To get started, visit Ledger.com/Start — the official and trusted platform to set up your device correctly.

Whether you're using the Ledger Nano S Plus or Ledger Nano X, Ledger.com/Start guides you through the entire process with ease and security.

What Is Ledger.com/Start?

Ledger.com/Start is the official onboarding page provided by Ledger, designed to help users set up their hardware wallets quickly and securely. It offers a complete walkthrough for new users — including how to configure your device, install necessary apps, and connect it with the Ledger Live app.

This page ensures you’re following safe, verified steps and not falling victim to phishing or fake setup tools. Always start your setup here to protect your assets.

Step 1: Unbox and Verify Your Ledger Device

After receiving your Ledger wallet, your first step is to unbox the device and ensure its authenticity. Ledger.com/Start includes a detailed verification checklist to help you inspect the packaging and hardware.

Make sure you only buy Ledger devices from the official website or certified resellers. Avoid using pre-owned wallets or sources that are not verified — your crypto security depends on it.

Step 2: Download Ledger Live

Ledger Live is the official application used to interact with your Ledger wallet. Available on desktop and mobile platforms, this powerful app allows you to:

  • Set up your Ledger device
  • Install apps for each cryptocurrency
  • View your crypto balances in real-time
  • Send, receive, and swap tokens
  • Buy and stake supported coins

Download the Ledger Live app directly from Ledger.com/Start to ensure you're using the latest and safest version.

Step 3: Set Up and Backup Your Wallet

Once Ledger Live is installed, connect your Ledger wallet and begin the guided setup. You'll be prompted to create a PIN code and generate your unique 24-word recovery phrase — this is your backup key to access your wallet if your device is lost or damaged.

Important: Never store your recovery phrase digitally. Write it down and keep it in a safe, offline location. Ledger will never ask you to share this phrase, and anyone who has it can access your funds.

Step 4: Add and Manage Your Crypto Assets

With your device configured, you're ready to manage your cryptocurrency portfolio. Ledger wallets support over 5,500 coins and tokens, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and many others.

Use Ledger Live to:

  • Install coin-specific apps
  • Add multiple accounts
  • Track portfolio value
  • Stake supported cryptocurrencies
  • Connect to DeFi and NFT platforms

By using a Ledger device, your private keys stay offline — meaning they are not exposed to the internet and cannot be hacked remotely.

Step 5: Stay Secure with Best Practices

Ledger.com/Start also provides ongoing security guidance, including:

  • Updating firmware and apps regularly
  • Using only official apps and sites
  • Protecting your recovery phrase
  • Avoiding phishing emails and malicious links

Following these tips will keep your assets protected and ensure you stay in full control of your crypto journey.
