Official Ledger Wallet Setup Instructions

Start by visiting Ledger.com/Start on your browser and downloading the latest version of Ledger Live, the official management app for your Ledger device. Once installed, connect your Ledger Nano X or Nano S Plus via USB or Bluetooth and follow the on-screen prompts.

During the process, you’ll receive a 24-word recovery phrase — this is your ultimate backup. Write it down carefully and keep it offline, away from cameras, screenshots, or cloud storage. Never share it with anyone; anyone who knows it can access your crypto.
