How to Purchase Safely & Start Using

Buy only from the official Ledger store or trusted authorized resellers to avoid tampered units. (Always verify the packaging and seal.)
When unboxing, ensure all accessories are included (USB‑C / cable, recovery cards, instruction). Do not accept pre‑initialized device. Verify authenticity. Ledger Support can guide you.
Go to Ledger.com/Start for the official setup instructions.
Download the Ledger Live app from Ledger’s official site—desktop or mobile, depending on your device.
Initialize the device with a strong PIN, write down the recovery phrase on the provided recovery sheets, and store this phrase in a secure, offline location.
Add your accounts in Ledger Live, install needed apps on the device, and always verify details directly on the device’s display when performing transactions.
Regularly check for firmware updates via Ledger Live and keep the device’s firmware current.
