Ledger.com/Start® – Official Setup Guide

Ledger.com/Start® is the only trusted site for initializing and managing your Ledger wallet. Here, you’ll find verified software, official instructions, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing you are protected from phishing and counterfeit apps. This guide explains each step, from unboxing your wallet to making your first secure transaction.

Why Begin with Ledger?

Ledger wallets are built around security. Unlike hot wallets or exchanges, your private keys remain offline, stored in a Secure Element chip. This means you retain full control of your crypto — no one else can access your funds. Millions of users worldwide trust Ledger as their safeguard against hacks, scams, and unauthorized access.

Step 1: Order from the Official Site

Always order your device directly from Ledger.com/Start®. Choose from the Nano S Plus for simplicity or the Nano X for advanced features like Bluetooth. Avoid third-party vendors to eliminate the risk of tampering.

Step 2: Install Ledger Live

Once you have your wallet, download Ledger Live™ directly from the official site. Ledger Live is your control center — it lets you set up your device, update firmware, add crypto accounts, and track your portfolio with a single dashboard.

Step 3: Secure with PIN & Recovery Phrase

During setup, you’ll be asked to create a PIN code and write down a 24-word recovery phrase. This phrase is your master key. Never store it online or share it with anyone, not even Ledger support. Keep it offline and in a safe place — it’s the only way to restore your wallet if lost.

Step 4: Manage Crypto with Confidence

With Ledger Live and your device, you can send, receive, and stake assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and thousands of tokens. Every transaction must be physically confirmed on your device, protecting you from malware or address tampering. Updates keep your device secure as the crypto landscape evolves.
