Setting up a Ledger hardware wallet is an essential step toward securing your digital assets.

Step 1 of 6
Unbox and Inspect Your Device
Begin by opening the package and verifying that the device is sealed and untampered. Ledger hardware wallets ship without any preconfigured PIN or recovery phrase. If you find any printed recovery phrase in the box or any sign of prior use, stop immediately—genuine devices require you to generate the recovery phrase yourself during setup.
Security First
Your Ledger device allows you to store cryptocurrencies offline, keeping them safe from online threats. Never share your recovery phrase or PIN with anyone, and always verify you're using official Ledger software.
