Why Choose Ledger?

Security is the cornerstone of cryptocurrency ownership. Unlike online wallets or exchanges, Ledger hardware wallets keep your private keys offline inside a tamper-proof device, eliminating the risk of hacks, phishing, or malware attacks.

Millions of users trust Ledger because it combines cutting-edge security with an intuitive interface, helping you store and manage thousands of cryptocurrencies securely.

Step 1: Receive and Verify Your Ledger Device

When your Ledger hardware wallet arrives, take these first steps:

Check the package’s tamper-evident seal
Confirm the device’s authenticity by following the verification process available at Ledger.com/start
Inspect the contents, which include your Ledger device, USB cable, recovery card, and user manual

Starting with a verified, genuine device ensures the highest level of security for your crypto assets.

Step 2: Download Ledger Live

Ledger Live is the official software companion to your Ledger device. It enables you to:

Set up and manage your Ledger hardware wallet
Install cryptocurrency apps
Send, receive, and track your crypto holdings

Step 3: Initialize Your Wallet

Once Ledger Live is installed:

Connect your Ledger device via USB or Bluetooth (Ledger Nano X)
Set up a PIN code to protect your wallet from unauthorized access
Write down your unique 24-word recovery phrase carefully on the recovery sheet included in the box

Your recovery phrase is critical — it’s your master key to restoring your wallet if your device is lost, stolen, or damaged. At Ledger.com/start, we provide essential tips for storing it securely offline.

Keep your device’s apps updated with the latest security patches and features

Our step-by-step instructions at Ledger.com/start simplify the app management process for you.

To receive crypto:

Generate a receiving address in Ledger Live
Verify the address on your device’s screen before sharing to prevent address tampering

To send crypto:

Confirm transaction details on Ledger Live
Physically approve the transaction on your Ledger device

This double verification process ensures your funds remain safe from fraud and malware.
