Why Begin the Right Way?
First impressions matter—even in crypto. Starting correctly ensures your wallet is genuine, your recovery phrase is safe, and your apps are installed from the right place. Skipping the official process leaves room for mistakes, which could cost you dearly.
Simple Steps to Follow
- Head to the right page: Always use the official onboarding portal.
- Install Ledger Live: The companion app for managing accounts and updates.
- Set up your wallet: Create a PIN and generate a recovery phrase directly on the device.
- Write down your words: Keep your recovery phrase offline, safe, and private.
- Manage safely: Add accounts, send or receive, and confirm every action on your device screen.
Stay Secure Beyond Setup
- Update apps and firmware regularly.
- Double-check every address on the wallet screen.
- Keep your phrase in at least two secure, separate places.
- Ignore anyone asking for your 24 words—support will never request it.
Avoiding Red Flags
Fake sites, urgent popups, and “support agents” asking for your phrase are always scams. Protect yourself by trusting only the onboarding instructions and confirming everything on your device screen.
