Whether you are new to cryptocurrency or already managing digital assets, protecting your funds with a hardware wallet is essential. Ledger devices provide top-tier security by keeping your private keys offline, away from hackers, malware, and phishing attempts.

If you've purchased a Ledger Nano S Plus, Ledger Nano X, or Ledger Stax, this guide will walk you through the first steps to secure your crypto journey.

Why Choose Ledger?

Ledger is one of the world’s most trusted hardware wallet providers, known for combining convenience, usability, and unmatched security. With Ledger devices, your private keys never leave your wallet, ensuring your cryptocurrencies are always protected—even if your computer or mobile device is compromised.

Ledger wallets support over 5,500 coins and tokens, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), XRP, Solana (SOL), and countless ERC-20 tokens. You can manage all your assets in one place with the Ledger Live application.

Getting Started with Ledger in 5 Easy Steps

1. Visit the Official Site: Ledger.com/start

Begin by going to Ledger’s secure website. Always double-check the URL to ensure you are on the official page, as phishing websites that mimic Ledger’s branding are common.

2. Download Ledger Live

Ledger Live is the official companion app for your Ledger device. Available for desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux) and mobile (iOS, Android), it enables you to set up your wallet, manage crypto accounts, and track your portfolio in real-time.

Ledger Live also allows you to: ✔️ Buy and sell cryptocurrencies ✔️ Stake popular assets like ETH, SOL, and DOT ✔️ Swap tokens securely ✔️ Access DeFi apps while keeping your private keys offline

Download only from ledger.com/start to avoid malicious copies.

3. Set Up Your Ledger Device

Once Ledger Live is installed:

• Connect your Ledger Nano S Plus, Nano X, or Stax to your computer or mobile device
• Follow the on-screen instructions to set up your wallet
• Install the latest firmware updates to ensure optimal security and performance

4. Secure Your 24-Word Recovery Phrase

During setup, your Ledger will generate a 24-word Recovery Phrase, the only backup for your crypto wallet. Write it down carefully and store it offline in a safe place. Never share your Recovery Phrase or store it digitally. Losing this phrase means losing access to your funds.

5. Manage Your Crypto with Confidence

After completing setup:

• Install apps for your preferred cryptocurrencies via Ledger Live
• Send and receive crypto securely
• Explore Web3, DeFi, and staking opportunities
• Rest assured knowing your private keys remain protected by your hardware wallet

Stay Safe: Important Reminders

• Only use ledger.com/start for setup
• Ledger will never ask for your Recovery Phrase via email or phone
• Keep your device firmware updated through Ledger Live

With Ledger, your crypto stays safe, accessible, and under your complete control.

Start your journey today — your keys, your crypto.
