Ledger® hardware wallets provide superior security by keeping your private keys isolated in a secure chip, completely separated from your internet-connected devices. This approach offers protection against online threats that software wallets cannot provide.
Your transactions are signed within the device itself, meaning your private keys never leave the hardware wallet. This ensures that even if your computer is compromised, your assets remain secure.
