Welcome

Get started with Ledger

Why a hardware wallet?

Hardware wallets like Ledger provide a secure, offline place to store the private keys that control your crypto assets. They keep your keys isolated from internet threats and reduce the risk of phishing, malware, and theft.

Open Ledger — Ledger.com/start
Presenter note: say 1–2 short sentences about why security matters to your audience.

Initial setup

Step-by-step

1. Power on & choose PIN

Follow on-device prompts: choose a PIN, confirm it on the device, and write down your recovery phrase exactly as shown. Ledger devices create a 24-word recovery phrase by default — keep it offline and secure.

Presenter note: demonstrate how to select a PIN (short demo or screenshot).

Recovery phrase safety

Protect your backup

Do's and don'ts

DO store the recovery phrase offline — on paper or metal. DO keep it in a separate secure place. DON'T share it with anyone. DON'T type it into websites or cloud storage. If lost, funds may be irretrievable.

Presenter note: warn strongly about scams that ask for recovery phrases.

Install cryptocurrency apps

Manage multiple assets

Using Ledger Live

Open Ledger Live, go to the Manager, and install the specific apps for the coins you want to manage. These are lightweight on-device apps — installing an app does not move funds; it enables the device to sign transactions for that asset.

Presenter note: show how to add an account in Ledger Live after app install.

Receive funds securely

Always verify addresses

Best practice

Generate a receive address in Ledger Live and confirm the address on your device's screen before giving it to a sender. Address verification on the device prevents malware from substituting a fraudulent address.

Presenter note: display the address verification step clearly in your demo.

Extra precautions

Consider a passphrase (adds an extra word to your seed for hidden wallets), use a metal backup plate, and enable two-factor authentication where possible for exchange accounts. Keep firmware and Ledger Live updated from the official site.

Presenter note: explain passphrase trade-offs (convenience vs. security).
