Get Started with Ledger Live — Redesigned
Follow this modern onboarding flow to initialize your Ledger device, create a secure recovery backup, install blockchain apps and add accounts — all in a few focused steps.
Check the packaging, tamper seals and included accessories. Only use Ledger Live from the official site and never from untrusted sources.
Plug your device into your computer or pair via Bluetooth (model dependent). Download Ledger Live and follow the secure prompts to begin setup.
Set a PIN on-device and write down the 24-word recovery phrase exactly as shown. Store it offline in a safe, private location.
Use Ledger Live Manager to install specific blockchain apps (Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.) and add accounts to view addresses and manage funds.
Always verify destination addresses on your Ledger device before confirming transactions — the device shows the exact address it will sign for.
