Step 1: Unbox and Inspect Your Ledger Device

Before beginning, check your Ledger device packaging for any signs of tampering. Ledger devices are shipped in tamper-evident packaging to ensure authenticity.

Once verified, connect your device to your computer using the supplied USB cable. The Ledger logo will appear on the screen, indicating it’s ready for setup.

Step 2: Access Ledger.com/start

Open a secure browser and visit Ledger.com/start. This official page detects your device type and provides the correct setup instructions. Avoid third-party guides or links, as they may compromise your security.

On Ledger.com/start, you can also download Ledger Live, the companion software that allows you to manage multiple cryptocurrencies, track your portfolio, and send or receive assets safely.

Step 3: Initialize Your Ledger Device

Follow the on-screen instructions to create a new wallet or recover an existing one. If creating a new wallet, the device will generate a 24-word recovery phrase—your ultimate backup. Write it down carefully and store it offline. Never share it digitally, and do not store it on cloud services.

Set up a secure PIN code on your Ledger device to prevent unauthorized access. The PIN adds an extra layer of protection for your crypto assets.

Step 4: Install Ledger Live

While the device alone can store your assets, installing Ledger Live gives you a full suite of tools to manage your portfolio. Ledger Live provides:

• Real-time portfolio tracking
• Cryptocurrency send/receive functionality
• Support for over 5,500 coins and tokens
• Secure firmware updates

Always download Ledger Live from Ledger.com/start to ensure authenticity.
