Welcome to Ledger.com/Start — Your Official Setup Portal
Welcome to Ledger.com/Start, the official platform for setting up and securing your Ledger hardware wallet. This guide is designed to help you safely initialize your Ledger Nano X, Nano S Plus, or Stax device, connect it to Ledger Live, and safeguard your cryptocurrency portfolio.
Begin by unboxing your Ledger device and connecting it to your computer using the provided USB cable. Visit Ledger.com/Start to download the official Ledger Live application — available for Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile. Make sure you are on the genuine Ledger website to avoid phishing risks or malicious software.
After installation, open Ledger Live and choose “Set up a new device.” Follow the guided steps displayed on your Ledger screen to create your wallet. You’ll be asked to confirm a 24-word recovery phrase — this phrase is your only backup. Write it down carefully on the provided recovery sheet and store it securely offline, away from cameras and networks.
Once the setup is complete, create a strong PIN for your device. Your private keys are generated inside the secure chip and never leave your Ledger — meaning even a compromised computer cannot access your crypto funds. With Ledger Live, you can now send, receive, stake, and monitor your assets across multiple blockchains in one intuitive dashboard.
The Ledger.com/Start process emphasizes trust, transparency, and security. Always install updates directly from Ledger Live and verify firmware authenticity through your device display. Remember: if it’s not verified on your Ledger screen, it’s not confirmed.
Owning a Ledger means owning your future. By following these steps, you’re not only securing digital assets but also embracing the philosophy of true financial sovereignty. Keep your crypto safe, and let Ledger guard what matters most — your keys, your control.
