🚀 Getting Started With Ledger® Live

🧰 Step 1: Set Up Your Ledger Device

Before using Ledger Live, you must initialize your Ledger device. Here’s how:

Unbox your Ledger wallet.
Confirm the security seal is intact and that the device hasn’t been tampered with.
Power on your device and choose “Set up as new device.”
Create a secure PIN code.
This adds a basic layer of protection in case of theft or loss.
Write down your 24-word recovery phrase.
⚠️ This is your backup key! Never share or store it online.

💻 Step 2: Download Ledger Live

Visit the official website:
👉 https://www.ledger.com/ledger-live

Choose the correct version for your device. Only download from the official website to avoid scams or malware.

🔗 Step 3: Connect and Authenticate Your Device

Open Ledger Live and choose “Get Started.”
Select your Ledger model.
Follow the prompts to connect your device via USB or Bluetooth.
Ledger Live will verify your device’s authenticity and check for firmware updates.

🧩 Step 4: Install Crypto Apps

Use the “My Ledger” tab in Ledger Live to install apps like:

Bitcoin (BTC)
Ethereum (ETH)
Solana (SOL)
Polkadot (DOT)

Your device can store multiple apps, but storage is limited—apps can be reinstalled without affecting your assets.

🏦 Step 5: Add Crypto Accounts

After installing apps:

Go to Accounts > Add Account
Choose the crypto you want to manage
Verify and approve the request on your Ledger device

Now, you can send, receive, and monitor your assets.
