Step 1: Unbox and Connect

Open your MyLedger box and confirm all accessories are included: the device, a USB-C cable, and your recovery sheets. Connect the hardware wallet to your computer using the supplied cable. Once connected, power it on and follow the on-screen instructions.

Each device is sealed for your security. If you notice any tampering, please contact support immediately and do not use the device.

Step 2: Install MyLedger Live

Download the MyLedger Live app for your operating system. It allows you to manage crypto accounts, update firmware, and verify transactions. Choose your platform below:

Windows macOS Linux

Step 3: Secure Your Recovery Phrase

When initializing your wallet, the device will generate a 24-word recovery phrase. This phrase is the only way to recover your assets if your device is lost or damaged. Write it down carefully on the provided recovery sheets — never share it or store it digitally.

Pro Tip: Store one copy in a safe place at home and another in a secure off-site location. Treat it like the keys to your entire crypto portfolio.

Step 4: Add Crypto Accounts

Once your device is set up and connected to MyLedger Live, you can add cryptocurrency accounts such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Solana. The app ensures that private keys never leave your device — all sensitive operations happen inside the secure chip.

Each time you send crypto, you’ll confirm the transaction directly on the device screen. This physical confirmation step ensures that even if your computer is compromised, your funds remain protected.
