Frequently asked

Is this financial advice?

No. We provide comparisons and education, not recommendations. Cryptocurrency is volatile and high-risk, and you are responsible for your own decisions.

How do you make money?

We earn a commission when you buy a Ledger device through our links, at no extra cost to you. It never changes our ratings or which device we recommend.

How often are prices and ratings updated?

We re-check Ledger prices, specifications and firmware changes at least every quarter, and sooner when Ledger announces something new.

Do I need a hardware wallet to start?

Not to buy a small amount. Once your holdings matter to you, moving them into self-custody removes exchange failure from the list of things that can cost you money.

Cryptocurrency is a volatile, high-risk asset. You may lose your entire investment. Nothing here is financial advice.
