Step-by-Step Guide: Getting Started with Your Ledger

If you’ve just purchased your Ledger Nano X or Ledger Nano S Plus, congratulations – you’ve taken a major step toward securing your crypto. Follow this step-by-step guide to set up your device safely and correctly.

1. Visit the Official Setup Page

Go to Ledger.com/Start — this is the only official site to download Ledger Live and initialize your device securely. Avoid third-party websites or apps, as they may compromise your device.

2. Download Ledger Live

Ledger Live is the official app that connects to your hardware wallet. It allows you to manage your crypto portfolio, install apps, send and receive assets, and access services such as staking or buying crypto directly.

Available for desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux) and mobile (iOS, Android), Ledger Live is your command center for all things crypto.

3. Set Up Your Device

Once Ledger Live is installed:

  • Connect your Ledger Nano device via USB (or Bluetooth for Nano X).
  • Follow the on-screen instructions.
  • Choose "Set up as new device" if it's your first time.
  • Create a secure PIN code on the device.
  • Write down your 24-word recovery phrase on the provided Recovery Sheet.

⚠️ Important: Never share your recovery phrase with anyone. Ledger will never ask for it. If someone has access to your 24 words, they have access to your assets.

4. Verify and Secure

After setup:

  • Confirm your recovery phrase.
  • Verify your device is genuine using Ledger Live.
  • Install apps for each cryptocurrency you plan to manage.
  • Add accounts in Ledger Live to view and interact with your coins or tokens.

5. Transfer Your Crypto

Now you can safely send your crypto from exchanges or software wallets to your Ledger hardware wallet. Use the receive feature in Ledger Live to generate a receiving address and verify it on your device before sharing.

This ensures that your funds are going exactly where they should.
