Welcome to Ledger Setup
Setting up your Ledger Wallet is the first step to safeguarding your cryptocurrency assets with maximum security. Ledger provides a seamless, intuitive experience for beginners and professionals alike. Follow this guide to ensure a safe, reliable, and verified setup process.
Before you begin, make sure you have:
- A Ledger device (Nano S, Nano X, or Nano S Plus)
- A secure internet connection
- Patience and attention to detail
By carefully following the steps outlined below, you'll ensure that your private keys remain secure and your digital assets are fully protected. This process will also familiarize you with Ledger’s intuitive interface, allowing you to manage your crypto with confidence.
Step 1: Initialize Your Ledger Device
Power on your Ledger device and follow the on-screen instructions. Choose 'Create a new wallet' if this is your first device, or 'Restore from recovery phrase' if you already own a wallet.
Always remember: never share your recovery phrase with anyone. Ledger will never ask for your recovery phrase online. Store it securely in a physical location, not digitally.
Step 2: Install Ledger Live
Ledger Live is the official application for managing your Ledger wallet. Download it from the official Ledger website only. Install it on your trusted computer or smartphone.
- Open Ledger Live and select your device type
- Follow the prompts to pair your device
- Check firmware updates to keep your device secure
Ledger Live will guide you through adding accounts, sending and receiving crypto, and installing applications for different coins securely.
Step 3: Secure Your Recovery Phrase
The 24-word recovery phrase is your lifeline to your funds. Write it down carefully and store it in a safe, private location. Ledger recommends using the provided recovery sheet for physical backup.
Never take photos or store your recovery phrase digitally. Digital storage introduces hacking risks and can compromise your wallet.
Step 4: Complete Wallet Setup
Once your device is initialized, Ledger Live is installed, and your recovery phrase is secured, you can finalize setup. Verify your accounts, install apps for your favorite cryptocurrencies, and start managing your assets securely.
Your Ledger wallet is now ready. Always follow Ledger’s security best practices:
- Keep your device firmware updated
- Never share recovery phrases or PIN codes
- Use official Ledger apps and websites only
