How to Set Up Your Ledger Device

Step 1: Unbox & Connect

Connect your Ledger device to your computer using the provided cable. Follow on-screen instructions to start the initialization process.

Step 2: Create a Wallet

Choose to create a new wallet. Write down the 24-word recovery phrase securely and store it offline — it’s your only backup.

Step 3: Set a PIN

Protect access to your device by setting a PIN code. Always confirm entries directly on the device screen.

Step 4: Install Ledger Live

Download and install Ledger Live from ledger.com/start. Pair your device and begin adding accounts to manage your crypto.

Ledger Live App

Ledger Live is your all-in-one app for managing assets. Track balances, send and receive securely, stake coins, and explore integrated services. Available on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android, Ledger Live works seamlessly with your device for complete control.

Portfolio Management

See all your assets in one place. View market prices, performance charts, and transaction history.

Buy, Sell & Swap

Purchase crypto directly, swap tokens, or cash out through trusted partners — all from Ledger Live.

Security at the Core

Ledger devices use Secure Element chips, the same technology trusted by passports and payment systems. Private keys stay offline, and every transaction must be approved physically on your device, preventing remote hacks and malware attacks.

Recovery Phrase

Your 24-word recovery phrase restores access to your wallet if your device is lost or replaced. Keep it offline and never share it.

Genuine Check

Each Ledger device can verify its authenticity during setup. Always purchase from ledger.com or authorized sellers.
