Ledger.com/start – Official Setup Guide for Your Ledger Hardware Wallet

Welcome to Ledger.com/start

Ledger.com/start is the official onboarding page to set up your Ledger hardware wallet securely and begin managing your digital assets with confidence. Whether you are new to crypto or a seasoned investor, this guide will walk you through each step to activate your device, install Ledger Live, and secure your assets the right way.
Ledger hardware wallets, including Ledger Nano S Plus and Ledger Nano X, offer industry-leading protection by keeping your private keys offline and safe from online threats. Follow the steps below to start your Ledger journey.

Step 1: Unbox Your Ledger Device
When you receive your Ledger wallet, make sure the packaging is sealed and untampered. Inside you should find:
Ledger hardware wallet
USB cable
Recovery sheet cards
Instructions and documentation
If you notice anything unusual, contact Ledger support immediately.

Step 2: Visit Ledger.com/start
Open your browser and go to Ledger.com/start. This page will direct you to the correct and official software download. Never download Ledger software from unofficial websites to avoid phishing or malware attempts.
At Ledger.com/start, select your device model and proceed with guided setup instructions.
Step 3: Download and Install Ledger Live
Click the link to download Ledger Live, the official application used to manage crypto assets on your wallet. Ledger Live is available for:
Windows
macOS
Linux
iOS and Android (for Ledger Nano X Bluetooth connection)
Install the software and launch it once completed.

Step 4: Initialize Your Ledger Device
Connect your Ledger to your computer or phone and follow the prompts:
Select Set up as a new device
Choose and confirm a PIN code
Write down the 24-word recovery phrase on the included recovery sheet

Important Security Note

Your recovery phrase is your only backup to restore your crypto if your device is lost or damaged. Never:
Take a photo of it
Store it on your phone or computer
Share it with anyone
Enter it on any website
Ledger will never ask for your recovery phrase.

Step 5: Verify the Recovery Phrase
After writing down the 24-word phrase, the device will ask you to confirm it in order. This ensures accuracy and prevents losing access later.
Store your recovery sheet in a secure physical location. Consider a fireproof safe or metal backup plate for added protection.

Step 6: Install Apps & Add Accounts in Ledger Live
Once setup is complete, open Ledger Live and:
Navigate to My Ledger
Install the apps for the cryptocurrencies you want to manage
Add accounts to view balances and perform transactions
You can now send, receive, and manage supported cryptocurrencies safely using Ledger Live and your hardware wallet.
