Step-by-Step Setup Process

Follow these secure steps to get started with your Ledger device:

Security and Best Practices

Your security begins with responsible setup. Never share or photograph your recovery phrase. Avoid entering it on any online website or unverified platform. Keep it in multiple secure, offline locations to prevent loss or theft.

Ensure that firmware and software are only downloaded from official Ledger sources. This prevents phishing and counterfeit device attacks, ensuring full control over your private keys.
