What is Ledger?

Ledger is a leading provider of secure hardware wallets that enable individuals to store, manage, and grow their cryptocurrencies with maximum protection. Unlike hot wallets or online exchanges, Ledger devices give you full ownership and control over your private keys, which are never exposed online.

With Ledger, you hold the keys to your crypto.

Step-by-Step Setup Guide

1. Unbox Your Ledger Device

Your Ledger package includes:

  • Ledger Nano S Plus or Ledger Nano X
  • USB cable
  • Recovery sheet
  • Keychain and instructions

Before proceeding, make sure the box is sealed and untampered. If anything seems suspicious, contact Ledger Support directly.

2. Go to Ledger.com/Start

3. Download Ledger Live

Ledger Live is the companion app that allows you to manage your assets, install apps, and monitor your portfolio. Download it directly from ledger.com/Start to avoid counterfeit versions.

Once installed:

  • Open Ledger Live

4. Set Up Your Ledger Wallet

You will be prompted to:
