When it comes to securing digital assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and thousands of other cryptocurrencies, security is non-negotiable. Ledger devices are designed with a certified secure element and a custom operating system to keep your private keys safe and offline at all times.

Go to the official setup page: Ledger.com/Start. This page will direct you to download the Ledger Live app, available for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.
Your recovery phrase is your only backup. If your device is lost, stolen, or damaged, this phrase is the only way to restore access to your funds. Keep it offline and secure. Never share it online or with anyone else. Ledger will NEVER ask for your 24 words.
Once your device is set up, you can manage your assets using the Ledger Live application. Here's what you can do:
Your account is now ready! You can receive crypto by generating an address and sharing it with the sender (after verifying it on your device).
Ledger Live supports buying crypto directly through partners like MoonPay, Ramp, and Coinify. Your assets are sent straight to your Ledger device’s wallet—eliminating the need for third-party exchanges.
Swap coins like ETH to BTC or USDC directly inside Ledger Live using integrated swap partners. All swaps occur in your control, and you never lose custody of your keys.
