Ledger.com/start® – Complete Guide to Setting Up Your Ledger Wallet™
Ledger® hardware wallets are trusted worldwide for securely storing cryptocurrencies. If you’ve just purchased a Ledger Nano S Plus™, Ledger Nano X™, or Ledger Stax™, the official and safest way to begin is through ledger.com/start®. This guide walks you through the setup process step by step, ensuring your digital assets remain protected at all times.
What Is Ledger.com/start™?
Ledger.com/start® is the official onboarding page provided by Ledger®. It helps users install Ledger Live™, initialize their hardware wallet, create a recovery phrase, and manage crypto assets securely. Using the official website is essential to avoid phishing attacks and counterfeit software.
Step 1: Unbox and Verify Your Ledger Device®
When you receive your Ledger wallet™, ensure the box is sealed and untampered. Ledger® devices never come pre-configured. If you see a recovery phrase already written down, do not use the device. Genuine Ledger® wallets generate the recovery phrase only during setup.
Step 2: Visit Ledger.com/start®
Open a secure browser and go to ledger.com/start™. Select your device model (Nano S Plus™, Nano X™, or Stax™). You’ll be prompted to download Ledger Live®, the official desktop and mobile application used to manage your crypto assets.
Step 3: Install Ledger Live™
Download Ledger Live® for Windows®, macOS®, Linux®, Android™, or iOS®. After installation, open the app and choose “Set up a new device™.” Ledger Live® will guide you through pairing your hardware wallet and verifying its authenticity.
Step 4: Create a PIN and Recovery Phrase®
Set a secure PIN code directly on your Ledger device™. Next, the wallet will generate a 24-word recovery phrase®. This phrase is the master key to your funds.
✔ Write it down on the recovery sheet provided
✔ Store it offline in a safe location
✘ Never share it
✘ Never store it digitally
Ledger® will ask you to confirm the phrase to ensure it’s recorded correctly.
Step 5: Add Accounts and Install Apps™
Once setup is complete, use Ledger Live® to install cryptocurrency apps™ (Bitcoin®, Ethereum®, Solana®, etc.). You can then add accounts, receive funds, send crypto, and monitor your portfolio in real time.
