Secure your crypto assets with the most trusted hardware wallets. Begin your journey to ultimate protection today.
Start Setup NowWhen you receive your Ledger device, ensure the package is intact and has not been tampered with. Your box should contain the hardware wallet, USB cable, recovery sheet, and keychain strap. Always purchase directly from Ledger.com to avoid compromised devices.
Download Ledger Live, our official desktop and mobile application, from Ledger.com. This application will guide you through the setup process, help you manage your crypto assets, and keep your device firmware up to date with the latest security enhancements.
Connect your Ledger device to your computer and follow the on-screen instructions in Ledger Live. You'll be prompted to set a PIN code - this is your first line of defense. Choose a strong PIN and never share it with anyone. The device will then generate your unique recovery phrase.
Your 24-word recovery phrase is the master key to your cryptocurrency holdings. Write it down on the provided recovery sheet and store it in a secure location—never digitally. This phrase can restore your assets if your device is lost or damaged. Anyone with access to these words can access your funds.
Through Ledger Live, you can install apps for various cryptocurrencies and create accounts for each. Your device will manage the private keys for all these accounts, keeping them secure in the certified secure element chip. You can manage Bitcoin, Ethereum, and over 1,800 other coins and tokens.
With your Ledger device set up, you can now safely receive, send, and manage your cryptocurrencies. Every transaction must be physically confirmed on your device, ensuring that even if your computer is compromised, your assets remain protected. Welcome to peace of mind in crypto security.
