[PURPLE TITLE FONT] Step 2 — Unboxing & Authenticity Check

This is a crucial step. Ledger has made authenticity verification simple.

[RED BOLD] WARNING:

Never buy Ledger from unverified marketplaces.
Only from the official Ledger website, official stores, or authorized partners.

Your box should contain:

  • Ledger hardware wallet

  • USB cable

  • Recovery sheet

  • Quick start manual

  • Seals with official branding

The official Ledger Live app will verify the security element chip.

[PURPLE TITLE FONT] Step 3 — Connect & Download Ledger Live (Official App)

[GREEN SMOOTH BACKGROUND] Success Step:

Go to your computer or mobile device and download the official Ledger Live application.

Ledger Live lets you:

  • Track crypto balances in real-time

  • Exchange and buy crypto

  • Stake tokens for rewards

  • Manage hundreds of coins

  • Connect your device securely

[BLUE GRADIENT TEXT] Tip:

[PURPLE TITLE FONT] Step 4 — Initialize Your Ledger Device

Here comes the most important part of your security journey.

[ORANGE SOFT GLOW FONT] Your device will ask you to set:

  • A PIN (4–8 digits)

  • A 24-word official recovery phrase

The recovery phrase is the private key to all your digital assets.

[RED BOLD] SECURITY WARNING:

  • Never store your recovery phrase digitally.

  • Never share it with anyone.

  • Ledger will never ask for your 24 words — not even the official support team.

The 24-word sheet should be written manually on paper.

  • Polygon

  • XRP

  • Solana

  • Litecoin

  • Cardano

  • Dogecoin

  • 5000+ supported assets

Each coin has its own official blockchain network, so Ledger Live installs the needed apps automatically.

[PURPLE TITLE FONT] Step 6 — Transfer Crypto to Your Ledger Wallet

[GREEN SMOOTH BACKGROUND] Steps to Receive Crypto:

  1. Open Ledger Live

  2. Select “Receive”

  3. Choose asset (e.g., BTC, ETH)

  4. Verify address on the official Ledger device screen

  5. Confirm it matches the address shown in Ledger Live
