What Is Ledger and Why Use Ledger.com/Start?

Ledger is a globally trusted name in crypto security, known for its hardware wallets like Ledger Nano S Plus and Ledger Nano X. The goal of Ledger.com/Start is to help you begin your journey safely with clear, step‑by‑step instructions that align with the official Ledger experience.

Using Ledger.com/Start ensures access to the latest setup process, firmware updates, official Ledger apps, and support tools — all from the official Ledger site.

Step‑by‑Step: How to Set Up Your Ledger Wallet

1. Unbox and Prepare Your Device

When you first receive your Ledger device, make sure it’s sealed and from an authorized seller. The official Ledger boxes include clear labels and tamper‑evident seals.

Confirm you have the Ledger device, USB cable, and recovery card.
Visit the official Ledger Getting Started page through Ledger.com/Start.

2. Install Ledger Live

Ledger’s official desktop and mobile app, Ledger Live, is where you manage accounts and install apps for different cryptocurrencies.

Go to Ledger Live from the link provided on Ledger.com/Start.
Download the version for your operating system (Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android).
Install Ledger Live and follow the on‑screen prompts to pair with your device.

Tip: Always download Ledger Live from the official Ledger site — never from third‑party links.

3. Initialize Your Ledger

Once Ledger Live is installed:

Connect your Ledger device with the USB cable.
Follow the setup wizard in Ledger Live.
Generate your recovery phrase (write it down carefully).
Confirm your recovery phrase exactly as instructed.

Your recovery phrase is the single most important security item for your Ledger wallet.

Understanding Security on Ledger

Ledger is built around protecting your crypto with offline hardware security. Your private keys never leave your device, and all signing happens internally. This means even a compromised computer cannot access your funds.

Always check the device screen during operations.
Never share your recovery phrase with anyone.
Use official Ledger support if unsure.
