Step-by-Step Setup
Begin by connecting your Ledger device to your computer and visiting Ledger.com/Start. The website detects your device automatically and guides you through the latest firmware installation. Ensuring your device runs the most recent firmware protects your digital assets against vulnerabilities.
Next, create a PIN code directly on your Ledger device. This PIN prevents unauthorized access and is never stored online. Record your recovery phrase carefully — this 24-word backup allows you to restore your wallet in case your device is lost or damaged. Never share it with anyone or store it digitally.
Once setup is complete, you can use Ledger Live to track balances, send and receive cryptocurrency, and explore advanced features like staking or token exchanges. Ledger Live connects seamlessly with your hardware wallet, providing a secure environment for managing Bitcoin, Ethereum, and thousands of other cryptocurrencies.
Ledger’s security-first approach ensures that private keys never leave your device. All sensitive transactions are signed offline, keeping your assets safe from malware and hacking attempts. Ledger.com/Start also offers tutorials and guidance for safe usage practices, helping you protect your digital wealth.
By following the official setup guide at Ledger.com/Start, you ensure the integrity of your wallet and the security of your cryptocurrencies. Ledger combines hardware-level protection with a user-friendly interface, making crypto management simple, transparent, and secure.
