Step-by-Step Ledger Setup Instructions

Upon opening Ledger Live, choose either to create a new wallet or restore an existing one. If creating a new wallet, the device will generate a 24-word recovery phrase. This phrase is your only backup in case your device is lost or damaged. Write it down carefully and store it securely offline.

After securing your recovery phrase, set a PIN for your device. This adds a critical layer of security every time you unlock your Ledger wallet. Optional passphrase protection provides extra privacy, protecting your assets from unauthorized access.

With your Ledger wallet initialized, you can add cryptocurrency accounts, send and receive tokens, and manage your holdings through Ledger Live. The platform provides real-time portfolio monitoring, firmware updates, and secure transaction signing to safeguard your digital assets.
