How to Set Up Your Ledger Wallet

Step 1 — Visit Ledger.com/start

Go to Ledger.com/start. Choose your device model — Ledger Nano X, Nano S Plus, or Ledger Stax — and follow the official instructions. This ensures that you’re downloading genuine software.

Step 2 — Verify Your Device

Check the packaging and ensure the box seal is intact. Ledger never ships wallets that are pre-initialized. If you find a printed recovery phrase inside the box, do not use the device — contact Ledger support immediately.

Step 3 — Download Ledger Live

Ledger Live is your companion app to manage crypto, install apps, and check your portfolio in real time. Download it only from Ledger.com/ledger-live and install it on your desktop or mobile.

Step 4 — Create Your PIN and Recovery Phrase

Turn on your Ledger device and set a secure PIN (4–8 digits). Your device will generate a 24-word recovery phrase — write it down carefully on the provided sheet.

🚫 Never share your recovery phrase online. Ledger will never ask for it — not by email, phone, or chat.

Step 5 — Install Apps and Add Accounts

In Ledger Live, open “My Ledger” to install the apps for your favorite cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.). Then, go to “Accounts” → “Add Account” to start managing your crypto securely.

Step 6 — Transfer and Verify

Move your funds from exchanges or hot wallets to your Ledger. Always verify the address on your device screen before confirming the transaction — your device is the final authority.

Secure Your Future with Ledger

With your Ledger wallet, you control your assets — not an exchange, not a custodian, only you. By combining hardware-level encryption and user-friendly design, Ledger empowers anyone to safely own crypto, NFTs, and Web3 assets.
