Welcome to the official Ledger® start guide. Get started with your Ledger hardware wallet and secure your cryptocurrency safely and easily.
Ledger.com/Start® is the official onboarding page provided by Ledger®, the global leader in hardware crypto wallets. This page guides users through setting up their Ledger Nano X or Ledger Nano S Plus securely. By visiting this link, you’ll be directed to trusted Ledger® resources and tools designed to keep your assets safe from online threats and phishing attempts.
Setting up your Ledger® device through the official Ledger.com/Start® ensures that your wallet firmware, software, and setup instructions come directly from Ledger’s verified servers. Always double-check the URL to protect yourself from scams or imitation websites.
Inside the box, you’ll find your Ledger Nano device, a USB cable, a recovery sheet, and a quick start guide. Ensure that your package is sealed and not tampered with. If anything looks suspicious, contact Ledger® support immediately before connecting the device.
Go to Ledger.com/Start using your web browser. Avoid using search engines to find the page; instead, type the URL directly to stay safe.
Ledger Live is the official companion app used to manage your crypto assets. You can download it for Windows, macOS, or Linux. For mobile users, the Ledger Live app is also available on iOS and Android.
Once you open Ledger Live, select “Set up as a new device.” Follow the on-screen prompts to configure your device. Choose a secure PIN code (4–8 digits) and confirm it directly on your device screen.
Your Ledger device will generate a unique 24-word recovery phrase. This phrase is the only backup to restore access to your crypto wallet if your device is lost or damaged. Write the words carefully on the recovery sheet provided, and never share it with anyone. Keep it stored in a secure offline location.
After you’ve written your recovery phrase, your device will ask you to confirm it word by word. This step ensures that your phrase has been recorded correctly. Once verified, your device setup will be complete, and Ledger Live will recognize your device as secure.
With your Ledger hardware wallet set up, you can now install crypto apps via Ledger Live. Each blockchain (such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Solana) requires its own app to manage coins or tokens. Navigate to “My Ledger” in the Ledger Live app and install the desired apps directly from Ledger’s secure servers.
Once installed, you can receive, send, and track your crypto assets safely. Ledger Live offers a clear dashboard, price tracking, and a simple interface to manage your entire portfolio in one place.
By following these best practices, you ensure the highest level of protection for your crypto assets.
Ledger® has built a strong reputation as a world leader in hardware-based digital asset security. With millions of devices sold globally, Ledger wallets offer unparalleled protection through certified secure chips and offline private key storage. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced investor, Ledger® provides peace of mind knowing your assets remain safe from online attacks.
Starting your journey with Ledger.com/Start® ensures your setup is authentic, guided, and secure from the very beginning.
