Why Secure Your Crypto with Ledger?

Every crypto investor knows that owning digital assets means taking responsibility for them. Leaving your funds on an exchange exposes them to hacks and third-party risks. Ledger solves this by giving you complete control: your private keys are stored offline in a secure hardware wallet.

Built with a Secure Element chip—the same technology trusted in passports—Ledger devices keep your funds isolated from online threats. Combined with the Ledger Live app, you can easily manage, buy, sell, and grow your crypto, all from one intuitive dashboard.

Follow These 3 Easy Steps

1

Go to Ledger.com/Start

Visit the official setup page at Ledger.com/Start. This is the only safe place to begin your Ledger journey. Avoid unofficial sites or third-party downloads to ensure your wallet’s integrity.

2

Set Up Your Device

Connect your Ledger Nano device to your computer or mobile phone. Create a strong PIN code and write down your 24-word recovery phrase securely on paper. This phrase is the only key to restoring your wallet if your device is lost or damaged.

3

Install Ledger Live

Download the official Ledger Live app to manage all your cryptocurrencies in one place. Add accounts, check balances, and stake assets directly from your dashboard — always verified on your device screen.
