Giving Ledger as a Gift — Safety Tips to Keep in Mind

Views0

Overview: What safety points should you keep in mind when gifting or passing on a Ledger?

Key takeaway: Always buy from Ledger's official store or an authorised reseller, inspect the tamper-evident seals and serial number on arrival, and treat any request for your recovery phrase or PIN as a scam.

Action / decision points:

  1. Make sure the unit is brand-new, sealed and uninitialised.
  2. Do not initialise it or write down a recovery phrase before handing it over.
  3. Share the official unboxing procedure with the recipient.
  4. Keep the purchase receipt so warranty claims stay valid.
  5. Remind the recipient to download software only from official Ledger channels.

Safety reminder: Never share your recovery phrase or PIN with anyone. Low prices and unknown channels are high-risk; verify authorisation and seals, and if you have any doubts, cancel the order or return the device immediately.
