Ledger Start® | Get Started with Your Ledger Hardware Wallet

In the rapidly growing world of cryptocurrency, owning your assets securely is more important than ever. While online exchanges and software wallets provide convenience, they come with risks—including hacking, data breaches, and unauthorized access. Ledger hardware wallets were built to solve these problems by giving users full control and offline security. If you’ve recently purchased a Ledger Nano X, Ledger Nano S Plus, or another Ledger device, the first step is to set everything up through Ledger Start®. By visiting Ledger.com/start, users can initialize their device, install the Ledger Live app, create a secure recovery phrase, and start managing digital assets safely.

What is Ledger Start®?

Ledger Start® is the official onboarding and setup process for all Ledger hardware wallets. It guides new users step-by-step to ensure the device is configured correctly and securely. Through Ledger.com/start, you’ll find instructions for:

  • Installing the Ledger Live application
  • Setting up your PIN code
  • Generating and storing your 24-word recovery phrase
  • Adding cryptocurrency accounts
  • Sending and receiving crypto securely

The platform is designed for both beginners and advanced investors, with clear instructions and safety recommendations to protect your portfolio.

How to Set Up Your Ledger Wallet Using Ledger Start®

Follow these essential steps to get started:

1. Go to the Official Setup Page

Open your browser and visit the official setup link:
👉 https://www.Ledger.com/start

You will be guided to select your device (Ledger Nano X, Nano S Plus, or Stax) and start the configuration process.

2. Download and Install Ledger Live

After selecting your device, you’ll be prompted to download Ledger Live, the official application for managing your crypto. Ledger Live supports Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.

From the same secure page—Ledger.com/start—you can download the latest version. Never install Ledger software from unofficial websites.

3. Initialize Your Device

Connect your hardware wallet using USB (or Bluetooth for Nano X). The device will request that you:

  • Set a 4–8 digit PIN code
  • Write down the 24-word recovery phrase

These steps are critical. Your recovery phrase is the only backup to restore your assets if the device is lost or damaged. Ledger will never ask for it—if anyone does, it’s a scam.

4. Verify Your Recovery Phrase

The device checks that you have written all 24 words correctly. Never store them digitally or take photos; use paper or steel backup storage instead.
