Audience

Designed for new Ledger users and those refreshing their security practices.

Step-by-step setup

1. Start at Ledger.com/start

Open Ledger.com/start to choose your device model and follow tailored instructions. This prevents accidental use of third‑party or malicious guides.

2. Download Ledger Live

Visit the official Ledger Live page to download the desktop or mobile app. Use Ledger Live Download or the main Ledger Live hub at /ledger-live. Install and open the app before connecting your device.

3. Initialize your device

Follow on-screen prompts to create a new wallet or restore an existing one. Ledger devices generate a recovery phrase during setup — write it on the supplied recovery card and store it offline in a secure place.

Device authenticity check

Use Ledger Live’s pairing flow to verify your device firmware and authenticity. If the device prompts for your recovery phrase at any time outside the official setup flow, treat it as compromised and contact support immediately.

Best practices for long-term security

Protect your recovery phrase

Never photograph, copy to cloud storage, or type your recovery phrase into a computer. Consider a fireproof safe or a steel backup plate for enterprise-level durability.

Use firmware and app updates wisely

Allow Ledger Live to prompt and install firmware updates. Confirm update notifications only within Ledger Live and your physical device. If you see an unexpected update prompt via email or a website, ignore it.

Advanced option: Ledger Recover

Ledger offers an optional recovery service to help restore access if you lose your device. Read details and risks at Ledger Recover before opting in.

Third‑party integrations

Ledger integrates with many wallets and services; check compatibility lists on the official site and only connect known trusted dApps. See the product and partner pages for specifics.

Summary & next steps

Start at Ledger.com/start, download Ledger Live from the official hub, initialize your device securely, and keep your recovery phrase offline. Regularly consult Ledger Support for updates, and follow security advisories on the official blog.
