A LITTLE PREP GOES A LONG WAY
Three calm steps
to get started. ☀️
Take your time. Follow the instructions shown on Ledger's official website and in the official app for your specific device.
02💻
Visit the real site
Type ledger.com/start yourself or use the button above. Check the domain carefully—lookalike links can be tricky.
CHECK THE ADDRESS03📝
Follow device prompts
Install only the official Ledger app, then follow the on-screen setup instructions. Your recovery phrase belongs offline, never online.
GO AT YOUR PACETHE GOLDEN RULE
Your recovery phrase
is for you alone.
Your 24-word recovery phrase can restore access to your crypto. Anyone who gets it may be able to access your assets. Keep it private and offline—never type it into a website, share it in a message, or give it to someone claiming to be support.
✓ Write it down offline
✓ Never share it with anyone
✓ Ignore urgent “support” DMs
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Good to know. 💡
Small reminders for a more confident first setup.
Is this the official Ledger setup page?
No. This is an independent educational guide and is not affiliated with Ledger. For official setup, use ledger.com/start.
Should anyone ask me for my recovery phrase?
No. Never share or enter your recovery phrase online—even if a message or website claims it is required to verify, sync, or secure your wallet.
What if something looks different?
Pause before connecting or approving anything. Check Ledger's official help center by navigating to its website directly, rather than following an unexpected link.
