How to Restore a Wallet Through Ledger.com/Start

Ledger.com/start also supports restoring an existing Ledger wallet using your original 24-word recovery phrase. This process is useful if your device has been reset, replaced, or lost while your recovery phrase remains safely stored.

Begin by downloading the latest version of Ledger Live from the official setup page. Connect your Ledger hardware wallet and select the option to restore an existing wallet instead of creating a new one.

Carefully enter your 24-word recovery phrase directly on the Ledger hardware wallet following the device instructions. Never type the recovery phrase into websites, emails, browser extensions, or unofficial software.

Once the recovery process is complete, Ledger Live synchronizes your accounts with supported blockchain networks. Your cryptocurrency remains on the blockchain, while the recovery phrase restores the private keys required to access your funds.

Store your recovery phrase securely offline and verify that every word has been recorded correctly during the initial setup process.
