YOUR CRYPTO, YOUR CONTROL
Your Ledger journey starts here. Get to know your device, set it up securely, and take your first steps into self-custody—with confidence at every step.
A SIMPLE PLACE TO BEGIN
Take your time. Your security is worth getting right.
Ledger Live is the companion app for managing your device and exploring supported crypto. Download it only from Ledger.com or your device’s official app store. Avoid search ads and links from unsolicited messages.
Find Ledger LiveFollow the instructions shown in Ledger Live and on your device. Create a PIN known only to you, then carefully write down your recovery phrase in the order displayed. Your device should generate this phrase during setup.
Learn the security basicsOnce setup is complete, learn how accounts, network fees, and transactions work before moving assets. Start small, verify every address on your device screen, and use Ledger’s official help center whenever something doesn’t look right.

With self-custody, you hold the keys that control access to your crypto. A Ledger signer keeps your private keys protected on your device, while Ledger Live helps you view accounts and prepare transactions. You approve transactions on the device itself—so take a moment to check what you’re approving.
GOOD TO KNOW
New to crypto security? Start with these essentials, then keep learning as you go.
Visit the Help CenterA Ledger signer is a hardware device designed to keep your private keys isolated from internet-connected devices. You use it to review and approve transactions. It does not store crypto itself; your assets remain recorded on their respective blockchains.
Your recovery phrase is the secret backup that can restore access to your accounts. Write it down offline, keep it somewhere private and secure, and never photograph, email, or type it into a website or app. Anyone who gets it may gain control of your assets.
No. Never disclose your recovery phrase—not to support agents, websites, or anyone claiming they can help. If a person or message asks for it, stop and verify through official Ledger support channels.
Use the official Ledger setup guides and Help Center at ledger.com. Check URLs carefully, avoid sponsored search results that imitate official pages, and install software only from trusted official sources.
READY WHEN YOU ARE
Set up carefully. Stay curious. Keep control.
