Getting Started with a ledger.com/start

A Ledger hardware wallet is a popular and highly secure way to store and manage your cryptocurrencies. Follow these steps to set up your Ledger hardware wallet:

Step 1: Purchase a Ledger Hardware Wallet

Start by purchasing a Ledger hardware wallet from the official Ledger website (https://www.ledger.com) or from an authorized reseller. Ensure that you are buying from a legitimate source to avoid counterfeit products.

Step 2: Unbox Your Ledger Device

Once your Ledger device arrives, carefully unbox it. You should find the Ledger hardware wallet, a USB cable for connecting to your computer, a recovery sheet (to write down your recovery seed), and a few other accessories.

Step 3: Connect Your Ledger Device

Connect your Ledger device to your computer using the provided USB cable. The device should power on when connected.

Step 4: Visit Ledger's Setup Page

Open your web browser and go to Ledger's official setup page at "https://www.ledger.com/start."

Step 5: Install Ledger Live

On the setup page, you will be guided to download and install "Ledger Live." Ledger Live is the official desktop software for managing your Ledger hardware wallet. Follow the instructions on the Ledger website to download and install the appropriate version of Ledger Live for your operating system.

Step 6: Initialize Your Ledger Device

Once Ledger Live is installed, open the application and select the option to set up a new device. Follow the on-screen instructions, which will include:

• Creating a PIN code for your Ledger device.
• Writing down and verifying your 24-word recovery seed. This is a crucial step for recovering your wallet in case of loss or damage, so store it in a safe and secure place. Never share your recovery seed with anyone.
