Ledger was founded in Paris in 2014 by a team of security experts who saw the need for a dedicated device to protect cryptocurrency keys.
The original Ledger Nano established the company's reputation for secure-element-based hardware, a design choice it still uses today.
As crypto boomed, Ledger grew into the largest hardware wallet maker, selling millions of devices and expanding into software with Ledger Live.
Ledger moved beyond hardware into services like buying, swapping and staking, building a full ecosystem around its devices.
Today Ledger is a leader in self-custody, known for a strong security track record and a large, active user base.
Ledger's story is one of steady focus on security and usability, which is why it became the default choice for many holders.
