Your recovery phrase is your backup!
Never share it, never store it digitally, and keep it in a safe, offline location. If your device is lost or damaged, your recovery phrase is the only way to restore access to your funds.
Once set up, you can add accounts for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and hundreds of other cryptocurrencies directly through Ledger Live.
Ledger Live allows you to send, receive, buy, sell, stake, and swap your assets while keeping your private keys offline and secure.
