Start Your Secure JourneyIn a digital world where threats evolve every day, storing cryptocurrencies online or on exchanges exposes you to security risks that can be catastrophic. Ledger® hardware wallets bring your private keys offline, ensuring that they are never exposed to the internet and remain under *your* control.
As part of a trusted ecosystem, Ledger® combines robust hardware protection with intuitive software tools like Ledger Live, giving users the best of both security and convenience.

The first step is to get the official Ledger Live app. It’s available for desktop and mobile. Always download from the official source to avoid malicious copies.
Connect your Ledger® hardware device to your computer or phone and follow the guided setup in Ledger Live. Create a secure PIN and write down your recovery phrase. This phrase is the only backup of your funds.
Once setup is complete, open Ledger Live and login using your device. Ledger Live Desktop and mobile interfaces let you manage your portfolio, send/receive assets, check balances, and install supported app extensions.
