Official Setup Process
To begin, connect your Ledger Nano device to your computer using the USB cable provided. Visit Ledger.com/Start to download Ledger Live — the official application for managing your portfolio. Follow the on-screen steps to initialize your device, set a PIN code, and write down your 24-word recovery phrase. This phrase is the key to restoring your assets if your device is lost or damaged, so store it securely offline.
Once your wallet is initialized, open Ledger Live to install the apps for the cryptocurrencies you wish to manage. The interface allows you to send, receive, and track coins seamlessly while keeping your private keys protected inside the hardware. Ledger’s secure element chip ensures your keys never leave your device, shielding you from malware and phishing attempts.
