Welcome to your new beginning in crypto security. Ledger offers one of the highest levels of digital asset protection by storing your private keys inside a secure, offline hardware device. With Ledger Live, you can safely manage your crypto portfolio, track balances, perform transactions, and access Web3 — all from one streamlined interface.
This guide provides an easy, step‑by‑step walkthrough to help you set up your Ledger device properly, understand essential safety principles, and start managing your crypto with confidence.
Make sure your Ledger arrives in clean, sealed packaging. Ledger never includes a prewritten recovery sheet. If any recovery words were included in the box, do not use the device.
Always install Ledger Live from the official Ledger website. Avoid third‑party download links, advertisements, or messages that claim to offer setup assistance.
When creating a new wallet, your Ledger will display a 24‑word recovery phrase. Write it down exactly as shown. If you are restoring an existing wallet, manually enter your 24 words using the device buttons.
Each crypto asset you use may require a corresponding app. Use Ledger Live to install only the apps you need, then add accounts to start managing your coins and tokens.
To ensure everything is working correctly, start with a small transaction. This helps confirm that your receiving address is accurate and that your device is functioning as expected.
