Step 1: Unbox and Verify
When you receive your Ledger device, make sure the box is sealed and untampered. Ledger devices never come pre-configured, and no recovery phrase is ever included in the box.
Step 2: Visit Ledger.com/start
Go directly to Ledger.com/start to download Ledger Live, the official companion app. This ensures you are using authentic software and not a counterfeit version.

Once installed, Ledger Live will guide you through device setup, firmware updates, and account creation.
Setting Up Your Ledger Device
Create a New Wallet
Choose “Set up as new device” to generate your unique private keys. These keys never leave your Ledger device.
Secure Your PIN Code
Select a PIN code directly on the device. This PIN protects your wallet from unauthorized physical access.
Write Down Your Recovery Phrase
Your 24-word recovery phrase is the most important part of your wallet setup.
⚠️ Security Reminder:
Write it down on paper
Never store it digitally
Never share it with anyone
This phrase is the only way to recover your funds if your device is lost or damaged.
