Step-by-Step Setup Guide
Check that your device box is sealed, intact, and not pre-configured. Authentic devices never come with a pre-written recovery phrase.
Use the device buttons to navigate the on-screen instructions and begin the initial configuration.
Choose a secure PIN that only you know. This PIN unlocks your Ledger device and must be kept private.
Your recovery phrase is the master key to your crypto. Write all 24 words clearly and store them offline in a safe location.
Install the official Ledger Live app to manage accounts, update firmware, and access crypto features safely.
Inside Ledger Live, select the coins you want to manage and install their apps on your device.
Always confirm receiving addresses directly on the device screen before sending or receiving funds.
