Why Choose a Ledger® Wallet?

A Ledger® hardware wallet gives you full control of your crypto by keeping your private keys offline. This makes it much harder for hackers or malware to steal your funds.

Here are the benefits of using a Ledger® device:

  • Offline storage of private keys
  • Support for thousands of coins and tokens
  • Secure chip (CC EAL5+) built for protection
  • Easy-to-use Ledger Live app for management
  • Physical confirmation for all transactions
  • NFT and staking support

Whether you’re holding Bitcoin, Ethereum, or altcoins, Ledger® helps protect your investments from online threats.

What’s Inside the Ledger Box?

When you open your Ledger package, it should include:

  • One Ledger device
  • One USB cable (or Bluetooth option for Nano X)
  • Three blank recovery sheets
  • A quick start guide
  • Ledger stickers
  • Legal and warranty information

If anything is missing or looks tampered with, stop and contact official Ledger® support immediately.

Step-by-Step Setup Guide

Step 1: Go to Ledger.com/Start®®

Type Ledger.com/Start®® directly into your browser. From there, select your device model and follow the instructions provided.

Step 2: Download Ledger Live

Ledger Live is the official desktop and mobile app used to manage your wallet. Download it for Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, or Android. It is the only app recommended by Ledger® for secure management of your assets.

Step 3: Connect and Initialize Your Device

  3. Write down the 24-word recovery phrase using the provided recovery sheet.
  4. Confirm the phrase on the device to complete setup.

🔒 Important: Your 24-word recovery phrase is the key to your wallet. Do not take a photo, store it online, or share it with anyone. Ledger® will never ask for it.

  • Add accounts for coins like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and more
