To begin, connect your Ledger device — such as the Ledger Nano X or Ledger Nano S Plus — to your computer using the provided cable. Once connected, open your browser and go to Ledger.com/Start. This page will guide you to download the official Ledger Live app, which acts as your crypto management dashboard.
Setting Up Ledger Live
Ledger Live is your all-in-one platform to manage, buy, sell, and stake cryptocurrencies. Available for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS, it offers full transparency and simplicity while maintaining Ledger’s industry-grade security. You can monitor your portfolio in real time, manage NFTs, and connect to DeFi apps safely.
When setting up Ledger Live, make sure your firmware is up to date. The setup wizard will walk you through creating a new wallet or restoring one using your 24-word recovery phrase. This phrase is your master key — never share it or enter it on any website. Write it down on paper and store it in a secure location offline.
Why Choose Ledger?
Ledger’s hardware wallets are trusted globally for their Secure Element chip technology, the same type used in passports and credit cards. Unlike software wallets, your private keys never leave your Ledger device, ensuring complete control over your crypto. Each transaction requires physical confirmation on your device, which eliminates the risk of phishing or unauthorized access.
