Visit the Help CenterWhat does my Ledger actually do?+
Your Ledger keeps your private keys offline in a secure chip. You approve transactions on the device, so your keys never leave it.
What is a recovery phrase?+
It’s a unique sequence of 24 words that backs up your wallet. Anyone who has it can access your crypto, so keep it private and offline.
Does Ledger ever ask for my 24 words?+
No. Ledger will never ask you to share your recovery phrase—by email, message, phone, or website. Anyone who does is a scammer.
Can I use Ledger if I’m new to crypto?+
Absolutely. Ledger Live and your device walk you through the essentials, and Ledger Academy has clear guides for each step.
