Getting started — Ledger

Welcome to Ledger.com/Start. This page gives a short, clear guide to set up your Ledger hardware wallet safely. A hardware wallet keeps your cryptocurrency private keys offline and under your control. Follow these basic steps to get started quickly and securely.

1. Unbox your Ledger device and verify the tamper-evident seal.
2. Connect the device to your computer and visit ledger.com/start to download Ledger Live.
3. Create a new wallet, write down the recovery phrase on the supplied card, and store it somewhere safe — never share it online.
4. Install the apps for the cryptocurrencies you use and receive funds to your Ledger address.

If you ever need help, Ledger’s official support and step-by-step tutorials are available at the link above. Keep software updated and always double-check addresses when sending funds.
