1. Getting Ready
To begin your ledger start, gather your device, USB cable, and a secure environment. Avoid public Wi-Fi and ensure your computer’s antivirus is updated.
2. Visit the Official Ledger Site
Only download Ledger Live or setup tools from ledger.com/start. Any other website or ad could lead to phishing or malware.
3. Connect and Initialize
- Plug your Ledger device into your computer.
- Follow the prompts to install firmware.
- Create a PIN code (keep it secret).
- Write down your recovery phrase on paper — never store it online.
4. Verify Everything
Before proceeding with transactions, confirm the device authenticity via the official Ledger Live app and update firmware if needed.
🔒 Pro Tip: Treat your 24-word seed like a master key — whoever has it controls your assets!
