Welcome to Ledger.com/Start®, the official onboarding platform for all Ledger hardware wallet users. If you're stepping into the world of cryptocurrency or enhancing your digital asset security, you've come to the right place. Ledger provides unmatched safety, ease of use, and peace of mind for managing crypto assets with full control.
At Ledger.com/Start®, beginners and experts alike can set up their Ledger Nano S Plus, Ledger Nano X, or Ledger Stax in just a few simple steps. Let’s walk you through the essentials of getting started securely with your Ledger device.
Why Ledger? Empowering Crypto Owners With Hardware Security
Cryptocurrencies are decentralized by nature, which means your private keys are everything. With Ledger, your keys are offline, safe from hackers and malware. Unlike software wallets or exchanges, Ledger hardware wallets protect your assets even if your computer or phone is compromised.
Ledger’s security is powered by a certified secure element chip—the same technology used in passports and credit cards. Combined with Ledger Live®, its user-friendly companion app, Ledger becomes the all-in-one solution for buying, selling, staking, and managing digital assets.
How to Set Up Your Device on Ledger.com/Start®
Setting up your Ledger device using the official site ensures authenticity and minimizes the risk of phishing attacks or fake software. Here's a streamlined guide to begin securely:
1. Visit Ledger.com/Start®
Start your journey by heading to the official onboarding page. You'll be guided through selecting your Ledger device model and downloading Ledger Live®, the desktop and mobile app used to manage your crypto portfolio.
2. Download Ledger Live
Ledger Live is your digital wallet manager. It allows you to:
- Check balances across coins and tokens
- Send and receive crypto assets
- Install apps for specific cryptocurrencies
- Stake coins for rewards
The app is available for Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android.
3. Initialize Your Ledger Device
Turn on your Ledger hardware wallet and follow the on-screen instructions. You will:
- Choose a PIN code
- Write down your 24-word recovery phrase
- Confirm your seed phrase using your device (never share it online)
4. Verify Your Device's Authenticity
Ledger Live will automatically verify if your device is genuine and not tampered with.
5. Add Crypto Accounts
Install apps for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and other supported blockchains through Ledger Live. Once installed, add your account and start managing your assets securely.
Important Reminder: Protect Your Recovery Phrase
Ledger never stores or knows your private keys or recovery phrase. Write down your 24 words and store them offline in a secure location. Anyone with access to it can take your assets—so protect it like your life savings.
Avoid taking screenshots or digital backups. For added security, consider a fireproof metal seed backup tool like Cryptosteel Capsule, also available in the Ledger shop.
