Why Start at Ledger.com/Start?

Ledger.com/Start is the official starting point for securely setting up your Ledger hardware wallet. This page is designed to guide users through every essential step—from unboxing your Ledger device to securing your assets with Ledger Live.

Using the official site ensures you're following safe, verified procedures that protect your investments from phishing, scams, or accidental mistakes. It’s the only place you need to begin.

Step-by-Step Guide to Getting Started

1. Choose Your Ledger Device

Ledger offers two main hardware wallet models:

  • Ledger Nano S Plus – Ideal for beginners and affordable with wide token support.
  • Ledger Nano X – A premium device with Bluetooth and more storage for apps.

After purchasing from Ledger’s official site or trusted retailers, go directly to Ledger.com/Start to begin your setup.

2. Unbox and Verify Your Device

Once you receive your Ledger wallet:

  • Check the packaging for tampering.
  • Ensure your device comes sealed and includes a recovery sheet.
  • Do not use a pre-configured wallet. Ledger devices should always be initialized by you.

Ledger.com/Start includes detailed visuals and instructions to help you safely verify and initialize your device.

3. Install Ledger Live App

Ledger Live is your command center. Download it directly from the official site to ensure you're using the latest and safest version. Ledger Live is compatible with:

  • Windows, macOS, and Linux
  • iOS and Android (Nano X only)

With Ledger Live, you can:

  • Set up your device
  • Manage over 5,500+ digital assets
  • Send, receive, and stake crypto
  • Connect to Web3 apps and services

4. Initialize and Secure Your Wallet

At Ledger.com/Start, follow the guide to initialize your wallet:

  • Create a new wallet using your Ledger device.
  • Generate and write down your 24-word recovery phrase. This is your only backup—store it securely and never share it.
  • Set a strong PIN code to lock access to your device.

This step is critical. Your 24-word seed phrase is the only way to recover your wallet if your device is lost or damaged.

5. Add Accounts and Receive Crypto

Using Ledger Live, you can:

  • Create accounts for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and many other cryptocurrencies.
  • Generate wallet addresses for receiving crypto.
  • View your portfolio in real-time, including balances, price charts, and transaction history.

Ledger Live makes crypto management as simple as online banking—backed by the security of offline storage.
