Problem
Cryptocurrency users often store private keys in software or online wallets that are vulnerable to phishing, hacks, and identity theft, putting their digital assets at risk.
Solution
Ledger provides hardware crypto wallets and signer devices that keep private keys offline, ensuring that transaction signing and asset management occur in a secure, isolated environment. The devices support a wide range of assets—including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and stablecoins—and integrate with Ledger’s software platform for buying, swapping, staking, and interacting with decentralized applications. Real‑time market data and portfolio tracking are displayed on the companion app, allowing users to make informed decisions without exposing their keys. By requiring physical confirmation on the device for each transaction, Ledger prevents remote attackers from executing unauthorized transfers.
Target Audience
Primary customers are individual crypto investors and traders who require secure, non‑custodial storage for multiple digital assets, as well as DeFi participants needing safe access to dApps.
