A BETTER WAY TO BEGIN
Welcome to
self-custody.
Welcome to a more intentional way to manage your digital assets. Ledger gives you the tools to take ownership of your crypto, with a hardware wallet designed to keep your private keys offline and under your control. Getting started is straightforward: connect your device, follow the instructions in Ledger Wallet, and choose a PIN that only you know.
Your recovery phrase is the master backup to your wallet. Write each word carefully on the recovery sheets provided, check the order, and keep the finished phrase private in a secure place offline. Never share it with anyone—not even someone claiming to be Ledger Support. Ledger will never ask for it. Your device will guide you through confirming your phrase before you continue.
Once setup is complete, explore Ledger Wallet to view supported assets, connect to apps, and manage transactions. Take time to review every transaction on your device screen before approving it. You remain in control at every step. The Ledger start guide helps you begin with clear instructions and practical security habits, so you can build confidence as you explore the world of digital assets. Start with the official setup, stay curious, and make self-custody yours today.
