1. Why Ledger and hardware wallets matter

A hardware wallet stores private keys offline — away from internet-connected devices where phishing, malware, and exchange breaches happen. For users of HTX Exchange and other trading sites, using a Ledger device means custody remains in your control while you trade or withdraw funds.

2. Safe first-time setup (step-by-step)

Download Ledger Live from ledger.com/start to ensure authenticity.
Choose “Set up as new device” on your Ledger and create a PIN — never share it.
Write down your 24-word recovery phrase on the provided sheet; never store it digitally.
Verify your recovery phrase when prompted on the device to confirm accuracy.

Tip: When connecting to HTX Exchange or any platform, always confirm URLs and use two-factor authentication (2FA) for added protection.

3. Integrating Ledger with HTX Exchange

Many exchanges, including HTX Exchange, support withdrawals to hardware wallets. To use Ledger with HTX Exchange:

Create or open your receiving account in Ledger Live for the currency you want to withdraw.
From HTX Exchange, add your Ledger-generated address (copy-paste from Ledger Live, and verify the address on-screen on your device).
Perform a small test withdrawal to confirm the address before transferring large amounts.

This reduces risk and aligns exchange activity with strong custody practices.

4. Best security practices

Never enter recovery words into a computer or phone; the ledger recovery phrase belongs only on paper.
Update Ledger firmware and Ledger Live from official sources only.
Confirm every transaction on the physical Ledger device; the screen is your final authority.
