes education. Users learn about cold storage versus hot wallets, and why hardware is ideal for long-term holding. With millions of devices sold, Ledger has a track record of reliability.
