To begin your Ledger hardware wallet setup, visit Ledger.com/Start. Download and install the official Ledger Live application — the only verified software for managing your crypto assets safely.
Once downloaded, open Ledger Live and select “Initialize as new device.” Follow the on-screen instructions to create your PIN and securely write down your 24-word recovery phrase. This recovery phrase is the only way to restore access to your funds if your device is lost or reset — never share it or store it online.
Ledger Live allows you to manage multiple cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and hundreds more. You can track portfolio performance, swap tokens, and connect to DeFi apps — all while maintaining hardware-level security.
Ensure your computer or mobile device is free from malware before connecting your Ledger hardware wallet. Always use the official USB cable provided in the box for safe pairing.
Ledger wallets are designed for maximum security, but users should stay alert:
Ledger Nano X and Ledger Nano S Plus are the latest hardware wallets that work seamlessly with Ledger Live Desktop and Mobile. The Bluetooth feature on the Nano X provides flexibility for mobile users without compromising security.
The Ledger.com/Start page is your one-stop destination for setting up, restoring, and maintaining your Ledger devices. Whether you’re new to crypto or an experienced investor, Ledger ensures that your digital assets remain under your full control — offline and protected.
