Welcome — Secure your crypto with Ledger

Why hardware wallets matter and how Ledger helps you keep control.

Using a hardware wallet is the single most effective step to keep your cryptocurrency private keys safe from online attackers. Ledger hardware devices store your private keys offline, requiring physical confirmation to sign transactions — a simple but powerful security model that prevents remote theft.

Step 1 — Choose the right Ledger device

Compare Nano S Plus, Nano X, Stax and newer models.

Different Ledger models fit different needs: compact entry-level devices are great if you primarily store a few assets; more advanced devices support Bluetooth, larger screens, or unique form factors. Pick a model from Ledger's official store to ensure authenticity.

Step 2 — Unbox and verify authenticity

Security begins before first use — check packaging and serials.

Always buy directly from Ledger or an authorized reseller. Inspect the box and tamper-evident seals. If anything looks altered, contact Ledger support and avoid using the device. Authentic devices are shipped sealed and include clear instructions to start at the official URL below.

Step 3 — Install Ledger Live

Ledger Live is the companion app for device setup and asset management.

Download Ledger Live from the official page only. Ledger Live helps you install apps on your device, create or restore wallets, and manage transaction history. During setup you’ll create a PIN and receive the recovery phrase — treat it like cash: offline and private.

Step 4 — Set a strong PIN & backup

Choose a PIN you can remember and secure your recovery phrase safely.

Do not store your recovery phrase digitally or share it. Use the supplied recovery sheet or a metal backup solution. Ledger provides clear guidance on creating a secure backup and offers products for durable recovery storage. Losing your recovery phrase means losing access to your funds.

Step 5 — Add accounts & apps

Use Ledger Live to add cryptocurrency accounts and install apps.

Ledger uses small apps (one per blockchain) to interact with assets. Install only the apps you need, then add accounts in Ledger Live. Each account corresponds to an address and balances shown in the app — but transactions always require physical confirmation on your device.

Step 6 — Sending and receiving securely

Check addresses on the device screen before confirming.

When receiving, always verify the receiving address inside Ledger Live and on the device screen. When sending, confirm both amount and recipient address on the device. Attackers may try to manipulate software interfaces — the physical confirmation is what protects you.
