A concise, presentation-style guide for a quick start with Ledger Live. This document uses semantic headings (H1–H5), clear sections, and ten official links to Ledger resources for further reading.
Ledger Live is the official desktop and mobile application provided by Ledger to manage hardware wallets, check balances, send and receive supported cryptocurrencies, and interact with DeFi and NFT features. This guide helps you log in, set up, secure your device, and find official resources quickly.
Never enter your 24-word recovery phrase into a computer, website, or app. Ledger Live will never request your recovery phrase. If an interface asks for it, treat it as a scam.
Download Ledger Live only from the official site or trusted app stores. Use the links section below for direct official downloads and support pages.
Visit the official Ledger Live download page to get the latest desktop or mobile installer. Always verify the domain is ledger.com and check the digital certificate if you are unsure.
Use the USB or Bluetooth connection to attach your Ledger hardware to your computer or mobile. Unlock it with your PIN when prompted.
When Ledger Live launches, follow the in-app prompts to either set up a new device (create PIN + recovery phrase) or restore an existing wallet (use your recovery phrase only on the hardware device when prompted).
Ledger Live itself functions as an interface — the private keys remain on the hardware device. "Logging in" to Ledger Live only unlocks the application; the device authorizes transactions.
Remove the device from your computer, visit official support pages to verify device authenticity, and consider moving assets to a new wallet if you believe the recovery phrase was exposed.
Below are ten official Ledger pages you can use for downloads, support, guides, and brand resources. Click any link to open the official site.
These links point to official Ledger properties and are the safest starting points for downloads, troubleshooting, and learning. Use them whenever you need authoritative guidance.
For slides: keep each H2/H3 as a slide title and move the supporting H4/H5 points onto speaker notes. Use Ledger brand colors sparingly: the Safety Orange (#FF5300) for CTA accents and the dark blue (#142533) for headings.
Use sufficient contrast for text, avoid tiny fonts, and include alt text for screenshots. When printing, choose high-contrast grayscale or a single accent color to preserve readability.
