Secure Your Crypto with Ledger Hardware Wallets

Welcome to Ledger Setup

Setting up your Ledger device is the first step toward securing your digital assets. Ledegr.com/start is your official destination for safe setup, wallet installation, and crypto management guidance. Whether you're a first-time user or migrating from another wallet, this guide will walk you through every essential step.

Unbox and Inspect

When you receive your Ledger hardware wallet, inspect the packaging to ensure it's sealed and untampered. Ledger devices never come with a pre-written recovery phrase. If you find one inside the box, do not use the device.

Connect and Launch

To begin, connect your Ledger Nano to your computer using the included USB cable. Then, go to your desktop and open the official Ledger Live app. Ledger Live is the secure application used to install apps, manage coins, and monitor your balance.

Set Up a New Device

Choose "Set up as new device" and follow the instructions displayed on the device screen. You’ll be prompted to create a secure PIN code, which you’ll use each time you access your wallet. This is a vital layer of protection.

Write Down Your Recovery Phrase

Your Ledger will now generate a 24-word recovery phrase. This phrase is the key to your wallet and must be stored offline in a safe place. Never store it digitally. Ledger will never ask you to share it. If someone gains access to it, they can control your funds.

Install Apps for Coins

Using Ledger Live, install apps for the cryptocurrencies you want to manage. Ledger supports Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and hundreds of other coins and tokens. You can add and remove apps as needed, depending on available device memory.

Start Managing Assets

After installing coin apps, you can add accounts and start sending or receiving assets. All transactions must be confirmed directly on the Ledger device to ensure security. This way, even if your computer is compromised, your keys remain protected.

Stay Updated and Secure

Keep your device firmware and Ledger Live app updated. Ledger regularly releases security improvements and feature enhancements. Enable password lock in the app and consider passphrase protection for added safety.
