Getting Started with Ledger
Welcome to Ledger.com/Start®. This is your official step-by-step guide designed to help new users set up their Ledger Nano device, secure their cryptocurrencies, and fully understand how to protect digital wealth in today’s fast-moving financial landscape. Ledger hardware wallets are trusted worldwide for delivering the highest standard of security.
To begin, connect your Ledger wallet to your computer or mobile device and install the Ledger Live application. This software will serve as your control center, giving you access to transactions, portfolio insights, and firmware updates. During the initial setup, you will create a PIN code and generate your 24-word recovery phrase. This phrase is the master key to your funds—keep it written on paper and stored in a safe, offline location.
Once your device is configured, install the specific apps for the cryptocurrencies you plan to manage. Ledger supports hundreds of assets, and using apps ensures that your private keys remain securely inside your device. Remember, Ledger never stores your keys or recovery phrase online—your security stays in your hands at all times.
After setup, you can explore advanced features such as staking, DeFi access, and operating multiple accounts. The Ledger Live interface helps simplify these processes, even for beginners. If you are new to crypto, take time to explore the built-in educational tips so you gain confidence before carrying out significant transactions.
Security is a process, not a one-time step. Always update your Ledger firmware when prompted, verify addresses before confirming transactions, and avoid sharing your recovery phrase under any condition. With these practices, you can trust that your digital assets remain safe against malicious threats.
