Welcome to Ledger, the leading platform for safeguarding your cryptocurrencies. To begin your journey with Ledger, follow these simple steps to ensure your digital assets are protected with top-notch security.
Step 1: Visit Ledger Start
Navigate to www.ledger.com/start. This page is your gateway to setting up your Ledger device, whether it's the Ledger Nano S Plus, Nano X, or any other model. Ensure you have your Ledger device, a computer, and an internet connection ready.
Step 2: Install Ledger Live
Download and install Ledger Live, the official app for managing your Ledger device. Ledger Live is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. This application allows you to set up your device, manage your accounts, and access a wide range of services securely.
Step 3: Set Up Your Device
Connect your Ledger device to your computer using the provided USB cable. Follow the on-screen instructions in Ledger Live to initialize your device. You'll be prompted to choose a PIN code and write down your recovery phrase. This recovery phrase is crucial as it is the only backup of your private keys. Store it securely offline, and never share it with anyone.
Step 4: Add Your Accounts
Once your device is set up, you can add cryptocurrency accounts. In Ledger Live, navigate to the "Accounts" section and click "Add Account." Select the cryptocurrency you wish to manage and follow the prompts to synchronize your device with Ledger Live. You can add multiple accounts for different cryptocurrencies.
Step 5: Manage and Secure Your Assets
With your accounts added, you can now manage your crypto assets. Ledger Live allows you to send and receive cryptocurrencies, check your balance, and track your portfolio. Regularly update Ledger Live and your device’s firmware to benefit from the latest security features.
