Whether you are new to cryptocurrency or an advanced investor, this page provides all the steps you need to begin safely. Ledger devices are designed to protect your digital assets with industry-leading security, and our onboarding process makes it easy to get started.
Open your Ledger package carefully and confirm that the box is sealed and untampered. A genuine Ledger device ensures your crypto is safe from the very beginning. If the packaging looks suspicious, contact Ledger Support immediately. Security starts with trust in your hardware.
Use the supplied cable to connect your Ledger Nano device to your computer or mobile. Once connected, visit the official Ledger.com/start page to download and install Ledger Live, the trusted software for managing your hardware wallet.
Ledger Live is your secure companion for setting up, configuring, and managing your Ledger wallet. Download it only from the official site. With Ledger Live, you can install crypto apps, check balances, send and receive assets, and access advanced features with confidence.
Set up a new wallet on your Ledger device or restore an existing one using your recovery phrase. Follow the on-screen instructions to set a secure PIN and confirm your recovery seed. Your Ledger never exposes private keys, keeping them safe within the device.
Your 24-word recovery phrase is the key to restoring your wallet. Write it down on the provided recovery sheet and store it in a secure, offline location. Never share it or enter it into any website. This phrase ensures full recovery of your funds if your device is lost or stolen.
Using Ledger Live, install the apps for the cryptocurrencies you plan to manage. Once installed, create accounts for Bitcoin, Ethereum, or any supported blockchain. This allows you to monitor balances, send, and receive securely with Ledger protection.
Ledger devices integrate with decentralized finance (DeFi), NFT platforms, and other Web3 apps. By connecting your Ledger through Ledger Live or partner integrations, you can transact while keeping your private keys offline and secure. Explore Web3 with peace of mind.
