Ledger.com/start® – Complete Setup Guide™

Ledger® hardware wallets are designed to give you full control over your digital assets by keeping your private keys offline. To begin safely, always use the official setup page: Ledger.com/start™. This guide walks you through the complete setup process, ensuring your Ledger® device is configured securely from day one.

What You Need Before You Start™

Before visiting ledger.com/start®, make sure you have the following:

✔ A new Ledger® hardware wallet (Nano S™, Nano S Plus™, or Nano X™)
✔ A computer or smartphone with internet access
✔ A USB cable or Bluetooth® (for Nano X™)
✔ A quiet, private environment for setup

⚠ Important: Never buy a pre-used Ledger® device. Your wallet should arrive sealed and unused.

Step 1: Visit Ledger.com/start®

Open your browser and go directly to https://www.ledger.com/start™. This official page ensures you download authentic Ledger® software and avoid phishing scams. Bookmark the page for future use.

Step 2: Download Ledger Live™

Ledger Live™ is the official companion app used to manage your crypto assets.

✔ Choose your operating system (Windows®, macOS®, Linux®, Android™, or iOS®)
✔ Download and install Ledger Live™
✔ Launch the app and select “Set up a new device”

Ledger Live™ allows you to buy, sell, send, receive, and stake crypto securely.

Step 3: Connect and Initialize Your Ledger® Device

Plug your Ledger® device into your computer or connect via Bluetooth® (Nano X™).

On the device screen:
→ Choose “Set up as new device”
→ Create a secure PIN code™ (4–8 digits)
→ Confirm the PIN code™

This PIN® protects your device from unauthorized physical access.

Step 4: Write Down Your Recovery Phrase®

Your Ledger® device will generate a 24-word recovery phrase™.

✔ Write the words down in exact order
✔ Store the phrase offline only
✔ Never take photos or store digitally

⚠ The recovery phrase® is the master key to your assets. Ledger® will never ask for it—ever.

Step 5: Verify Recovery Phrase™

To complete setup, your Ledger® device will ask you to verify selected words from your recovery phrase™. This ensures you wrote them down correctly.

Once verified, your wallet setup is complete ✔

Step 6: Install Apps & Add Accounts™

Using Ledger Live™:
→ Install crypto apps (Bitcoin®, Ethereum®, Solana®, etc.)

→ Start sending and receiving crypto safely

Ledger® supports thousands of coins and tokens through Ledger Live™ and third-party apps.
