Why Ledger Stands Apart
Ledger revolutionized cryptocurrency storage with its innovative Secure Element chip technology, the same security standard used in passports and credit cards. Unlike software wallets or exchange accounts, Ledger devices keep your private keys isolated in a certified secure chip, completely disconnected from internet vulnerabilities.
Understanding Our Security Architecture
Ledger's unique security model combines a Secure Element chip with a proprietary operating system called BOLOS. This dual-layer protection ensures that even if your computer is compromised, your private keys remain safe within the device. Each transaction must be physically confirmed on your Ledger device, providing an additional layer of verification.

Our ongoing firmware updates ensure your device remains at the forefront of security technology, protecting against emerging threats in the rapidly evolving crypto landscape.
