📦 Step 1: Unbox Your Ledger® Wallet
Inside your Ledger® package, you'll find:
- ✅ Ledger Nano device
- ✅ USB cable
- ✅ Recovery phrase sheets
- ✅ Instructions manual
Ensure the package is sealed and tamper-proof. If you notice anything suspicious, contact Ledger® support immediately. ⚠️
🔌 Step 2: Connect Your Device
Use the included USB cable to connect your Ledger® wallet to your computer or mobile device. Once plugged in, the screen will light up, showing the Ledger logo. This confirms your device is authentic and ready to set up. 🌐
🌍 Step 3: Visit Ledger.com/Start
Open your browser and go to the official Ledger® start page. Never download software or apps from unofficial sources. Staying on Ledger.com/Start guarantees you’re using only trusted tools and avoiding phishing attacks. 🛡️
💻 Step 4: Download Ledger Live
Ledger Live is the official application for managing your assets. Compatible with Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS, it allows you to:
- 🔍 Check balances and track your portfolio
- 💱 Buy, sell, and swap crypto
- 🔑 Install apps for each supported coin
- 📥 Receive and send cryptocurrencies securely
Download it directly from the site, install it, and launch to begin. 🚀
📲 Step 5: Set Up Your Device in Ledger Live
Open Ledger Live and select "Initialize as new device" if you’re setting it up for the first time. Follow the on-screen instructions carefully. You’ll be guided through choosing a secure PIN and writing down your 24-word recovery phrase. 📒🖊️
🧠 Step 6: Secure Your Recovery Phrase
Your 24-word phrase is the backup to your crypto assets. Ledger® will display these words one at a time — write them down and store them offline in a safe place. Never take screenshots, photos, or store them digitally. 📵 This phrase is your lifeline if you lose or reset your device.
🔁 Step 7: Confirm Your Recovery Phrase
Ledger Live will ask you to confirm selected words from your recovery phrase to ensure you've written them correctly. This step adds a layer of confidence and ensures you won’t lose access to your funds. ✅
🔐 Step 8: Set a PIN Code
On your Ledger device, set a PIN of 4-8 digits. This code protects your device from unauthorized access. Choose a unique PIN that isn’t easy to guess, and avoid repeating numbers like 1111 or 1234. 🔢
🧩 Step 9: Install Crypto Apps
In Ledger Live, go to the “Manager” tab and install the apps for the cryptocurrencies you want to manage, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, or others. You can now send, receive, and manage those assets securely. 💰📲
📊 Step 10: Explore and Stay Updated
