Ledger.com/Start - Official Ledger Wallet Setup Guide

Welcome to the Official Ledger Setup Guide

If you’ve just purchased a Ledger hardware wallet, you’re in the right place. Ledger.com/Start is the official onboarding page for setting up your Ledger Nano S, Nano S Plus, or Nano X. This secure and step-by-step guide will help you initialize your device, install Ledger Live, and begin managing your crypto assets safely.

What Is a Ledger Hardware Wallet?

A Ledger hardware wallet is a physical device that securely stores your cryptocurrency private keys offline. This means your digital assets are protected from hackers, malware, and online attacks. Unlike software wallets or centralized exchanges, Ledger gives you full control of your assets.

Ledger devices are equipped with a secure chip and run custom operating systems to keep your private data safe. They are used by millions of people worldwide to manage crypto responsibly and securely.

Why Use Ledger.com/Start?

With growing threats of fake wallets and phishing scams, it's critical to use only the official setup path. Ledger.com/Start provides verified steps, direct access to Ledger Live, and ensures your device is genuine and untampered. Starting here reduces your risk of downloading counterfeit software or exposing your recovery phrase to fraudulent websites.

Step-by-Step Ledger Wallet Setup

1. Unbox Your Ledger Device: Confirm the package is sealed and contains all components — the Ledger device, USB cable, recovery sheets, and instructions.
2. Access Ledger.com/Start: Open your browser and enter the address manually. Do not search for it, as fraudulent links may appear in ads or results.
3. Download Ledger Live: Choose your operating system and install the official Ledger Live software. This app is required to configure your device and manage your assets.
4. Set Up Your Device: Connect the device to your computer. You will be prompted to set a PIN code and write down your 24-word recovery phrase. This phrase is your backup key — store it securely and never share it with anyone.
5. Install Crypto Apps: Using Ledger Live, you can install apps for specific cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and many more.
6. Add Accounts and Manage Assets: Once apps are installed, you can add crypto accounts, receive funds, and track balances through Ledger Live.
