Protecting Your Crypto with Ledger

Ledger wallets are built with a security-first approach. Starting through Ledger.com/start ensures you are guided properly to keep funds safe. Here’s what you must follow:

• Never type your 24-word recovery phrase on any computer or phone.
• Update your device firmware only via Ledger Live.
• Ignore phishing emails pretending to be from Ledger.
• Always confirm addresses directly on your Ledger device screen.
• Store your recovery phrase on paper, metal, or offline mediums—never in cloud storage.

Because Ledger devices keep private keys offline, they provide stronger protection than hot wallets connected to the internet.
