Begin Your Ledger Hardware Wallet Setup
Ledger hardware wallets provide unparalleled security by storing your private keys offline. To get started, download the official Ledger Live app from Ledger.com/start on your desktop or mobile. Connect your Ledger device using the supplied USB cable or Bluetooth (if supported) and launch Ledger Live.
The app will guide you through initializing your device: setting a secure 4-8 digit PIN, writing down your recovery phrase carefully, and verifying device authenticity. Never share your recovery phrase—it is the only way to recover your funds if your device is lost or damaged.
