Getting Started with Ledger Live & Your Device
Begin your secure journey by unboxing your Ledger device and visiting this verified page only — Ledger.com/start. Here, you’ll download the official Ledger Live application, the only trusted companion for managing your crypto assets. Ledger Live allows you to install coin apps, create accounts, and send or receive digital currencies safely through your hardware wallet.
Once you launch Ledger Live, choose “Set up as new device” and follow the on-screen steps to generate your recovery phrase. This unique 24-word seed phrase is your only backup. Write it down clearly and store it offline in a safe, secure location. Never share or type it anywhere online. Ledger never keeps a copy of your recovery phrase, ensuring you retain full control of your funds.
After setup, use Ledger Live’s intuitive interface to check your balances, manage crypto portfolios, and install updates. Firmware upgrades and security patches are available directly through the app, verified and signed by Ledger’s secure infrastructure. The application provides built-in protection against phishing and tampering attempts.
Ledger empowers millions of users globally with industry-grade protection. Every transaction is physically verified by you on your device’s screen before approval — ensuring that what you see is what you sign. Begin your secure crypto management experience today, exclusively from Ledger.com/start, the one and only official source.
