Welcome to Ledger.com/Start, your official onboarding destination for setting up a Ledger wallet. Whether you own a Ledger Nano X or Nano S Plus, this setup page ensures your digital assets stay safe, private, and always under your control.
When you unbox your Ledger, check that the tamper-proof seal is intact. Visit Ledger.com/Start to verify authenticity. Ledger never ships devices with pre-set PINs or recovery phrases — always generate yours privately.
Go to the official site and download Ledger Live for your operating system. This app connects your hardware wallet to your portfolio dashboard, enabling you to manage over 5,000 assets securely.
Follow the instructions on-screen to create a new PIN and note your 24-word recovery phrase. Keep it offline and never share it. Your recovery phrase is the master key to your funds — Ledger support will never ask for it.
Once initialized, connect your device via USB or Bluetooth. Open Ledger Live and add your first crypto accounts. All private keys stay locked inside your Ledger device — transactions must be approved physically.
Through Ledger Live, you can buy, sell, exchange, or stake crypto. Every operation is confirmed on your device, protecting your funds from phishing or malware attacks. Stay updated using Ledger’s official status page.
Ledger.com/Start is the only authorized setup page for Ledger devices. It provides step-by-step verified instructions to avoid counterfeit apps or sites. Using the official link ensures firmware authenticity and protects you from fake download scams.
Ledger’s security model is built on a dual layer: hardware-level isolation and cryptographic verification. The Start page helps you initialize correctly, so your wallet remains immune to software compromises.
