Ledger.com/start provides a straightforward starting point for setting up a Ledger hardware wallet and downloading the Ledger Wallet application. The most important part of the process isn't simply installing the application—it's maintaining good security practices throughout the setup and future use.
Always use official Ledger resources, protect your Secret Recovery Phrase, keep your PIN private, and carefully verify transactions before approving them.
After your Ledger device has been configured, you can use Ledger Wallet to install applications for supported cryptocurrencies.
For example, depending on current compatibility, you may install apps associated with assets such as Bitcoin or Ethereum.
A typical process is:
Open Ledger Wallet.
Connect and unlock your Ledger device.
Open the My Ledger section.
Find the cryptocurrency application you need.
Select the installation option.
Wait for the installation to finish.
Add the corresponding cryptocurrency account.
