Welcome to the world of secure cryptocurrency management with Ledger. Our hardware wallets provide the highest level of security for your digital assets, keeping your private keys offline and protected from online threats.
Important: Before you begin, ensure you have your Ledger device, the USB cable, and a computer or mobile device with internet access.
Setting up your Ledger device is a straightforward process that involves initializing the device, setting up a PIN code, and writing down your recovery phrase. This recovery phrase is the most critical component of your wallet's security - it's the master key that can restore access to your funds if your device is lost, stolen, or damaged.
Once your device is set up, you'll need to install Ledger Live, our companion application that allows you to manage your cryptocurrency portfolio, check balances, send and receive transactions, and install apps for different cryptocurrencies. Ledger Live is available for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.
Security should always be your top priority when dealing with cryptocurrencies. Never share your 24-word recovery phrase with anyone, and store it in a safe place away from prying eyes. Ledger will never ask for your recovery phrase - any request for this information is a scam.
With your Ledger device properly set up, you can confidently explore the world of decentralized finance, NFT marketplaces, and various blockchain applications while maintaining full control over your private keys and digital assets.
