How to Begin with Ledger
Start by connecting your Ledger device to your computer or smartphone using the provided USB cable. Open your browser and go to Ledger.com/start. From there, you can download the official Ledger Live app, which acts as your command center for managing your digital assets.
Ledger Live allows you to install apps for various cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and many others. The application provides an intuitive interface to check your balance, send and receive crypto, and even stake or swap supported coins. Each operation is verified on your device to ensure full control and security.
Setting Up Your Device
Once your Ledger device is connected, the app will guide you through setting up a new wallet. You’ll generate a 24-word recovery phrase—your ultimate backup. Write it down on the recovery sheet provided and keep it in a secure, offline location. This phrase is the key to restoring your assets if your device is ever lost or damaged.
Next, set a PIN code for quick access to your device. Every action you perform must be confirmed on the physical device screen, preventing malware or phishing attacks. This ensures your private keys remain safe within your hardware wallet, disconnected from online threats.
Security and Confidence with Ledger
Ledger hardware wallets are built on a certified secure element chip, offering enterprise-level protection. With the combination of Ledger Live and your device, you maintain absolute ownership of your crypto—your keys, your coins. The Ledger ecosystem gives peace of mind and long-term stability for digital investors.
