A GOOD START, STEP BY STEP

Three steps. One safer setup.

Take your time through each step. Your device will guide you along, and you’re always in control.

Unbox and check

Buy from Ledger’s official website or an authorized reseller. Open the box yourself and follow the device prompts—your recovery phrase should never arrive pre-filled.

Start with Ledger

Install the official app

Download Ledger Wallet (formerly Ledger Live) only from Ledger’s official site or your device’s official app store. Connect your device and let the app walk you through setup.

Get Ledger Wallet

Back up offline

Write your recovery phrase on the supplied paper and store it somewhere private and secure. Never photograph it, type it into a website, or share it with anyone.

Review security tips

Your recovery phrase is the master backup to your wallet. Ledger Support will never ask you for it.

A LITTLE MORE PEACE OF MIND

Security isn’t a setting.
It’s a habit.

Self-custody means you hold the keys. That’s empowering—and it comes with a few simple habits worth making second nature.

Build your safety checklist

Verify every download

Use ledger.com links you typed yourself or saved as a bookmark.

✓

Keep your phrase offline

Ledger will never ask you to enter it online or share it with support.

THE IDEA BEHIND LEDGER

Confidence, by design.

Hardware security meets a straightforward experience—so you can focus on learning, not second-guessing your setup.

Your keys stay offline

Private keys are kept on your hardware wallet and transactions are confirmed on the device itself.

SECURE SELF-CUSTODY

One place to manage

Ledger Wallet brings supported crypto accounts and portfolio information together in one app.

MADE FOR EVERYDAY USE

You stay in control

Review details and approve actions with your device. You decide what happens, one step at a time.

YOU HOLD THE KEYS

SAVE THIS. SERIOUSLY.

Your recovery phrase
is yours alone.

Anyone who gets it can access your crypto. Keep it private, keep it offline, and take a moment to check before you act.

The never-share listKeep these rules close. 🛡️

× Never enter your recovery phrase on a website or in an app.
× Never share it with someone claiming to be Ledger Support.
× Never store it in a photo, email, cloud note, or chat.
