Getting Started with Ledger Live

The first step in your Ledger journey is installing Ledger Live, the intuitive desktop and mobile application for managing your cryptocurrencies. Ledger Live supports Multi-Currency Support and allows you to connect your device to monitor balances, send and receive crypto safely.

Secure Your Assets with Secure Element and BOLOS

Ledger wallets come with a certified Secure Element chip that stores private keys in a protected environment. Combined with BOLOS (Blockchain Open Ledger Operating System), your funds remain safe from malware and unauthorized access.

Setting Up Your Ledger Nano X and Ledger Nano S Plus

Both Ledger Nano X and Ledger Nano S Plus offer easy setup. Follow these steps:

  1. Download and install Ledger Live from ledger.com/start.
  2. Connect your Ledger device via USB or Bluetooth Connectivity (Nano X only).
  3. Initialize your device and securely write down your Recovery Phrase.
  4. Install apps for the cryptocurrencies you want to manage.

Recovery Phrase: Your Key to Security

The Recovery Phrase is a 24-word seed that allows you to restore your wallet if lost or stolen. Never share it with anyone, and store it safely offline.

Bluetooth Connectivity for Ledger Nano X

One of the key features of the Ledger Nano X is Bluetooth Connectivity, enabling seamless mobile management without USB connections. Pair your device securely with Ledger Live mobile app to enjoy on-the-go access.

Multi-Currency and DeFi Integration

Ledger wallets support Multi-Currency Support, allowing you to manage Bitcoin, Ethereum, and over 5,500 other crypto assets. With DeFi Integration, you can safely connect to decentralized applications directly via Ledger Live or supported interfaces.

NFT Support and Digital Collectibles

Ledger wallets now provide NFT Support, enabling you to securely store, view, and manage your non-fungible tokens. Ledger Live makes NFT management simple and secure without exposing private keys.

Keeping Your Ledger Up to Date

Regular Firmware Updates are essential to ensure the latest security patches and new features. Ledger Live will notify you when an update is available, keeping your device safe and up-to-date.

Ledger Recover: Extra Peace of Mind
