Ledger.com/Start® | Getting Start With Ledger® Official
Ledger.com/Start is the official onboarding page for users who want to set up their Ledger hardware wallet securely. It serves as the starting point for configuring Ledger devices such as Ledger Nano S Plus and Ledger Nano X, helping users protect their cryptocurrencies with industry-leading security.
To begin, users should visit Ledger.com/Start using a trusted browser and follow the step-by-step instructions provided on the page. The setup process starts by downloading Ledger Live, the official desktop or mobile application used to manage Ledger devices. Ledger Live allows users to install apps, manage crypto accounts, and monitor balances while keeping private keys safely stored on the hardware wallet.
Once Ledger Live is installed, users are guided to connect their Ledger device and create a new wallet or restore an existing one using a recovery phrase. During setup, the device generates a unique 24-word recovery phrase. This phrase is the most important security element of your wallet and must be written down and stored offline in a safe place. Never share it with anyone or enter it on any website.
Ledger.com/Start also provides important security tips to help users avoid phishing attacks and counterfeit devices. Users are encouraged to verify their device authenticity and keep their firmware up to date through Ledger Live. These steps ensure the highest level of protection against online threats.
After setup is complete, users can manage a wide range of cryptocurrencies directly through Ledger Live, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and many other supported assets. The combination of a hardware wallet and Ledger Live offers a strong balance of security and usability.
