Next-Gen Crypto Security

Welcome to Ledger's official hardware wallet setup platform, where cutting-edge security meets intuitive cryptocurrency management. Our hardware wallets represent the pinnacle of digital asset protection, featuring military-grade secure element chips combined with our proprietary BOLOS operating system. This powerful architecture ensures your private keys remain completely isolated from internet-connected devices, providing fortress-like security against evolving cyber threats.

Begin your security journey by unboxing your Ledger device and establishing a secure connection to your computer or mobile platform. Download Ledger Live, our comprehensive application suite that serves as your command center for portfolio management, transaction verification, and application deployment. The streamlined interface ensures both beginners and experts can achieve enterprise-level security standards with ease.

Device initialization commences with configuring your unique PIN code – the first physical barrier against unauthorized access. This PIN should be memorized and never digitally recorded. Following PIN setup, you'll generate your 24-word recovery phrase, the master key governing access to your entire cryptocurrency portfolio. This critical phrase must be handwritten on the provided stainless steel recovery sheet and stored in multiple secure, geographically dispersed locations.

Through Ledger Live, access dedicated applications for over 5,500 cryptocurrencies, manage complex DeFi interactions, stake various proof-of-stake assets, and participate in governance proposals – all while maintaining absolute security. Regular firmware updates ensure your device remains protected against emerging threats, with automatic security patch deployment and vulnerability mitigation.
