Private Key Security
Keys stay inside the device.
Multi-Asset Support
Bitcoin, Ethereum, and thousands of other tokens.
Recovery Seed
Securely restore your wallet if lost.
Regular Updates
Firmware and apps updated safely on-device.

Quick Start Checklist

  1. Unbox your Ledger and connect it to your computer or mobile device.
  2. Follow on-device instructions to set up a PIN and recovery seed.
  3. Install the apps for the coins you want to manage.
  4. Test transactions safely with a small amount before regular use.
  5. 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.
