Welcome to Ledger.com/start

Ledger.com/start is the official platform to begin setting up your Ledger hardware wallet. Whether you're using a Ledger Nano S Plus, Ledger Nano X, or Ledger Stax, this guide ensures you initialize and secure your device properly.


Step-by-Step Setup Process
  1. Unbox Your Device
    Make sure the packaging is intact and that the device is not preconfigured. Ledger devices are shipped with a tamper-proof seal.
  2. Download Ledger Live
    Ledger Live is the official app used to manage your crypto assets. It is available for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS.
  3. Initialize the Device
  • Connect your Ledger device to your computer or mobile device.
  • Choose "Set up as new device."
  • Create a secure PIN code.
  • Write down your 24-word recovery phrase and store it securely offline.
  1. Verify Recovery Phrase
    You'll be asked to confirm a few words from your recovery phrase to ensure it’s correctly backed up.
  2. Pair with Ledger Live
  • Open Ledger Live.
  • Follow the prompts to connect your device.
  • Install apps for the cryptocurrencies you want to manage.

Security Tips
  • Always access Ledger Live or setup instructions by manually typing ledger.com/start into your browser.
  • Never share your 24-word recovery phrase with anyone. Ledger will never ask for it.
  • Avoid third-party sites or unofficial apps when setting up or managing your wallet.
  • Store your recovery phrase offline in a secure location. Do not store it digitally (e.g., in cloud storage, screenshots, or notes apps).
