Ledger’s ecosystem includes:

  • Ledger Nano X and Ledger Nano S Plus (hardware wallets)
  • Ledger Live, the companion app to manage your crypto securely
  • A growing network of services including crypto buying, staking, swapping, and NFT management

And it all begins at Ledger.com/Start.

Step 2: Set Up Your Ledger Device

  1. Power on the device and connect it to your computer (via USB or Bluetooth, depending on the model).
  2. Choose “Set up as new device” if it’s your first time using it.
  3. Create a secure PIN code (this protects your device from unauthorized use).
  4. Write down your 24-word recovery phrase—this is your only backup if your device is lost, stolen, or damaged.
🛑 Important: Never take a picture of your recovery phrase or store it digitally. Write it down and keep it in a safe place offline.

If you're restoring an existing wallet, choose “Restore from recovery phrase” and enter your 24 words carefully.

Step 3: Download and Install Ledger Live

Once your device is set up, you’ll be prompted to install Ledger Live, the official Ledger software for managing your crypto assets. Ledger Live is available for:

  • Desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux)
  • Mobile (Android and iOS)

From Ledger Live, you can:

  • Add accounts for over 5,500 coins and tokens
  • Receive and send crypto securely
  • Stake coins and earn rewards
  • View and manage NFTs
  • Swap and buy assets through trusted partners

You can download Ledger Live directly from Ledger.com/Start to ensure you’re getting the official app.

Step 4: Add Accounts and Manage Crypto

After installing Ledger Live:

  1. Open the app and connect your device.
  2. Go to the Manager tab to install apps (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum).
  3. In the Accounts tab, click “Add Account” to sync your wallet with Ledger Live.
  4. Start receiving, sending, staking, or swapping your favorite crypto assets.
