Ledger Live® is the official desktop and mobile app that lets you manage your crypto assets in one place. You can install it on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, or Android.

After downloading the app, install and open it on your device. Ledger Live will guide you through creating a new wallet or restoring an existing one.

  2. Write down your 24-word recovery phrase 📜
  3. Confirm your phrase by re-entering the words on your device ✔️

🛑 Important: Your 24-word recovery phrase is your only backup. Never take a screenshot, never save it online, and never share it with anyone—even Ledger support.

Once your device is ready, go back to Ledger Live® and:

  • Pair your Ledger device with the app 🔗

Everything is protected by your Ledger device—no action is completed unless you approve it on the hardware wallet.

  • Use a different USB cable or port if your device isn't recognized 🔌
