It ensures you're following the correct procedure to safely initialize your wallet and take full control of your crypto.
How to Set Up Your Ledger Device
Unbox your Ledger device and make sure everything is intact. Connect the device to your computer or mobile phone using the supplied cable. Download the Ledger Live application on your device through the official website. Launch Ledger Live and select "Set up a new device." The app will guide you through choosing a PIN code and generating your 24-word recovery phrase. This phrase is your only backup and must be written down and stored offline. Do not take a photo of it or store it digitally. After setup, install the apps needed for the cryptocurrencies you want to manage and create your accounts.
Understanding Your Device’s Security
Your Ledger wallet includes a certified secure element, which is responsible for creating and storing your private keys. These keys never leave your device. Every transaction must be reviewed and confirmed directly on your Ledger screen, ensuring complete control over what you sign. This offline system protects your crypto even if your computer or smartphone is compromised.
What You Can Do After Setup
Once your device is set up, Ledger Live becomes your central dashboard for managing your assets. You can send and receive cryptocurrencies, buy and sell through trusted partners, stake eligible assets, view your portfolio performance, and access Web3 features. The interface is designed to be secure, simple, and powerful for all types of users.
Keeping Your Crypto Secure Long-Term
Never share your 24-word recovery phrase with anyone. Keep it offline and stored in a safe, secure location. Only use Ledger Live software downloaded from the official website. Always check the screen of your Ledger device before approving any transaction. Keep your device and the app updated to benefit from the latest security enhancements and features.

If you have trouble setting up or using your device, Ledger provides official customer support directly through the Ledger Live app. You can also access help articles, troubleshooting steps, and product updates. Remember, Ledger will never ask you for your recovery phrase—no matter what.
