Step-by-Step: Get Started with Ledger Wallet

  1. Unbox and Inspect
    Verify that your Ledger device packaging is sealed and untampered. Only use official accessories and cables.
  2. Visit Ledger.com/start
    Go to ledger.com/start to begin the official onboarding process. This ensures you're using verified tools and avoiding phishing risks.
  3. Download Ledger Live
    Install Ledger Live for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, or Android. Ledger Live is the official app for managing your wallet and crypto assets.
  4. Connect Your Device
    Plug your Ledger Nano X or Nano S Plus into your computer or mobile device. Ledger Live will detect the device and prompt you to install firmware if needed.
  5. Install Firmware
    Follow on-screen instructions to install the latest firmware. This ensures your device is secure and up to date.
  6. Create a New Wallet
    Choose “Set up as new device.” Your Ledger will generate a recovery seed phrase (24 words). Write it down offline—never store it digitally.
  7. Secure Your Recovery Phrase
    Store your recovery phrase in a safe, offline location. Consider using a metal backup for long-term durability. Never share your seed with anyone.
  8. Set a PIN Code
    Choose a strong PIN directly on your Ledger device. This adds an extra layer of protection and prevents unauthorized access.
  9. Install Apps and Add Accounts
    Use Ledger Live to install blockchain apps and add crypto accounts. Supported assets include BTC, ETH, XRP, ADA, DOT, and thousands more.
  10. Send and Receive Crypto
    Use Ledger Live to send and receive transactions. Always verify addresses on your Ledger device screen before confirming.
  11. Stake and Earn
    Stake supported assets like Tezos, Polkadot, and Ethereum 2.0 directly from Ledger Live and earn rewards securely.
  12. Track Your Portfolio
    Monitor your holdings with real-time charts, asset allocation views, and historical performance tracking.
  13. Update Firmware and Apps
    Ledger Live will notify you of updates. Follow instructions carefully and never disconnect during the update process.
