The Lédger® Nano X is a hardware wallet designed to help users keep private keys protected while managing supported crypto assets. The device can connect with compatible smartphones and desktop computers and works with Ledger's official companion application, currently presented by Ledger as Ledger Wallet, formerly known as Ledger Live.
The Nano X itself is a physical hardware device, so there is no separate “Nano X software download.” Instead, users download the official Ledger companion application and connect their device. Ledger provides official downloads for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.
For desktop installation, visit Ledger's official download page, select the operating system you use, download the application, and follow the installation instructions. After installation, connect your Nano X using the appropriate connection method and follow the on-screen setup instructions.
Start by visiting Ledger's official setup resources. Ledger provides a dedicated Nano X tutorial covering the initial setup process, while its official guides also explain how to pair the device.
During setup, create or restore your wallet according to the instructions displayed by the hardware device. If the device generates a Secret Recovery Phrase, write it down carefully and store it securely offline. Never photograph, email, upload, or type your recovery phrase into a website or online form.
The Nano X includes Bluetooth connectivity for smartphones and USB-C connectivity for desktop and Android use. Ledger lists compatibility with supported iOS and Android devices and compatible 64-bit desktop operating systems.
Once setup is complete, the Ledger companion application can provide an interface for managing supported accounts and assets. Ledger says its application can be used to monitor portfolios, manage accounts, execute transactions, and access selected services such as buying, swapping, and staking, depending on availability.
The Nano X uses a Secure Element and Ledger OS, with transactions requiring approval on the device. Ledger states that supported cryptocurrencies and services can change over time, so users should check its current compatibility information before managing a particular asset.
Always download Ledger software from an official Ledger domain. Avoid unofficial download websites, suspicious advertisements, unsolicited messages, and applications that imitate Ledger branding.
Most importantly, never share your Secret Recovery Phrase or PIN with anyone. Legitimate Ledger software or support should not require your complete recovery phrase. Verify transaction details directly on the Nano X display before approving a transaction.
Downloading the correct companion application is an important part of setting up a Lédger® Nano X. Use Ledger's official resources, verify the website before downloading software, follow the device instructions carefully, and keep your Secret Recovery Phrase private and offline. These practices can help you use your hardware wallet more safely.
