START WITH THE BASICS01 / 03

THE GOOD-TO-KNOWS

Three things worth
knowing first.

Self-custody is a new kind of responsibility. Get to know the basics before you connect.

01 / OWNERSHIP

Your recovery phrase
is the master key.

It can restore access to your wallet. Write it down offline and keep it somewhere private and secure.

Learn the safety basics
02 / VERIFICATION

Check what’s
on your screen.

Take a moment to verify important details on your device itself before approving any action.

03 / YOUR PACE

There’s no rush
to do everything.

Start with setup and security. Explore apps and features only when you’re ready to use them.

YOUR FIRST SETUP

Four steps.
One steady start.

Follow the official instructions for your device model. This overview is a helpful orientation—not a replacement for the on-screen guide.

Open the official setup
01

Go to the official start page

Type ledger.com/start directly into your browser, and check the address carefully.

02

Install the companion app

Use the download link from Ledger’s official website—not a link from an unsolicited message.

03

Initialize your device

Follow the instructions on the device and in the official app. Choose a PIN you can remember.

04

Back up your recovery phrase

Record it offline, in order, and store it securely. Never photograph, type, or share it online.

A REALLY IMPORTANT REMINDER

Your 24 words
belong to you alone.

No legitimate support agent needs your recovery phrase. Anyone who gets it may be able to access your crypto. Keep it private and offline—always.

Learn more about staying safe

01 Never enter your phrase on a website.

02 Never share it with anyone—not even “support.”

03 Verify the website address before you connect.
