Secure Ledger® Wallet
Setup Instructions

Ledger Wallet is a comprehensive cryptocurrency wallet application that works with Ledger hardware devices to provide maximum security for your digital assets. Unlike exchange wallets or software-only solutions, Ledger Wallet ensures your private keys remain offline and secure. The application serves as your interface to manage, send, receive, and track all your cryptocurrencies while your Ledger hardware device keeps your keys safe from online threats.

Getting started is simple and secure. First, visit Ledger.com/start to download the official Ledger Wallet application for your device. Choose your operating system from the available options including Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, or Android. After installation, launch the application and follow the guided setup process. You will create a new wallet, set a secure PIN, and receive a 24-word recovery phrase that you must write down and store securely.

Your recovery phrase, also known as a seed phrase, is a sequence of 24 words that serves as the master key to all your cryptocurrencies. This phrase is generated during your initial wallet setup and allows you to recover your entire wallet if your device is lost, stolen, or damaged. It is critically important to write this phrase down on paper and store it in a secure location, preferably in multiple secure places. Never store your recovery phrase digitally, never share it with anyone, and never enter it into any website or application except when recovering your official Ledger device.

Ledger Wallet supports an extensive range of cryptocurrencies, with compatibility for over 5,500 different coins and tokens. This includes all major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA), XRP, Polkadot (DOT), Litecoin (LTC), and thousands of ERC-20 tokens, BEP-20 tokens, and other blockchain assets. The list of supported assets is constantly expanding as new cryptocurrencies gain adoption and meet Ledger security standards.

Yes, Ledger Wallet is designed with security as the top priority. When used in conjunction with a Ledger hardware wallet, it provides bank-grade security for your digital assets. Your private keys are stored in a secure element chip within the hardware device and never leave the device, making them completely inaccessible to hackers, malware, or online threats. The application itself is regularly audited and updated to maintain the highest security standards. Additionally, all transactions must be physically confirmed on your Ledger hardware device, adding an extra layer of protection against unauthorized access.

Absolutely! Ledger Wallet is available across multiple platforms, allowing you to manage your cryptocurrency portfolio from different devices. You can install the application on your desktop computer (Windows, macOS, or Linux) and on your mobile device (iOS or Android). Your wallet data is secured by your Ledger hardware device and recovery phrase, so you can access your accounts from any device where you have installed the Ledger Wallet application. This flexibility ensures you can manage your crypto assets wherever you are, while maintaining the same high level of security.
