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)

  1. Download Ledger Live from ledger.com/start to ensure authenticity.
  2. Choose “Set up as new device” on your Ledger and create a PIN — never share it.
  3. Write down your 24-word recovery phrase on the provided sheet; never store it digitally.
  4. 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.
