About Ledger.com/Start
Ledger.com/Start is the verified portal where new Ledger users begin their journey into self-custody. Whether you own a Ledger Nano X, Nano S Plus, or Stax, this page will walk you through connecting your wallet, installing Ledger Live, and verifying authenticity to ensure your device is genuine and uncompromised.
Begin by connecting your Ledger wallet to your computer or smartphone using the original USB cable or Bluetooth pairing (for Nano X). Download the official Ledger Live app only from Ledger.com/Start to avoid counterfeit software. Once installed, follow the prompts to initialize your wallet, set a PIN, and record your 24-word recovery phrase securely offline.
Your recovery phrase is the master key to your assets. Keep it private and never store it digitally or share it with anyone. Ledger’s hardware design ensures that private keys never leave your device — providing the highest level of protection against online threats and unauthorized access.
Once your setup is complete, Ledger Live allows you to manage, send, and receive cryptocurrencies across multiple blockchains. You can monitor portfolio value, stake supported assets, and connect to DeFi apps — all through a secure and verified environment.
At Ledger.com/Start, we are committed to empowering users with full control over their digital assets. Our mission is to make crypto ownership safe, accessible, and transparent for everyone. Follow this official setup guide to ensure your wallet and funds are protected with the strongest hardware-based security in the world.
