Ledger.com/start™ – Official Guide to Setting Up Your Ledger® Hardware Wallet

Ledger.com/start™ is the official and secure starting point for setting up your Ledger® hardware wallet, including popular models like Ledger Nano S Plus™ and Ledger Nano X™. Using the correct setup page is critical to protecting your digital assets and avoiding phishing attempts. This guide explains how to safely get started using ledger.com/start®, step by step.

What Is Ledger.com/start®?

Ledger.com/start™ is the only official onboarding page provided by Ledger®, a globally trusted brand in crypto security. The page guides users through installing Ledger Live™, verifying their device, creating a PIN, and securely backing up their recovery phrase®. Always ensure the URL is typed correctly to avoid fake or malicious websites.

Step 1: Visit Ledger.com/start™

Open your browser and go directly to ledger.com/start®. From here, select your Ledger® device model. The website automatically redirects you to the correct instructions based on whether you’re using Ledger Nano X™ or Ledger Nano S Plus™.

✔ Tip: Never follow setup links sent through emails or messages—Ledger® never sends setup links.

Step 2: Download Ledger Live™

Once on ledger.com/start™, you’ll be prompted to download Ledger Live™, the official desktop and mobile app. Ledger Live™ allows you to manage crypto assets, install apps, check balances, and approve transactions securely.

Supported operating systems include:

  • Windows®
  • macOS®
  • Linux®
  • Android™
  • iOS®

Always download Ledger Live™ directly from ledger.com/start® to ensure authenticity.

Step 3: Connect and Verify Your Ledger®

After installing Ledger Live™, connect your Ledger® device using a USB cable or Bluetooth® (for Nano X™). The app will verify that your device is genuine, ensuring it hasn’t been tampered with.

This verification step is a key security feature that protects users from counterfeit devices®.

Step 4: Create a PIN Code™

You’ll be asked to create a PIN code™ on your Ledger® device. This PIN protects your wallet if the device is lost or stolen. Choose a unique PIN and never share it with anyone—not even Ledger® support.

Step 5: Secure Your Recovery Phrase®

Your 24-word recovery phrase® is the most important part of the setup process. Write it down on the recovery sheet provided and store it offline in a secure location. Never take screenshots, store it digitally, or share it online.

⚠ Important: Ledger® will never ask for your recovery phrase™.

Step 6: Add Crypto Accounts®

Once setup is complete, use Ledger Live™ to install crypto apps and add accounts for Bitcoin®, Ethereum®, and thousands of other supported assets™. You can now safely send, receive, and manage crypto with full control.

Final Thoughts

Using ledger.com/start™ ensures your Ledger® wallet is set up safely and correctly. By following official instructions, downloading authentic software, and securing your recovery phrase®, you maintain full ownership of your digital assets™.
