Follow this step-by-step guide to set up your Ledger Live Wallet
Download the Ledger Live app on your computer or smartphone. Always ensure that you’re using the official application from Ledger’s verified source.
Plug in your Ledger Nano X, Nano S Plus, or Ledger Stax. The app will automatically detect your device and begin synchronization.
Follow on-screen prompts to create a new wallet or restore one using your 24-word recovery phrase. Store this phrase offline in a safe, private location.
In Ledger Live Wallet, navigate to the “Manager” section and install apps for the cryptocurrencies you plan to manage.
Create accounts for each coin. You can view balances, send, and receive funds securely with hardware-level confirmation for each transaction.
Never share your recovery phrase or enter it on any website or mobile application. Your Ledger® Live Wallet ensures safety only when your recovery phrase remains offline and private.
Built to protect your assets from every angle
Security is the foundation of Ledger Live Wallet. It operates on the principle that your private keys never leave your Ledger hardware wallet, even when you interact with external apps. Ledger uses Secure Element (SE) chips — similar to those in passports and credit cards — providing advanced protection from both physical and online attacks.
Every transaction must be confirmed on the device screen, ensuring you stay in control. Combined with regular firmware updates and transparency through open-source software, Ledger Live Wallet sets an industry benchmark in digital asset safety.
