THE FIRST THREE THINGS
Set up with confidence.
Follow the official instructions and keep your recovery phrase private. You’re in control at every step.
Set up Ledger Wallet
Install Ledger Wallet from Ledger’s official source, then connect your device by following the in-app setup. Never trust unsolicited download links.
Download only from official sourcesProtect your recovery phrase
Write it down offline and store it somewhere private. Anyone who has your recovery phrase can access your assets—Ledger will never ask you to share it.
Offline storage is safestA NOTE ON SECURITY
Your recovery phrase is yours alone.
Never enter it on a website, share it with support, or store it in a photo or cloud document. If a message asks for your phrase, stop—it isn’t Ledger. Only you should ever have access to it.
GOOD QUESTIONS
Before you begin.
Take a breath. You can always revisit the steps as you go.
What is a recovery phrase?
It’s the private backup to your wallet. Keep it offline, keep it secret, and never share it—not even with someone claiming to be support.
Where should I download Ledger Wallet?
Only download Ledger Wallet through Ledger’s official website or the official app store links provided there. Avoid links in unsolicited messages or ads.
Do I need to rush through setup?
No. Read each instruction on your device and in the official guide carefully. If something feels unexpected, pause and verify it through Ledger’s official support resources.
