Managing crypto with Ledger Stax
Don't worry, you'll be able to access, manage, and retrieve your crypto as long as your Secret Recovery Phrase is safe and accessible only to you. Simply get another Ledger Stax or any other Ledger and recover access to your assets using the Secret Recovery Phrase.
Software wallets store private keys on systems that are connected to the internet, making them susceptible to all kinds of attacks. Holding your crypto on an exchange means entrusting the private keys to a third party and not having any control over your funds. Ledger Stax stores your private keys offline on a Secure Element chip, and provides full isolation between the keys and your computer/smartphone to give you complete control over your assets. You're the only one in control.
Even if someone steals your Ledger Stax, they won't be able to access it without knowing your PIN. Entering the wrong PIN three times in a row will automatically reset your Ledger Stax to its factory settings.
After setting up your Ledger Stax, you'll need to follow the steps outlined in this article to transfer your crypto from an exchange. If you want to send funds from a software wallet to your Ledger Stax, follow this tutorial.

Managing NFTs with Ledger Stax
Simply sync your Ledger Stax with the Ledger Live app and select an NFT from your NFT gallery or any image from your smartphone/computer.
The NFT needs to be accessible through Ledger Live. The NFT image from Ledger Live can be loaded to Ledger Stax and used as the lock screen.
Ledger Stax allows you to secure as many NFTs as you want. Ethereum and Polygon NFTs are supported on the Ledger Live app, while third-party wallets support NFTs on other blockchains. You can only display one NFT as your lock screen.
Technical specs
Ledger Stax's storage capacity is 1.5 MB. You can store up to 100 apps on your device, depending on their size.
Upon shipping, Ledger Stax will be available in English.
Besides Ledger Live, Ledger Stax is compatible with 50+ third-party wallets, allowing you to manage and interact with 5000+ coins and multi-blockchain NFTs.
