Ledger.com/start — Get Started with Your Ledger Device

Welcome to Ledger.com/start — the official starting point for setting up and securing your Ledger hardware wallet. Whether you’ve just unboxed your new Ledger Nano X or Nano S Plus, this guide will help you take full control of your cryptocurrency safely and easily. With Ledger, your private keys always stay offline, ensuring the highest level of protection for your digital assets.

Start Setup

Step 1: Connect and Initialize Your Ledger

Begin your journey by connecting your Ledger device to your computer using the official USB cable. Visit Ledger.com/start to download the latest version of Ledger Live — the trusted software companion that helps you manage your wallet and transactions securely. During initialization, follow on-screen prompts to set up your device name, PIN code, and firmware updates.

Step 2: Create or Restore Your Wallet

After initializing, you’ll be asked to generate or restore a recovery phrase. This 24-word seed phrase is the master key to your funds. Store it offline in a secure place — never take photos or type it on a computer. If your Ledger is lost or damaged, this phrase lets you recover your wallet on any other Ledger device safely.

Step 3: Install Ledger Live & Manage Your Assets

Ledger Live gives you direct access to send, receive, and monitor cryptocurrencies across multiple blockchains. You can track your portfolio’s value, view real-time market data, and install apps for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and hundreds of other assets — all within one unified interface. Every transaction requires manual approval on your Ledger device, adding an extra layer of protection.

Step 4: Keep Your Ledger Updated and Secure

Security is ongoing. Regularly check for firmware updates and install them through Ledger Live. Only download apps and software from Ledger.com to avoid phishing sites. With Ledger, your keys and crypto remain fully under your control — immune to online threats.

Step 5: Explore and Grow

Once your setup is complete, you can explore DeFi apps, stake assets, and securely interact with Web3 platforms through Ledger Live. Empower yourself to manage and protect your crypto wealth with confidence — because your security, privacy, and independence start here.
