Welcome to the Official Ledger Setup Guide
Your crypto safety starts at Ledger.com/Start. The Ledger Nano series—Nano X and Nano S Plus—helps you take full control of your digital currencies. With state-of-the-art security and user-friendly design, Ledger devices allow you to keep your private keys offline while still enjoying the convenience of modern crypto management.
Begin by connecting your Ledger wallet to your computer or smartphone. Open your browser and go to Ledger.com/start to download the official Ledger Live app. This companion software enables you to buy, sell, swap, and manage a variety of cryptocurrencies while ensuring your private keys never leave the secure hardware chip.
Once installed, follow the guided steps to initialize your device. You can create a new wallet or restore an existing one with your recovery phrase. Always record your 24-word recovery phrase carefully and keep it in a safe, offline place. Never share it with anyone— even Ledger support—because it’s the only key to recover your funds if your device is ever lost or damaged.
Set up a PIN and enable optional passphrase protection to add extra layers of security. Within Ledger Live, you can install apps for different blockchains, track your portfolio, and even stake your crypto. Every transaction must be confirmed on your Ledger device, ensuring no one can move your assets without your physical approval.
Ledger stands for transparency, independence, and empowerment. All its firmware and code are open-source and audited by the community. With Ledger, you truly own your crypto. Take control of your financial freedom today — start your secure journey at Ledger.com/Start and protect what matters most.
