Ledger® is a trusted name in crypto security, and getting started with a Ledger™ hardware wallet is simple when you follow the official process at ledger.com/start™. This guide walks you through each step to securely set up your Ledger® device and protect your digital assets from online threats.
What Is Ledger.com/start™?
Ledger.com/start™ is the official onboarding page provided by Ledger® to help users safely initialize their Ledger™ hardware wallet. Whether you’re using a Ledger Nano S Plus™, Ledger Nano X™, or another Ledger® device, this page ensures you download genuine software and follow best security practices.
Step 1: Unbox and Verify Your Ledger® Device
When you receive your Ledger™ wallet, ensure the package is sealed and untampered. Ledger® devices do not come pre-configured. If you notice anything suspicious, stop immediately and contact Ledger® support. Always use a brand-new device purchased from Ledger® or an authorized reseller®.
Step 2: Visit Ledger.com/start™
Open a secure browser and go directly to ledger.com/start™. Avoid clicking ads or third-party links. This page will guide you to download Ledger Live™, the official desktop and mobile app used to manage your crypto assets securely.
Step 3: Download and Install Ledger Live™
Ledger Live™ is available for Windows®, macOS®, Linux®, Android™, and iOS®. Install the app only from ledger.com/start™ to avoid counterfeit software. Once installed, open Ledger Live™ and select “Set up a new Ledger® device.”
Step 4: Initialize Your Ledger™ Hardware Wallet
Connect your Ledger® device to your computer or smartphone using the provided cable. Follow the on-screen instructions to create a new wallet. You’ll be prompted to set a PIN code™, which protects your device from unauthorized access.
Step 5: Secure Your Recovery Phrase®
Your Ledger™ device will generate a 24-word recovery phrase®. This is the most important step. Write the words down offline on the recovery sheet provided. Never store this phrase digitally or share it with anyone. Ledger® will never ask for your recovery phrase™.
Step 6: Verify and Confirm
After writing down your recovery phrase®, Ledger Live™ will ask you to confirm it. This ensures you recorded it correctly. Store the phrase in a secure, private location. Losing it means losing access to your crypto assets permanently.
Step 7: Add Accounts and Start Using Ledger Live™
Once setup is complete, you can add supported cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin®, Ethereum™, and many others. Ledger Live™ allows you to send, receive, stake™, and manage assets while keeping your private keys offline inside your Ledger® device.
