Welcome to Ledger — Secure Your Digital Assets the Right Way
Congratulations on taking the first step toward securing your digital assets with Ledger. Whether you’re new to crypto or an experienced investor, Ledger hardware wallets are designed to give you full control and unmatched security for your cryptocurrencies, NFTs, and digital identity.
At Ledger, we believe true ownership starts with security. Unlike software wallets or exchanges, Ledger hardware wallets keep your private keys offline, protected from hacks, malware, and unauthorized access. This means you—and only you—control your assets.
Get Started in a Few Simple Steps
Setting up your Ledger device is quick and straightforward. To begin, make sure you are on the official website: ledger.com/start. This ensures you’re using genuine software and protects you from phishing attempts.
- Download Ledger Live
Ledger Live is the companion app that lets you manage your assets securely. It allows you to check balances, send and receive crypto, install apps, and access Web3 services—all while your private keys stay safely on your device. - Set Up Your Device
When you power on your Ledger device, you’ll be guided through creating a PIN code. This PIN protects your wallet if the device is ever lost or stolen. - Secure Your Recovery Phrase
You’ll receive a 24-word recovery phrase during setup. This phrase is the only backup of your wallet. Write it down on the recovery sheet provided and store it in a secure, offline location. Never share it, never take a photo of it, and never enter it into any website or app.
Why Ledger Is Trusted Worldwide
Ledger combines industry-leading hardware security with a user-friendly experience. Each Ledger device uses a Secure Element chip—the same technology used in passports and credit cards—to protect your private keys. Even if your computer or phone is compromised, your assets remain safe.
Ledger supports thousands of coins and tokens, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and many more. With Ledger Live, you can also explore staking, NFTs, and decentralized applications while keeping full custody of your assets.
Stay Safe: Security Tips
- Ledger will never ask for your recovery phrase.
