Ledger never ships pre-initialized wallets. If you find pre-filled recovery words or see signs of tampering, contact Ledger Support immediately.
Ledger Live is your control center — it connects your wallet to your computer or smartphone, allowing you to install coin apps, manage accounts, and view your portfolio securely.
After connecting your device, you’ll create a personal PIN (4–8 digits). Then your Ledger will display a unique 24-word recovery phrase — this is the master key to your wallet.
This phrase is your lifeline — if your device is lost or destroyed, you can recover all assets using it on a new Ledger.
Every blockchain requires its own app on your Ledger. Open Ledger Live → My Ledger to install Bitcoin, Ethereum, or any other supported network.
Then go to Accounts → Add Account to sync wallets and start viewing your balances. Ledger Live lets you manage your entire portfolio — all verified and signed by your device.
Once setup is complete, transfer your funds from exchanges or hot wallets into your Ledger. Verify every transaction’s recipient address directly on your device screen before confirming.
This extra verification step ensures complete safety — even if your computer is compromised.
