A crypto wallet is a digital tool that allows users to store, manage, and interact with various crypto assets such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and more. It plays a central role in the crypto ecosystem, helping users securely control their digital assets and perform transactions.

There are many types of crypto wallets, each with different strengths in security, convenience, and functionality.

The most secure are hardware wallets – physical devices that greatly enhance security by storing private keys offline within the device's chip.

A Web3 wallet can be thought of as a digital keychain for the new generation internet (Web3), and an all-access pass to the decentralized world. Instead of relying on traditional intermediaries like banks to manage your online funds, it puts full control in your hands.

Besides holding crypto assets, Web3 wallets allow you to interact with various decentralized applications. Want to trade unique digital items or play games without an intermediary? Your Web3 wallet is the perfect tool.

Web3 wallets are designed to be user‑friendly, allowing you to easily log into and browse dApps while keeping your private keys safe. It’s like your digital super‑cloak, empowering you and giving you security in the vast Web3 world.

A non-custodial wallet (also known as a self‑custody wallet, “self‑custody” in crypto terms) gives you full control over your public and private keys.

Key point: a non-custodial wallet does not entrust your keys to a third party. You, the wallet owner, are solely responsible for protecting your private keys and the wallet.

Non-custodial wallets connect directly to your blockchain address without any intermediary, thus eliminating the possibility of asset seizure.

You are in complete control, which means censorship resistance and no transaction limits. In other words, a non-custodial wallet is your direct ticket to financial freedom.

A “coin” is any cryptocurrency that has its own independent blockchain, such as Bitcoin. In short, if a cryptocurrency runs on its own blockchain, it is called a “coin”. This native currency is used to pay transaction fees, participate in the network, and is also the reward for network participants who help secure it.

Ledger Wallet™ (formerly Ledger Live™) supports Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Ripple (XRP), Litecoin (LTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Polkadot (DOT), Chainlink (LINK), Cardano (ADA), Stellar (XLM), Solana (SOL), Tezos (XTZ), and many others, as well as a wide range of ERC-20 tokens and other popular crypto assets.

The Ledger Wallet™ platform is regularly updated to support new coins and tokens. For the latest information, please check the official Ledger website or the app itself.
