Head to Ledger.com/start from your computer or smartphone. Download the official Ledger Live app — your all-in-one crypto dashboard. It’s compatible with Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. The app manages your portfolio, installs apps on your device, and lets you buy, sell, and grow crypto with absolute security.
Connect your Ledger device via USB or Bluetooth (depending on model). Choose “Initialize” and set a strong PIN code (4 to 8 digits). Your PIN protects the device against unauthorized use. Then, write down your 24-word recovery phrase on the included recovery sheet — this is your ultimate backup. Never share it digitally and store it like gold.
In Ledger Live, navigate to “Manager” and install the apps for the cryptocurrencies you own (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and many more). After installation, create corresponding accounts. The private keys never leave your device: all transactions must be physically confirmed on your Ledger’s secure touchscreen. This is the heart of Clear Signing™ — you always see and verify every detail.
Once your accounts are set, you’re ready. Receive crypto by sharing your public address, swap assets directly inside Ledger Live, or stake coins to earn rewards — all while your private keys remain offline. The Ledger ecosystem is designed to make self-custody simple yet unbreakable, giving you complete sovereignty over your digital wealth.
