👋 Welcome to Ledger®

Congratulations on purchasing your Ledger hardware wallet! Whether it's the Ledger Nano X or Nano S Plus, this guide walks you through setting up your device securely. Ledger wallets keep your private keys offline, ensuring complete control over your crypto assets.

📦 Step 1: Unbox & Verify

In your Ledger package, you should find:

Ledger Nano X or Nano S Plus device
USB cable
Recovery sheet (for writing your seed)
Instruction booklet and stickers

⚠️ Important: Do NOT use a device that was pre-configured or came with a seed phrase. Only you should create the recovery seed yourself.

🔗 Step 2: Go to the Official Site

Connect your device to your computer and visit the official onboarding page: 👉 https://www.ledger.com/start

You’ll be guided to download the Ledger Live® app — the official software used to manage your Ledger device and crypto portfolio.

💾 Step 3: Install Ledger Live®

Choose your OS (Windows, macOS, or Linux) and install Ledger Live. Once installed, launch the app and select "Get Started."

Follow the instructions to set up as a new user or restore an existing wallet.

✅ Tip: Always keep Ledger Live updated to get the latest security improvements and asset support.

🔐 Step 4: Set Up Your Device

You’ll now go through the following steps on your device:

Create a secure PIN (4-8 digits)
Write down your 24-word recovery phrase on the provided sheet
Confirm the words back to the device in the correct order

🛑 Never share your recovery phrase. Ledger will never ask for it.

📁 Step 5: Install Apps & Add Accounts

With Ledger Live open and your device connected, go to “Manager” to install apps (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum) onto your device.

After installing, go to “Accounts” and add crypto accounts. Each app corresponds to a blockchain network.

💸 Step 6: Receive & Send Crypto

To receive crypto:

Select the account (e.g., Bitcoin)
Click "Receive" and verify the address on your device
Copy or scan the address to share with the sender

To send crypto, select “Send”, enter the recipient’s address and amount, confirm the transaction on your Ledger device.

🛡️ Step 7: Secure & Maintain

Your recovery phrase is the only backup of your wallet. Store it safely offline — not on your phone or computer.

Additional tips:

Enable password lock on Ledger Live
Set up hidden wallets with passphrases (advanced)
Use a fireproof seed backup (metal backup)

🎯 Final Thoughts

You now have a secure and working Ledger device! With your private keys offline and backups properly stored, your crypto assets are safe from hacks and online threats.
