Welcome to Ledger.com/Start® — the official and trusted guide to setting up and securing your Ledger hardware wallet. This page helps you complete your setup process, understand your recovery phrase, and manage your digital assets safely through the official Ledger Live app. By following this guide, you can confidently take control of your cryptocurrency with industry-leading protection.
Ledger hardware wallets are designed to provide maximum security for your crypto assets. Whether you are using a Ledger Nano X, Nano S Plus, or Nano S, these devices store your private keys offline, keeping them out of reach from online hackers. Ledger.com/Start® ensures that you begin your journey safely with step-by-step instructions and official resources.
Your Ledger package includes a hardware wallet, USB cable, recovery sheets, and an instruction card. Make sure all these items are sealed and untampered. Always purchase Ledger products directly from official sources to guarantee authenticity and safety.
To start, connect your Ledger device to your computer using the provided USB cable or Bluetooth connection (for Nano X). Go to Ledger.com/Start® and download the Ledger Live app — the official interface to manage your cryptocurrency. Follow the prompts on the app to begin your setup process.
During setup, you’ll be asked to create a secure PIN code. This code protects your device from unauthorized access. Choose a PIN that is unique and not easily guessed. Remember: without the PIN, you cannot access your wallet, so store it safely.
Your Ledger device will display a 24-word recovery phrase. This is the most critical part of your security setup. It acts as the only backup of your private keys. Write down all 24 words in the exact order on the provided recovery sheet. Keep it offline and never share it with anyone. Ledger will never ask for this phrase — if anyone does, it’s a scam.
After completing the setup, open Ledger Live and install apps for the cryptocurrencies you wish to manage (like Bitcoin, Ethereum, or XRP). Each app allows you to create and manage specific crypto accounts. You can view balances, send or receive funds, and even stake tokens directly through Ledger Live.
Ledger continuously updates its firmware and applications to improve security. Always ensure your device and Ledger Live app are running the latest versions. Before entering your PIN or recovery phrase, double-check that you’re using the official Ledger platform (Ledger.com) and not a fake website.
The Ledger Live app is your central hub for managing digital assets. It allows you to track portfolio performance, buy crypto, stake tokens, and even manage NFTs — all while maintaining full control of your private keys. Unlike web wallets or exchanges, Ledger ensures your keys never leave your device.
Always store your recovery phrase securely — consider using a Ledger Cryptosteel Capsule for added protection against fire or water damage. Avoid taking digital photos of your recovery sheet, and never enter your recovery phrase on any website or phone app. It’s your key to your assets — guard it like your identity.
Ledger is trusted by millions of users worldwide for its advanced security technology. Its secure element chip is the same type used in passports and credit cards, providing uncompromising protection. Combined with Ledger Live’s easy-to-use interface, you get the perfect balance between safety and convenience.
