When you receive your Ledger wallet, inspect the package carefully. Ledger devices are built with advanced security features, and they do not come with pre-written recovery phrases. Inside the box, you should find your Ledger device, a USB cable, recovery sheets, and instruction material.
Ledger Live™ is the official companion application that allows you to manage crypto assets securely. Download it only from Ledger.com/Start®. It is available for Windows®, macOS®, Linux®, Android®, and iOS®.
When you first power on your Ledger device, you will be prompted to configure it as a new device. Use the buttons on the hardware wallet to navigate the instructions.
Your PIN protects physical access to your device. Choose a 4-8 digit PIN that cannot be guessed easily. Never share it with others.
Carefully write each word in order on the recovery sheet provided. Store it offline in a secure place. Ledger Support™ will never ask for this phrase.
Ledger Live™ will verify that your device is genuine using cryptographic attestation. This ensures your wallet has not been tampered with. Follow the instructions inside Ledger Live to complete the process.
Your Ledger device can hold multiple crypto apps simultaneously. Each app enables management of a specific blockchain like Bitcoin®, Ethereum®, or Solana®.
Accounts represent blockchain addresses linked to your device. Once apps are installed, you can add accounts in Ledger Live to track balances and transactions securely.
Ledger regularly releases firmware updates to enhance security and performance. Always update using Ledger Live and follow instructions carefully. Ensure your recovery phrase is safely stored before any update.
If you experience issues, visit the Ledger Support™ section on the official website. You will find guides, FAQs, and help articles covering connectivity issues, PIN resets, recovery phrase restoration, and device troubleshooting.
