Welcome to Ledger.com/Start - your official guide to setting up the world's most secure hardware wallet for cryptocurrency protection.
Welcome to the official Ledger setup guide. Your journey to ultimate cryptocurrency security begins here. Ledger hardware wallets provide military-grade security for your digital assets, keeping your private keys safe from online threats.
This guide will walk you through the simple process of setting up your Ledger device. Whether you have a Ledger Nano S, Nano X, or the new Ledger Stax, our step-by-step instructions will have you securely managing your crypto in no time.
Before you begin, ensure you have your Ledger device, the included USB cable, a computer or smartphone with internet access, and about 10 minutes of uninterrupted time. It's crucial to set up your device in a secure environment where you won't be disturbed.
Remember: Your recovery phrase is the key to your cryptocurrency. Never share it with anyone, never store it digitally, and always keep it safe from physical damage. Ledger will never ask for your recovery phrase.
Carefully unbox your Ledger device and ensure all components are present. You should find the hardware wallet, USB cable, recovery sheet, and keychain strap.
Download and install Ledger Live, our desktop application that allows you to manage your crypto assets and perform transactions with your Ledger device.
Connect your Ledger device to your computer and follow the on-screen instructions to set up your PIN code and generate your recovery phrase.
Write down your 24-word recovery phrase on the provided recovery sheet and store it in a secure location. Never share this phrase with anyone.
Use Ledger Live to install applications for the cryptocurrencies you want to manage. Each crypto asset has its own application on your Ledger device.
You're all set! Now you can receive, send, and manage your cryptocurrency assets with the highest level of security provided by your Ledger device.
