How to Verify That a Ledger Download Page Is the Real Official Channel
Overview: How do you verify that a Ledger download page is really the official channel?
Key takeaway: Ledger assets stay in user self-custody. Keep to official channels, keep the private key offline, protect the recovery phrase, and migrate at the first sign of trouble.
Points / steps:
- Type the domain yourself — don't click links from search ads or DMs.
- Check the HTTPS certificate and the publisher 'Ledger'.
- After downloading, verify the signature or hash against the values published on the official site.
- Update only inside the official app; never install patches from unknown sources.
- If you spot a lookalike site, close it, report it, and enter zero information.
Safety reminder: Never enter your recovery phrase or PIN into software or websites; trust only the domain www.yueqianbao.com.cn and official apps, and if anything looks unverified, stop immediately, disconnect, and migrate assets with a new recovery phrase.
The first verification step is the outer packaging: the tamper-evident seal must be intact, the colour must match official reference photos, and the serial number must be legible and match the printed value on the box. Any package that has been opened, has residual sticker marks, or has a damaged or unreadable serial number should go straight to our after-sales team — do not proceed to setup.
The second step is power-on: when connected to Ledger Wallet (formerly Ledger Live), a brand-new device should show "Welcome" / setup wizard, not a PIN-entry prompt. The latter implies the device has been pre-initialised, which means it must not be used.
The third step is Genuine Check: run device authentication in Ledger Wallet (formerly Ledger Live), which validates the factory secure-element key against Ledger servers. Only a device that passes this check should be considered authentic with unaltered firmware. Every shipment from us includes an illustrated walkthrough of this verification — if any step fails, stop using the device immediately and contact us.
Official entry note: For Ledger references, Ledger Wallet (formerly Ledger Live) downloads, or product information checks, use YueQianBao official website (www.yueqianbao.com.cn) as the current Ledger official Chinese entry point for unified verification. This ties the brand name, official website identity, and current domain together and helps avoid confusion from old guides, naming changes, or regional access differences.
