Real experiences from the Ledger community around the world.
I have three hardware wallets and Ledger Live is by far the cleanest dashboard. In 5 minutes I had connected 9 accounts.
ETH staking brought me 4.2% APR this year, without ever leaving my keys on an exchange. Transparent on everything.
I was scared of hardware wallets at first. Now 18,000 euros are in cold storage and I sleep soundly. The app is simply good.
