Welcome to Ledger.com/start
Ledger.com/start is the official and most secure guide to setting up your Ledger hardware wallet. This page ensures that every step of your wallet initialization, from connecting your device to securing your recovery phrase, is done safely and correctly.
To begin, connect your Ledger Nano X or Nano S Plus to your computer using the supplied cable. Download and install Ledger Live, the all-in-one application for managing your crypto portfolio. Once installed, open Ledger Live and follow the on-screen prompts to initialize your device.
During setup, your Ledger device will generate a 24-word recovery phrase — your ultimate backup. Write these words down carefully and store them offline in a safe, private location. Never photograph, share, or save them digitally. This phrase is the only way to recover your funds if your device is lost or damaged.
After verifying your recovery phrase, you’ll be prompted to set a secure PIN. Confirm all transactions directly on your Ledger device to prevent unauthorized activity. Ledger’s hardware wallets are designed with a secure element chip that isolates private keys from online threats, offering bank-grade protection for your digital wealth.
Once your setup is complete, you can explore Ledger Live’s features: manage multiple assets, stake tokens, swap cryptocurrencies, or monitor real-time market data—all from one secure interface.
Ledger.com/start guarantees you’re using the authentic and safe process to get started. By following the official guide, you ensure your device’s firmware is genuine, your wallet setup is protected, and your crypto remains fully under your control.
Take control of your financial future—securely, privately, and confidently—with Ledger.com/start, the only official guide for safe crypto onboarding.
