Complete Setup Guide

Setting up your Ledger hardware wallet is a straightforward process designed to maximize security while maintaining ease of use. Your Ledger device uses a secure element chip, the same technology used in passports and credit cards, to protect your private keys.

Device Selection

Choose from our range of certified hardware wallets. The Ledger Nano S Plus offers essential security features at an accessible price point. The Ledger Nano X provides Bluetooth connectivity for mobile use and supports more applications. The Ledger Stax features a curved E Ink screen and wireless charging for the ultimate user experience.

Ledger Live Installation

Download Ledger Live, our companion application, from the official Ledger website only. This software manages your crypto portfolio, installs apps on your device, and facilitates secure transactions. Available for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android platforms.

Security Best Practices

Your 24-word recovery phrase is the master key to your crypto assets. Write it down on the provided recovery sheets, verify each word carefully, and store multiple copies in secure, separate locations. Never share this phrase digitally or with anyone. Ledger will never ask for your recovery phrase.

Getting Started

Once your device is initialized, install cryptocurrency apps through Ledger Live based on your portfolio needs. Each app allows you to securely receive, send, and manage specific cryptocurrencies. Your private keys remain safely stored on the device, never exposed to your computer or the internet.
