Getting Started: Step-by-Step

Begin your journey in three simple stages. Each phase ensures your assets remain protected while providing seamless control over transactions.

1. Acquire a Ledger Device

Select the hardware wallet that fits your needs. Ledger Nano S Plus and Nano X are popular choices offering top-notch security and portability. Purchase only from authorized vendors to avoid counterfeit products.

2. Initialize Your Wallet

Follow the device setup guide to create a new wallet. Record the recovery phrase carefully; this is the only way to restore your assets if your device is lost or damaged.

3. Install Ledger Live

Download Ledger Live on your computer or smartphone. This companion application allows you to manage accounts, view balances, send and receive cryptocurrencies, and access the Ledger app catalog.

4. Connect Your Device

Use a USB cable or Bluetooth (Nano X only) to link your Ledger hardware wallet with Ledger Live. Authenticate the connection by verifying device prompts for maximum security.

5. Add Cryptocurrencies

Within Ledger Live, select the cryptocurrencies you wish to manage and install their respective apps on your device. Accounts are created automatically, providing instant access to balances and transaction history.

6. Secure Your Backup

Safeguard your recovery phrase by storing it offline in a secure location. Consider using metal backup solutions for durability against fire or water damage. Never share this phrase digitally.

7. Make Your First Transaction

Send or receive cryptocurrency safely by verifying details directly on the device screen. This ensures your private keys are never exposed to your computer or mobile device.

8. Regularly Update Firmware

Keep your Ledger device up-to-date with firmware updates. Ledger Live notifies you of new updates, providing security enhancements and additional features.
