Ledger® Live Wallet – Getting Started™

Welcome to the official Ledger Live Wallet Getting Started™ guide. Whether you are new to cryptocurrency or an experienced investor, Ledger Live provides a secure and intuitive way to manage your digital assets. This guide will walk you through the process of downloading Ledger Live, connecting your Ledger hardware wallet, and safely managing your crypto portfolio.

What is Ledger Live?

Ledger Live is the official companion app for Ledger hardware wallets, such as the Ledger Nano S Plus and Ledger Nano X. It allows you to buy, sell, swap, stake, and track your crypto all in one place, while keeping your private keys secured offline on your Ledger device.

Step 1: Download Ledger Live

To begin, go to theofficial Ledger.com/start page. From there, download the Ledger Live application for your operating system:

• Windows, macOS, and Linux (desktop)
• iOS and Android (mobile)

Always download Ledger Live from the official website to avoid fake apps or malware.

Step 2: Install and Launch the App

After downloading, install the Ledger Live app on your device. Launch it and follow the on-screen instructions to get started. You will be asked whether you want to set up a new device or restore an existing wallet.

Step 3: Connect Your Ledger Device

Plug in your Ledger Nano S Plus or Nano X using the provided USB cable (or Bluetooth for Nano X). Once connected, Ledger Live will automatically detect your device and guide you through the initialization process.

Step 4: Set Up Your Wallet

When setting up for the first time, you will:

• Create a PIN code to secure access to your device.
• Write down your 24-word recovery phrase on the recovery sheet provided in the box.
• Confirm your recovery phrase directly on your device to complete the setup.

Keep your recovery phrase safe and offline — it is the only backup to recover your wallet. Never share it with anyone, and never enter it on a website or computer.

Step 5: Add Crypto Accounts

Once your Ledger device is set up, open Ledger Live and add accounts for the cryptocurrencies you want to manage. Ledger supports Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Litecoin, and thousands of other assets. Each account is fully secured by your hardware wallet.

With Ledger Live, you can:

• Send and receive cryptocurrencies securely.
• Buy and exchange assets directly within the app.
• Stake certain tokens to earn rewards.
• Track your entire crypto portfolio in real time.

Security Tips
