Ledger Hardware Wallets are physical devices designed to secure your cryptocurrency offline, providing maximum protection against hacking, malware, and phishing. Unlike software wallets, your private keys never leave the device.
Unbox your Ledger device and ensure it’s official. Connect via USB (Nano S) or Bluetooth (Nano X) to your computer or mobile device. Follow Ledger Live setup instructions for initializing the wallet, creating a PIN, and generating a secure 24-word recovery phrase.
Set a strong PIN for device access. The 24-word recovery phrase is your ultimate key; store it offline in a secure location. Never share it digitally. Losing this phrase means permanent loss of crypto assets.
Ledger Live allows account monitoring, transaction execution, and firmware updates. Always download from official sources. Confirm every transaction using your hardware device to prevent unauthorized access.
Firmware updates are critical for security. Ledger Live guides you through official updates. Avoid unofficial software or tampered devices. Inspect the device physically for any tampering before setup.
Ledger Hardware Wallets provide unparalleled security for digital assets. Using Ledger Live alongside hardware devices, strong PINs, and offline backups ensures maximum protection in a constantly evolving crypto landscape.
