Three Steps to Uncompromised Security

Follow the structured guide to safely power on, authenticate, and pair your cold wallet device.

1. Connect & Power On

Use the provided USB cable to connect your hardware wallet to your computer or pair via Bluetooth on your mobile phone. Choose a unique 4 to 8 digit PIN code directly on the secure screen.

2. Write Recovery Phrase

Transcribe the 24 words generated by the certified Secure Element chip onto the Recovery Sheet. Never take a photo, type it into any digital device, or share it with anyone under any circumstances.

3. Pair with Ledger Live

Launch the Ledger Live application on desktop or mobile. The genuine cryptographic check will instantly verify that your device is untampered, authentic, and safe for crypto management.

Why Cold Storage Security Matters

Online wallets and crypto exchange platforms hold your private keys on internet-connected databases, leaving funds susceptible to phishing, malware, and platform insolvencies. A Ledger hardware device isolates your keys inside an EAL6+ certified Secure Element chip, making extraction impossible even when connected to an infected computer.
