Getting Started with Your Ledger™ Device

Welcome to Ledger® - the most trusted name in cryptocurrency security. Setting up your Ledger™ hardware wallet is quick and easy, and this guide will walk you through the process step by step.

Step 1: Unbox Your Ledger® Device

When you receive your Ledger™ hardware wallet, ensure all security seals are intact. Your package should include the device itself, a USB cable, recovery sheets, and getting started instructions.

Step 2: Download Ledger Live™

Ledger Live™ is our official companion app that lets you manage your crypto assets. Download it from our official website (never from third-party sources) and install it on your computer or smartphone.

Step 3: Initialize Your Device

Connect your Ledger® device via USB and follow the on-screen instructions to set up a PIN code. This PIN protects your device from unauthorized access.

Step 4: Write Down Your Recovery Phrase

Your device will generate a 24-word recovery phrase. Write this down on the provided recovery sheet and store it somewhere safe. This phrase is your backup if your device is lost or damaged.

Step 5: Install Apps and Add Accounts

Use Ledger Live™ to install apps for the cryptocurrencies you want to manage. Then create accounts for each cryptocurrency to start receiving funds.

Remember, your Ledger® device provides the highest level of security for your crypto assets. Always verify transactions on your device screen and never share your recovery phrase with anyone.
