How to Initialize Your Ledger Wallet
Begin by connecting your Ledger Nano to your computer or mobile device using the provided cable. Head over to Ledger.com/Start and install Ledger Live — the official application for managing crypto assets. Once installed, choose to “Set up a new device” or “Restore from recovery phrase.” The guided process ensures that every step is secure and verified.
Next, you’ll be prompted to create a PIN code. Use a unique, private combination, as it protects your wallet from unauthorized access. You’ll then see your 24-word recovery phrase — your backup key. Write it down on paper, never save it digitally, and store it somewhere safe. This phrase can restore your funds if your Ledger device is ever lost or damaged.
Why Ledger Stands Apart
Ledger devices use a secure element chip — the same technology trusted by passports and credit cards — to keep your keys isolated from the internet. Every transaction must be confirmed directly on your Ledger device, ensuring no malware or third-party can compromise your funds.
With Ledger Live, you can manage Bitcoin, Ethereum, and thousands of tokens all in one place. You can also buy, swap, stake, and grow your portfolio without leaving the safety of your hardware wallet. It’s the perfect blend of convenience and control for anyone serious about crypto security.
