Welcome to Ledger.com/Start
Ledger.com/Start is the official setup portal for Ledger hardware wallets — a secure and convenient way to manage your cryptocurrencies. Whether you own a Ledger Nano X or Ledger Nano S Plus, this guide helps you connect, configure, and protect your assets effortlessly. In the evolving world of digital currencies, safety comes first, and Ledger ensures that your private keys remain completely offline and under your control.
Why Use a Ledger Wallet?
Unlike hot wallets that are always connected to the internet, Ledger hardware wallets store your private keys in a secure chip — similar to the technology used in passports and credit cards. This means your crypto funds are safe even if your computer or smartphone is hacked.
- ✅ Keeps your crypto keys offline and protected
- 🔒 Works with over 5,000+ cryptocurrencies and tokens
- 🪙 Compatible with popular apps like MetaMask, Trust Wallet, and Binance
- 📲 Easy Bluetooth and USB connectivity options
- 💾 Recoverable with a 24-word recovery phrase
Step-by-Step Setup Guide
To get started, visit the official Ledger.com/Start page. Follow these steps carefully to ensure a safe and smooth installation process:
1. Unbox and Verify
When you receive your Ledger device, make sure the box is sealed and the contents match the official Ledger packaging. This is a vital security step to ensure your wallet hasn’t been tampered with.
2. Download Ledger Live
Ledger Live is the official companion app that connects your device to the blockchain. Download it only from Ledger.com/Start for Windows, macOS, Linux, or mobile platforms.
3. Set Up a New Wallet
Once installed, choose “Set up as new device.” You’ll be prompted to create a PIN code — a security feature that locks your wallet if lost or stolen.
4. Write Down Your Recovery Phrase
The most important part of the setup process is your 24-word recovery phrase. Write it down carefully on the recovery sheet provided and store it somewhere offline and secure. Never take a digital photo of it or share it with anyone.
5. Install Crypto Apps
Through Ledger Live, you can install applications for your preferred cryptocurrencies — Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and thousands more. Each app allows the Ledger device to manage transactions securely.
6. Add Accounts and Start Transacting
Add your crypto accounts to Ledger Live and start sending, receiving, or staking assets directly from the interface. Your private keys never leave the hardware wallet, even while transacting.
