Welcome to Ledger – Secure Your Digital Assets

Ledger is a trusted platform designed to help you securely manage your digital assets. Whether you are new to crypto or already familiar with blockchain technology, this guide will help you get started safely and confidently.

At Ledger, security comes first. Your Ledger hardware wallet is designed to keep your private keys offline, protecting them from online threats such as malware, phishing, and hacking attempts. Unlike software wallets, a Ledger device ensures that your sensitive information never leaves the device.

Getting Started with Your Ledger Device

To begin, make sure your Ledger device is genuine and sealed. Only use Ledger products purchased directly from Ledger or an authorized retailer. Once you are ready, connect your device to your computer or smartphone using the provided cable.

Next, install Ledger Live, the official companion app that allows you to manage your digital assets, install apps, and monitor your portfolio. Ledger Live is available for desktop and mobile and should only be downloaded from the official Ledger website or app stores.

When setting up your device, you will be asked to create a PIN code. This PIN protects your wallet from unauthorized physical access. Choose a code that is difficult to guess and never share it with anyone.

Your Recovery Phrase Matters

During setup, your Ledger device will generate a 24-word recovery phrase. This phrase is the most important part of your wallet’s security. It is the only way to restore access to your assets if your device is lost, damaged, or reset.

Write the recovery phrase down on paper and store it in a safe, offline location. Never take photos of it, store it digitally, or share it with anyone. Ledger will never ask for your recovery phrase—anyone who does is attempting to scam you.

Managing Your Digital Assets

With Ledger Live, you can install apps for supported cryptocurrencies and create accounts to receive and send assets. Each transaction must be confirmed on your Ledger device, ensuring that you remain in control at all times.

Ledger supports a wide range of digital assets and continues to expand compatibility. Always verify transaction details on your device screen before approving anything.

Stay Safe and Informed

Security is an ongoing process. Keep your device firmware and Ledger Live app up to date to benefit from the latest security improvements. Be cautious of unsolicited messages, fake websites, and social media impersonators.

Ledger is committed to helping users understand and practice strong security habits. Take your time, double-check everything, and remember: your assets are only as safe as your recovery phrase.

You are now ready to begin your journey with Ledger—securely, responsibly, and confidently.
