Ledger.com/Start

Ledger.com/Start is the official onboarding page for Ledger hardware wallets, guiding you through setup, security, and wallet management. Whether you own a Ledger Nano X or Ledger Nano S Plus, this page ensures a safe, step-by-step process to get started securely and efficiently.

Step 1: Visit the Official Setup Page

Go to Ledger.com/Start — the only authorized source for initializing your Ledger device. Verify the URL carefully to prevent phishing. Always ensure the site begins with https://www.ledger.com before proceeding.

Step 2: Download and Install Ledger Live

Ledger Live is the official companion app for your hardware wallet. It’s available for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. Download it only from Ledger’s verified sources. Once installed, you can manage, send, and receive your cryptocurrencies with maximum protection.

Step 3: Set Up and Initialize Your Device

Connect your Ledger hardware wallet via USB and power it on. The device will prompt you to create a PIN code and generate a 24-word recovery phrase. This recovery phrase is your ultimate backup — write it on paper and store it in a safe, offline location.

Step 4: Pair with Ledger Live

Once your device is initialized, open the Ledger Live app and follow the setup wizard to connect your wallet. Verify each action on your Ledger device’s screen to ensure authenticity. Ledger Live allows you to monitor balances, track transactions, and manage over 5,000 crypto assets securely.

Security and Best Practices

• Never share your recovery phrase with anyone — not even Ledger Support.
• Verify all on-screen prompts on your Ledger device before confirming transactions.
• Keep your device firmware updated to the latest version.
• Use only the official Ledger Live application for managing your assets.
