ONBOARDING FAQ

SECURE HARDWARE SETUP

During the initial setup, your Ledger device generates a unique cryptographic seed. This seed is the foundation of your security, so ensure you write it down and store it in a secure, offline location immediately.

RECOVERY PROCEDURE

If you lose your Ledger device, you can restore your assets using your 12-word recovery phrase. This phrase is the only way to regain access to your digital portfolio, so never share it with anyone.

SECURITY VERIFICATION

Every transaction requires a PIN and a physical touch of your Ledger device. This multi-factor authentication ensures that even if your device is lost or stolen, your funds remain protected.
