Welcome to Ledger – Secure Your Crypto Journey

Congratulations on taking the first step toward full control of your digital assets. At Ledger, we believe that owning cryptocurrency means owning your keys. With our hardware wallets and secure ecosystem, you can manage your crypto confidently, knowing that your private keys remain yours—and yours alone.

Whether you’re just starting out or expanding your crypto portfolio, this guide will help you understand the Ledger experience and set up your device safely.

Why Ledger? Security First

Owning crypto is empowering—but only if it’s truly secure. Unlike exchanges or online wallets, Ledger hardware wallets store your private keys offline, away from hackers, malware, and phishing attempts.

Here’s why millions trust Ledger for crypto security:

• Offline Storage: Your private keys never leave the device.
• Secure Element Chip: Ledger devices use certified Secure Element technology, similar to what protects passports and payment cards.
• Full Ownership: You control your crypto. No one else can access it.
• Global Trust: Millions of users worldwide rely on Ledger for secure crypto management.

Ledger simplifies security without compromising control.

Getting Started with Your Ledger Device

Setting up your Ledger device is quick, intuitive, and secure. Follow these steps:

1. Unbox Your Device

Check that your Ledger device arrives sealed and untampered with. Ledger devices are designed to be secure right out of the box. If anything seems altered, stop and contact Ledger support.

2. Install Ledger Live

Ledger Live is the official app for managing your crypto. It allows you to:

• Install apps for different cryptocurrencies
• Send, receive, and track assets
• Buy, sell, swap, and stake supported coins
• Monitor your portfolio in real-time

Always download Ledger Live from ledger.com to ensure you have the authentic app.

3. Initialize Your Device

When powering on your Ledger, you’ll be guided through:

• Creating a secure PIN code
• Generating a 24-word recovery phrase
• Confirming your recovery phrase backup

This process ensures that only you can access your funds.

Your 24-Word Recovery Phrase: Your Master Key

During setup, your Ledger device generates a 24-word recovery phrase, your ultimate key to your crypto.

Important tips:

• Write it down on paper; never store it digitally.
• Keep it in a secure location, separate from your device.
• Never share it with anyone. Ledger will never ask for it.

If your device is lost or damaged, your recovery phrase is the only way to restore access to your assets. Protect it as you would a vault key.

Manage Thousands of Assets

Ledger supports a wide range of cryptocurrencies, tokens, and NFTs. Popular supported assets include Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Polygon (MATIC), and hundreds more.

With Ledger Live and compatible third-party apps, you can:

• Manage multiple accounts in one place
• Interact with decentralized apps (dApps)
• Securely store and manage NFTs
• Stake coins to earn rewards

Ledger is continuously updated to support the evolving crypto ecosystem.

Buy, Sell, Swap, and Stake Safely

Ledger Live is more than a wallet manager—it’s your crypto hub.

Here’s what you can do:

• Buy Crypto: Purchase assets from trusted providers directly in the app.
• Sell Crypto: Convert assets to fiat and withdraw to your bank.
• Swap Assets: Exchange supported tokens without leaving the app.
• Stake Coins: Participate in staking to earn rewards.

All transactions require confirmation on your Ledger device, keeping your private keys offline and protected.

Protection Against Online Threats

Ledger provides a robust security layer between your crypto and the internet.

• Your private keys are stored offline.
• Transactions require physical approval on the device.
• Phishing attempts cannot access your funds.
