Three Steps to Complete Your Setup

STEP 01

Connect & Verify Device

Plug your Ledger into your computer or mobile phone using the certified cable provided. Ledger Live performs an cryptographic check to verify your hardware is authentic and unaltered.

STEP 02

Generate 24-Word Recovery Sheet

Set your custom PIN code on device. Then write down the generated secret recovery phrase on the physical card provided. Keep it completely offline; never photograph or type it into any computer.

STEP 03

Manage, Stake & Transfer

Install blockchain applications via Ledger Live Manager. Add accounts, buy, swap, and stake your digital assets directly with complete ownership backed by our BOLOS operating system.

Military-Grade Secure Element (CC EAL5+)

Unlike software wallets on phones or computers that remain exposed to malware, keyloggers, and phishing breaches, Ledger hardware isolates your private keys completely offline. Every transaction requires physical confirmation on the secure screen of your device, ensuring what you see is what you sign.

When you own your private keys, you truly own your digital assets. Ledger empowers millions of individuals to become their own bank with zero compromises.

Critical Safety Knowledge

Will Ledger customer support ever ask for my 24-word recovery phrase?

Never. Ledger representatives, automated emails, and authentic software updates will under no circumstance ask for your 24 words. Anyone requesting your recovery seed is an imposter attempting to steal your funds.


What happens if I lose or damage my Ledger physical device?

Your crypto assets do not live inside the physical plastic stick; they remain securely registered on their respective blockchains. As long as you possess your written 24-word recovery phrase, you can restore your complete wallet on any replacement device.


How do I ensure the Ledger device arrived uncompromised?

Ledger devices use cryptographic attestation rather than tamper-evident tape stickers which are easily counterfeited. During your initial setup in Ledger Live, our root authority cryptographically validates the internal Secure Element chip to ensure it has never been opened or reprogrammed.
