To get started, unbox your Ledger Nano device, connect it to your computer or smartphone, and follow the simple on-screen setup instructions.

First, install the Ledger Live application — your all-in-one platform to manage crypto portfolios. During setup, create a new wallet or restore an existing one using your 24-word recovery phrase. This phrase is your ultimate key to access your funds. Never share it online, photograph it, or store it digitally. Always keep it written and secure in an offline place.

With Ledger Live, you can buy, send, receive, and stake over 5,500 crypto assets — all within a single secure environment. Every transaction is verified directly on your device’s screen to prevent tampering.
