🚀 Welcome to Ledger Start – Your Crypto Journey Begins Here!

Whether you're brand new to crypto or a seasoned investor, you've just taken the most important step toward securing your digital assets. 🎉 Your Ledger device is more than just a wallet—it's your personal key to financial freedom. At Ledger, we believe that ownership starts with security. This page will guide you through setting up your Ledger device from the very first unboxing to managing your crypto with confidence. Let’s get started! 📦 Step 1: Unbox Your Ledger Device When you receive your Ledger device (Ledger Nano S Plus or Ledger Nano X), make sure the box is sealed and contains: 1 Ledger hardware wallet 1 USB cable (for charging and connecting to your computer) 3 Recovery sheets 1 Getting Started card Keychain accessories and stickers (🎁 bonus!) Important: If your device was already initialized or the seal was broken, do not use it. Contact Ledger Support immediately. 🔐 Step 2: Download Ledger Live – Your Secure Crypto Companion Ledger Live is the official app that allows you to manage your crypto securely. It’s available on desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux) and mobile (iOS and Android). ➡️ Download here: ledger.com/ledger-live Once installed, open the app and click "Get Started." Select your device model and follow the step-by-step instructions on screen. 🔑 Step 3: Set Up and Secure Your Device Time to power up your Ledger device! Follow these steps: Connect your device to your computer or mobile via USB or Bluetooth (Nano X). Choose a PIN code (4 to 8 digits). This PIN unlocks your device. Write down your recovery phrase – this is the most important step. Your Ledger will display a unique 24-word phrase. Write it on the recovery sheet, in the correct order. ⚠️ Never share your recovery phrase. Ledger will never ask for it—not by email, phone, or chat. Anyone with this phrase can access your funds. 🛡️ Step 4: Confirm Your Recovery Phrase For extra security, your device will ask you to confirm some of the words in your 24-word phrase. This ensures you’ve written it down correctly. Take your time. Accuracy here is critical. Once confirmed, your device is ready to use! 🎉 📲 Step 5: Pair with Ledger Live Now that your device is secure, go back to the Ledger Live app: Click "Connect your device." Follow the on-screen instructions to allow Ledger Live to recognize your device. Once connected, you can: Add accounts (Bitcoin, Ethereum, and more) Send and receive crypto Install apps for different blockchains View your portfolio 🧠 Step 6: Learn the Basics of Self-Custody Understanding how crypto wallets work is essential. Here are a few key tips: Ledger = cold storage. Your private keys never leave the device. Ledger Live = interface. It lets you manage crypto securely. Recovery phrase = ownership. If your device is lost or damaged, the 24-word phrase can recover everything. 💡 Pro Tip: Store your recovery phrase offline in a fireproof safe. Consider using Ledger’s Cryptosteel Capsule for maximum protection. 💰 Step 7: Add Your First Crypto Assets You’re ready to receive crypto! Here’s how: In Ledger Live, click “Receive” Select the crypto (e.g., BTC or ETH) Verify the address on your Ledger device screen Copy the address and share it with the sender or exchange ✅ Always double-check the address on the device screen, not just the app. This ensures you're not being tricked by malware. 🔄 Bonus: Explore Advanced Features Now that you’re set up, you can explore what Ledger has to offer: Buy crypto directly in Ledger Live via partners like MoonPay and Ramp Swap assets across chains using decentralized exchange integrations Grow your assets by staking coins like Ethereum, Polkadot, and Tezos Use Web3 apps with Ledger’s browser extension and Ledger Live’s Discover section 🧩 The crypto world is huge—and your Ledger is the safest gateway to it. 🆘 Need Help?
