Hardware wallets are physical devices that allow you to securely store your cryptocurrency offline. You can then connect the device to your computer/internet and use a pin code to access and exchange your funds.

Right now, twenty five cryptocurrencies are currently listed as having full support on the Ledger Nano S.

You can also use the Ledger wallet to store ERC20 tokens. Here’s a guide on how to transfer ERC20 tokens to a Ledger Nano S and send ERC20 tokens from a Ledger Nano S.
