Ledger.com/Start – The Official Setup Guide for Your Ledger Wallet

Welcome to Ledger.com/Start, your official starting point for setting up and securing your Ledger hardware wallet. Whether you’re new to cryptocurrency or a seasoned investor, Ledger gives you a simple and secure way to protect and manage your digital assets.

What Is Ledger?

Ledger is a world-leading provider of hardware wallets — physical devices that securely store your cryptocurrency private keys offline. Unlike software or exchange wallets, Ledger wallets keep your private keys isolated from the internet, protecting your assets from hacks, scams, and malware attacks.

Owning your crypto means controlling your keys. With Ledger, you remain the true owner of your digital wealth, not an exchange or third party.

Why Choose Ledger?

When it comes to cryptocurrency security, Ledger sets the global standard. Millions of users worldwide trust Ledger for its combination of advanced security, ease of use, and support for thousands of cryptocurrencies.

Here’s what makes Ledger unique:

  • Unmatched Security: Private keys are stored on a certified secure element chip — the same type used in passports and credit cards.

  • Offline Protection: Your wallet remains safe even if your computer or phone is compromised.

  • Wide Compatibility: Manage over 5,000 crypto assets including Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and many more.

  • User-Friendly App: Ledger Live simplifies crypto management — send, receive, and track assets all in one place.

  • Backup & Recovery: A 24-word recovery phrase allows you to restore your wallet anytime if your device is lost or damaged.

Getting Started at Ledger.com/Start

Setting up your Ledger wallet is simple. Follow the official guide at Ledger.com/Start to ensure your device is configured safely and correctly.

Step 1: Choose Your Device

Ledger offers two main hardware wallet models:

  • Ledger Nano X – Premium version with Bluetooth connectivity, ideal for managing crypto via mobile.

  • Ledger Nano S Plus – Affordable and reliable, perfect for beginners or those with smaller portfolios.

Both provide the same level of industry-leading security. Your choice depends on your needs and how you manage your assets.

Step 2: Unbox and Verify

After receiving your Ledger device:

  1. Ensure the packaging is sealed and untampered.

  2. Inside the box, you’ll find the Ledger wallet, a USB cable, a recovery sheet, and setup instructions.

  3. Connect the device to your computer or smartphone using the USB cable (or Bluetooth for Nano X).

⚠️ Important: Always purchase from official Ledger channels or authorized partners to avoid counterfeit products.

Step 3: Initialize Your Ledger Wallet

  1. Power on your device.

  2. Select “Set up as new device.”

  3. Create a secure PIN code (4–8 digits).

  4. Write down your 24-word recovery phrase on the recovery sheet provided.

The recovery phrase is your only backup if your device is lost, stolen, or damaged.

Security Tips:

  • Never take a photo or store the recovery phrase digitally.

  • Keep it in a safe, offline location.

  • Never share it with anyone — Ledger will never ask for it.

Step 4: Install Ledger Live

Ledger Live is the official companion app that connects your device to the blockchain. It allows you to manage and monitor your crypto safely.

To install:

  1. Visit Ledger.com/Start and download Ledger Live for your operating system (Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, or Android).

  2. Follow on-screen instructions to pair your Ledger device.

  3. Install the apps for the cryptocurrencies you want to manage.

Now your wallet is ready to send, receive, and store crypto securely.

Step 5: Add and Manage Your Cryptocurrencies

  • Send Crypto: Confirm every transaction directly on your device screen for added protection.

  • Monitor Portfolio: Track asset balances and real-time prices from one dashboard.

Keeping Your Ledger Safe

Your Ledger device is your vault — keep it secure by following these best practices:

  • Regularly update your Ledger firmware via Ledger Live.
