Your assets.
Your rules.
Security can feel simple. Start with the essentials, move at your own pace, and stay in control from day one.
Getting started with Ledger is a simple step toward taking control of your digital assets. A Ledger hardware wallet keeps your private keys offline, away from the everyday online environment, while Ledger Live helps you explore supported assets and services from one place. Begin by choosing your Ledger device, then follow the official setup flow to install Ledger Live, connect your wallet, and create a new recovery phrase. Your recovery phrase is the essential backup to your wallet: write it down offline, keep it private, and never share it with anyone. Ledger will never ask you to reveal it online.
Before making a transaction, take a moment to verify the destination and details on your device screen. Explore the Ledger Academy for clear explanations of wallets, tokens, and common security practices. Only download Ledger Live through Ledger’s official website, and keep your device’s software up to date. Setup is designed to guide you at your own pace, whether you’re opening your first wallet or refreshing your security routine. Start with the official instructions, read every prompt carefully, and keep your recovery phrase somewhere safe. With a few thoughtful steps, you can build a more confident foundation for managing crypto independently.
