Welcome to Your Ledger® Setup Guide
Welcome to Ledger.com/start® — the official starting point for setting up your Ledger hardware wallet. Whether you’ve just unboxed your Ledger Nano X or Nano S Plus, this guide will help you secure your assets and begin your journey into the world of safe, self-custodied cryptocurrency ownership.
Begin by visiting Ledger.com/start from your computer or smartphone. This ensures you’re accessing the official Ledger website — never trust links from emails or third-party platforms. Once there, download Ledger Live, the companion software that connects your Ledger device to your portfolio.
After installing Ledger Live, open the app and select “Get Started.” Plug your Ledger device into your computer using the USB cable provided. You’ll be guided through a few essential steps: choosing a PIN code, generating your recovery phrase, and verifying your device’s authenticity. Every Ledger comes sealed with cryptographic verification — no one can tamper with it without detection.
Your 24-word recovery phrase is the most critical part of your wallet’s security. Write it down carefully on the recovery sheet provided and store it somewhere offline — away from digital storage or photographs. This recovery phrase is your key to restoring access to your crypto if your Ledger device is lost, stolen, or damaged.
Once your wallet is initialized, Ledger Live will prompt you to add crypto accounts such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, or other supported assets. Each transaction you send or receive must be manually verified on your Ledger screen — ensuring no one can move your funds without your physical approval.
Ledger’s hardware wallets work hand-in-hand with Ledger Live to offer complete control of your digital assets. You can buy, swap, stake, or manage over 5,000 tokens directly through the interface, all while your private keys remain stored safely inside your hardware wallet — offline and untouchable by hackers.
For extra protection, regularly check for firmware updates within Ledger Live. These updates strengthen your device security and expand compatibility with newer cryptocurrencies. Ledger will never ask for your recovery phrase or PIN — always keep those private.
Whether you’re a long-time crypto enthusiast or a new investor, Ledger.com/start® is designed to make setup simple and secure. In minutes, you’ll transform your Ledger device into a personal vault for your digital wealth — one that puts you in total control of your financial future.
