Welcome to the official guide for getting started with your Ledger Wallet. This page explains everything you need to know about setup, protection, and long-term crypto security — presented in a modern, easy-to-read format.
Ledger Wallet is a hardware-based security solution designed to store cryptographic private keys offline. Unlike software wallets, a Ledger device isolates sensitive data from internet-connected environments, significantly reducing exposure to cyber threats.
Private keys remain securely stored within the device, never leaving the protected hardware environment.
Ledger supports thousands of digital assets and integrates with multiple blockchain ecosystems.
The secure chip inside Ledger wallets is certified and designed to withstand physical and digital attacks.
When you receive your Ledger hardware wallet, inspect the packaging carefully. A genuine Ledger device is shipped without any pre-configured information, ensuring that you remain the sole owner from day one.
The setup process is designed to be intuitive, even for beginners. During initialization, the device generates cryptographic keys internally, ensuring maximum security.
Connect your Ledger wallet to a computer or supported mobile device using the provided cable.
Set a unique PIN code that protects your device against unauthorized physical access.
Carefully write down your recovery phrase and store it in a secure offline location.
