Welcome to Ledger: Your First Step to Ultimate Crypto Security

Take Control of Your Digital Assets

In the world of cryptocurrency, true ownership begins with security. Your journey to financial sovereignty starts here with Ledger—the most trusted name in hardware wallet technology. Welcome to your personal gateway to secure crypto management, designed to give you complete control while protecting your digital wealth from evolving threats.

Why Start with Ledger?

When you buy cryptocurrency on an exchange, you don't truly own it yet. The exchange holds your private keys—the digital proof of ownership. Not your keys, not your crypto. Ledger changes this dynamic by putting you in absolute control through military-grade security technology that keeps your private keys offline and inaccessible to hackers.

Ledger delivers:

  • Unbreakable Security: Bank-level secure chip technology

  • Complete Ownership: Your keys never leave your device

  • Total Freedom: Manage thousands of assets across ecosystems

  • Future-Proof Design: Regular updates and new feature releases

Your Journey in Three Simple Steps

Step 1: Select Your Security Companion

Choose the Ledger device that matches your crypto journey:

Ledger Nano S Plus
The perfect entry point into secure crypto management. Supporting over 5,500 digital assets with USB connectivity and an intuitive interface, it's the ideal choice for beginners establishing their first secure wallet.

Ledger Nano X
Advanced protection for active traders and crypto pioneers. Featuring Bluetooth connectivity for mobile management, larger storage capacity, and support for 100+ simultaneous apps, it's designed for those who demand both security and convenience.

Begin by installing Ledger Live—your command center for crypto management. Always download from our official website to ensure authenticity.

Initialize Your Device

  1. Connect your Ledger device via USB or Bluetooth

  2. Follow the on-screen instructions in Ledger Live

  3. Create a secure PIN code (never share this with anyone)

Secure Your Recovery Phrase
This is the most critical step in your crypto security journey. Your device will generate a unique 24-word recovery phrase—the master key to all your assets.

Golden Rules for Your Recovery Phrase:

  • Write it down on your provided recovery sheet

  • Never digitize it (no photos, no cloud storage, no text files)

  • Share it with no one

Install Asset Applications
Use Ledger Live to install apps for each cryptocurrency you own. These lightweight applications enable your device to manage different blockchain networks while keeping your keys securely isolated.

Step 3: Begin Your Secure Crypto Experience

Receive Assets with Confidence
Generate receiving addresses directly through Ledger Live, then always verify the address on your device's screen before accepting any funds.

Send with Complete Security
Every transaction requires your physical confirmation via the device buttons, ensuring no malware can alter or approve transfers without your knowledge.

Ledger devices utilize Secure Element chips—the same technology protecting credit cards and passports. This specialized hardware is designed to resist sophisticated physical and software attacks, creating an impenetrable vault for your private keys.

Ledger Live automatically verifies your device's authenticity upon connection, ensuring you haven't received a tampered or counterfeit product. Our open-source approach allows community verification of our security claims.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Ledger protect me from hackers?

Ledger uses multiple layers of security: (1) A certified Secure Element chip resistant to physical tampering, (2) Complete isolation of private keys from internet-connected devices, (3) Mandatory physical confirmation of all transactions, and (4) Genuine check technology that prevents malware from impersonating your device.

What happens if I lose my Ledger device?

Your crypto remains completely safe on the blockchain. Simply use your 24-word recovery phrase to restore access on a new Ledger device. Your recovery phrase is your ultimate backup—this is why we emphasize its physical security above all else.

Can Ledger devices be compromised during shipping?

All Ledger devices include tamper-evident packaging and are cryptographically verified by Ledger Live upon first connection. If the genuine check fails, the device will not operate. We recommend only purchasing from Ledger.com or authorized retailers.

Do I need technical knowledge to use a Ledger?

Not at all. Ledger Live guides you through every step with intuitive visuals and clear instructions. Our setup process takes approximately 10-15 minutes, and our support center provides extensive resources for all experience levels.

How many cryptocurrencies can I store on my Ledger?

Ledger devices support over 5,500 digital assets and counting. The Nano S Plus can run 3-6 applications simultaneously, while the Nano X can manage 100+. You can always uninstall and reinstall apps as needed—your assets remain safe on the blockchain regardless.

What if Ledger goes out of business?

Your crypto is stored on the blockchain, not on our servers. You can always access your assets using your recovery phrase with compatible wallet software. Ledger devices are designed to be independent of our continued operation.
