Step-by-Step Setup

1️⃣ Unbox and Inspect: Begin by opening your Ledger package and verifying its authenticity. Ensure holographic seals are intact and the device is free from tampering.

2️⃣ Connect to Ledger Live: Plug your Ledger device into your computer or mobile device and visit https://ledger.com/start. Follow the official instructions to begin initialization.

3️⃣ Set Your PIN: Create a secure PIN directly on your Ledger. This PIN protects your device and prevents unauthorized access. Avoid simple patterns and keep it confidential.

4️⃣ Write Recovery Seed: Your device will generate a 24-word recovery phrase. Carefully write it on the recovery card and store it offline. This phrase is the only backup for your wallet and should never be stored digitally.

5️⃣ Confirm and Explore: Verify the recovery seed on your device and install Ledger Live to manage assets. Always approve transactions on the hardware wallet itself to ensure authenticity.

Security Best Practices

Ledger hardware wallets provide unparalleled security, but users must maintain proper habits. Never share your recovery seed or PIN. Avoid storing them online or digitally. Keep the device firmware updated to protect against vulnerabilities.

Optional passphrase protection provides an extra layer of security. Cold storage is recommended for long-term holdings, and always verify the URL when accessing Ledger Live or support resources. Following these best practices ensures your assets remain safe and accessible only to you.

Ledger combines state-of-the-art hardware, intuitive software, and global support to deliver a secure, reliable, and user-friendly cryptocurrency experience. With Ledger, managing digital assets becomes a confident, hassle-free process.
