How Hardware Wallets Work

Ledger devices keep your private keys isolated in a secure chip, completely separate from your internet-connected devices.

When you want to make a transaction, the device signs it internally without exposing your private keys to your computer or smartphone.

This approach, known as cold storage, provides the highest level of security for your cryptocurrency holdings.
