Step 1 — Download Ledger Live
To begin, go to the official Ledger website at ledger.com/ledger-live and download the version compatible with your device — Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, or Android. Always verify that you’re on the official site before downloading to protect your funds from phishing risks.
Step 2 — Install & Connect
Once installed, launch the app and connect your Ledger Nano X or Ledger Nano S Plus via USB or Bluetooth. The Ledger Live setup wizard will guide you through initialization or restoration of your wallet using your 24-word recovery phrase. This phrase is your only backup — keep it offline and never share it.
Step 3 — Add Crypto Accounts
Install the crypto apps you need within Ledger Live — such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Solana — and add corresponding accounts. Each transaction you perform must be confirmed directly on your Ledger device, providing an additional layer of protection against unauthorized actions.
Stake, Earn & Grow
Ledger Live makes staking simple. You can earn rewards by staking coins like Ethereum (ETH), Polkadot (DOT), or Solana (SOL) directly from the app. Your funds always remain under your control, ensuring maximum security and transparency.
Stay Secure with Ledger
Every Ledger device uses a Secure Element chip and Ledger’s proprietary BOLOS operating system to isolate private keys from your computer or mobile device. Ledger Live communicates securely with this hardware, making it one of the safest environments for managing digital assets worldwide.
