Welcome to Ledger Getting Started Hub
This hub provides clear instructions for new and returning Ledger users. Learn how to initialize your device, install apps, and safely handle your recovery seed.
Why Ledger?
Ledger hardware wallets keep your private keys isolated and secure. Transactions must be confirmed on the device itself, ensuring protection against malware and phishing attacks.
Quick Start Checklist
- Unbox your Ledger and connect it to your computer or mobile device.
- Follow on-device instructions to set up a PIN and recovery seed.
- Install the apps for the coins you want to manage.
- Test transactions safely with a small amount before regular use.
- Store your recovery seed offline in a secure location.
Security Tips
Never share your recovery seed. Always confirm transactions on the device. Keep firmware updated and only use official Ledger software to avoid risks.
