Why a Ledger hardware wallet? 🛡️

A Ledger hardware wallet stores your private keys offline — away from hackers and phishing attacks. It's one of the safest ways to hold crypto, NFTs, and other digital assets. Think of it as a physical safe for your private keys 🔐.

Before you begin — what you need ✔️

• Your new Ledger device (Nano S, Nano S Plus, Nano X or similar).
• A computer or mobile device with internet access.
• A USB cable or Bluetooth (depending on model).
• A quiet space to write down your recovery phrase — don't take photos. ✍️

Step-by-step: Setup at Ledger.com/start

1. Visit the official site. Open ledger.com/start to ensure you have the latest instructions and official Ledger Live app. ⚠️ Always double-check the URL.
2. Unbox and inspect. Ensure the seal is intact. Follow the printed quick start guide. Contact Ledger support if anything looks tampered with.
3. Connect the device. Plug into your computer or pair via Bluetooth. The device screen guides you through language selection and initial setup. 🖱️
4. Create a PIN code. Choose a secure PIN you can remember — protects the device. Do not store it digitally. 🔑
