Welcome to Ledger.com/Start® — Your Official Gateway to Secure Crypto Management

Welcome to Ledger.com/Start®, the official starting point for setting up your Ledger hardware wallet. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned crypto investor, your journey toward secure, self-custodied digital asset ownership begins here.

Ledger is the most trusted name in crypto security, with millions of users worldwide protecting their digital assets using Ledger Nano S Plus, Ledger Nano X, and Ledger Stax™. With Ledger, you hold the keys — and the power — to your digital wealth.

Why Choose Ledger?

Security is everything in crypto. Ledger hardware wallets offer industry-leading security by keeping your private keys offline and safe from hacks, phishing, and malware. Combined with Ledger Live®, our official app, you get a seamless experience for buying, selling, staking, and managing your crypto all in one place.

Step 1: Unbox Your Ledger Device

When you receive your Ledger hardware wallet, ensure the packaging is sealed and untampered. Your box should contain:

  • 1 Ledger device (Nano S Plus, Nano X, or Stax)
  • 1 USB cable
  • Recovery sheets
  • Keychain accessories
  • Getting Started guide

⚠️ Warning: Only purchase your Ledger device from Ledger.com or authorized resellers. Do not use a pre-configured device.

Step 2: Go to Ledger.com/Start®

Visit the official setup page:
👉 Ledger.com/Start

This page will guide you through:

  • Downloading Ledger Live®, the companion app
  • Updating your firmware
  • Setting up your wallet securely

Never download Ledger Live from unofficial sources. Use only the links provided at Ledger.com/Start® to avoid scams or malware.

Step 3: Install Ledger Live®

Ledger Live® is your secure desktop and mobile app for managing your crypto assets. It supports Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.

Follow these steps:

  1. Download Ledger Live from Ledger.com/Start
  2. Install the app on your device
  3. Open Ledger Live and select "Get Started"
  4. Choose your Ledger device (e.g., Nano X)
  5. Follow the step-by-step setup wizard

Step 4: Initialize Your Ledger Device

When prompted by Ledger Live, connect your device via USB (or Bluetooth for Nano X/Stax). You’ll be guided to:

  1. Set up as new device
  • Choose this if this is your first setup
  1. Create a PIN code
  • A 4–8 digit code that locks your device
  1. Write down your 24-word recovery phrase
  • This is your only backup if your device is lost or stolen
  • Write it down on the provided recovery sheet
  • Store it in a secure, offline location
  • Never share it with anyone

⚠️ Ledger will never ask for your recovery phrase. If anyone does, it’s a scam.

Step 5: Verify and Secure

Once your device is initialized:

  • Confirm the 24-word phrase on your device
  • Let Ledger Live run a genuine check to verify authenticity
  • Add accounts for your preferred cryptocurrencies (BTC, ETH, SOL, etc.)
  • Install apps for each coin via the Manager in Ledger Live

Step 6: Add and Manage Crypto

With Ledger Live, you can:

  • Send and receive over 5,500 cryptocurrencies
  • Buy crypto directly with fiat using integrated partners
  • Swap coins instantly via Ledger Swap
  • Track portfolio performance in real time
  • Earn rewards through staking (ETH, DOT, ADA, and more)

All transactions require confirmation on your device, ensuring no one can move your funds without your physical approval.

Step 7: Stay Safe and Informed

Security is a journey, not a destination. Here’s how to stay protected:

✅ Keep your firmware and Ledger Live app up to date
✅ Never share your recovery phrase
✅ Always use Ledger Live or verified third-party apps
✅ Bookmark Ledger.com/Start and use only official resources
