Ledger provides an unmatched level of protection for your cryptocurrencies. By combining hardware security and user-friendly interfaces, you gain full ownership of your digital assets without sacrificing convenience. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced trader, Ledger simplifies the process of storing, sending, and receiving crypto safely.
Every device undergoes rigorous security testing, ensuring private keys never leave your hardware wallet. Ledger bridges the gap between safety and accessibility, making it the preferred solution for millions worldwide.
Begin your journey in three simple stages. Each phase ensures your assets remain protected while providing seamless control over transactions.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Keep your Ledger device up-to-date with firmware updates. Ledger Live notifies you of new updates, providing security enhancements and additional features.
