Official Setup: Getting Started with Ledger

Your secure journey into crypto starts here. Follow these crucial steps to set up your device safely and correctly.

Security First: Always follow the official instructions provided with your device. Never share your 24-word Recovery Phrase with anyone or input it into any digital device. The Recovery Phrase is your master key.

1 Unboxing and Initial Device Setup

This is the starting point for your device. Ensure the box seals are intact before proceeding.

Checklist for Setup:

  • Device is fully charged (if wireless) or connected via USB.
  • You have a pen and the provided Recovery Sheets.
  • You are in a private, quiet place with no onlookers.

CRITICAL WARNING: Your 24-word phrase will only be displayed ONCE on the device screen. Write it down carefully and verify every word!

2 Download and Install Ledger Live

Ledger Live is the mandatory application for managing your assets, updating firmware, and installing apps on your device.

  1. Visit the **official Ledger website** (always verify the URL).
  2. Navigate to the 'Download Ledger Live' section.
  3. Install the software on your desktop or mobile device.
  4. **IMPORTANT:** Do not download Ledger Live from any third-party app store or link.

The first time you open Ledger Live, you will be guided through an 'authenticity check' to ensure your device is genuine. This process involves a cryptographic verification...

Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam, eaque ipsa quae ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta sunt explicabo. Nemo enim ipsam voluptatem quia voluptas sit aspernatur aut odit aut fugit, sed quia consequuntur magni dolores eos qui ratione voluptatem sequi nesciunt...

3 Connect, Verify, and Update Firmware

Once Ledger Live is installed, you need to securely pair your device and ensure its firmware is up-to-date for the latest security patches.

Connecting your device is simple. Plug it into your computer and unlock it with your PIN. Ledger Live will then prompt you to perform the following actions, always double-checking the instructions on your hardware screen...

Neque porro quisquam est, qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit, sed quia non numquam eius modi tempora incidunt ut labore et dolore magnam aliquam quaerat voluptatem. Ut enim ad minima veniam, quis nostrum exercitationem ullam corporis suscipit laboriosam, nisi ut aliquid ex ea commodi consequatur...

4 Installing Apps and Adding Your First Account

The Ledger device doesn't hold your crypto; it holds the private keys. To manage different coins (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum), you need to install their corresponding applications on the device via Ledger Live.

The final steps involve adding an account, verifying the receive address, and securing your first transaction. Remember to **always verify the receiving address** on your hardware device screen before confirming the transaction.

At vero eos et accusamus et iusto odio dignissimos ducimus qui blanditiis praesentium voluptatum deleniti atque corrupti quos dolores et quas molestias excepturi sint occaecati cupiditate non provident, similique sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollitia animi, id est laborum et dolorum fuga...
