If you have recently purchased a Ledger device, Ledger.com/Start® is the official and safest place to begin your setup journey.

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced crypto user, this step-by-step resource will help you set up your Ledger wallet with confidence.

What Is Ledger.com/Start®?

Ledger.com/Start® is the official onboarding portal provided by Ledger Support™. It ensures users download authentic software, follow verified setup steps, and avoid phishing or counterfeit applications. By starting at this page, users gain access to:

  • Official Ledger Live™ download links
  • Step-by-step device setup instructions
  • Security best practices
  • Educational resources from Ledger Support™

Using the official start page is essential to keeping your crypto assets safe from scams and unauthorized access.

What Comes in the Box?

Before visiting Ledger.com/Start®, confirm that your Ledger device packaging is intact. A standard Ledger box typically includes:

  • Ledger Nano X® or Ledger Nano S Plus® device
  • USB cable
  • Recovery phrase sheets
  • Keychain or accessories (model-dependent)
  • Getting started card

If the box appears tampered with or includes a pre-written recovery phrase, do not use the device and contact Ledger Support™ immediately.

Step 1: Visit Ledger.com/Start®

Open your web browser and manually type Ledger.com/Start® into the address bar. Avoid clicking ads or third-party links. This page automatically guides you based on your specific Ledger device.

From here, you will be prompted to download Ledger Live™, the official desktop and mobile application used to manage your crypto assets.

Step 2: Download and Install Ledger Live™

Ledger Live™ is available for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS. Follow these steps:

  1. Choose your operating system
  2. Download Ledger Live™ from the official site
  3. Install the application
  4. Launch Ledger Live™ and select Get Started

Ledger Live™ acts as the central hub for installing apps, managing accounts, sending and receiving crypto, and tracking your portfolio.

Step 3: Set Up Your Ledger Device

Connect your Ledger device to your computer or smartphone using the provided cable. When prompted:

  • Choose Set up as new device
  • Create a secure PIN code
  • Confirm the PIN on your device

Your PIN protects your Ledger wallet from unauthorized physical access. Choose a PIN that is hard to guess and never share it.

Step 4: Write Down Your Recovery Phrase

One of the most important steps during setup is recording your 24-word recovery phrase. This phrase is the only backup to your wallet and assets.

Important security rules:

  • Write the words down in the correct order
  • Never store the phrase digitally
  • Never share it with anyone
  • Ledger will never ask for your recovery phrase

Store your recovery phrase in a safe, offline location. If your Ledger device is lost or damaged, this phrase allows you to restore access to your crypto.

Step 5: Verify Your Device

Ledger Live™ will guide you through a genuine check to verify that your Ledger device is authentic and secure. This process confirms that your hardware wallet is running official Ledger firmware.

Once verified, your device is ready to use.

Step 6: Install Crypto Apps

Using Ledger Live™, you can install apps for supported cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and many more.

Steps include:

  • Open the My Ledger section
  • Allow access on your device
  • Install the apps you need

Each app allows your Ledger wallet to interact securely with a specific blockchain.

Step 7: Add and Manage Accounts

After installing apps, you can add crypto accounts in Ledger Live™:

  • Click Accounts
  • Select Add account
  • Choose the cryptocurrency
  • Follow on-screen instructions

Once added, you can send, receive, stake, or swap assets directly through Ledger Live™ while keeping your private keys offline.
