What Is Ledger.com/Start®?

Ledger.com/Start® is the official setup page for all Ledger devices, including Ledger Nano X and Ledger Nano S Plus. It provides verified instructions, download links, and support resources directly from the Ledger team — ensuring you avoid phishing or counterfeit sites.

When you visit Ledger.com/Start, you’re guided step-by-step on how to initialize your device, install Ledger Live, and secure your recovery phrase. It’s the safest way to begin using your hardware wallet.

Step-by-Step: How to Get Started

1. Visit the Official Setup Page

Go to Ledger.com/Start® to begin. Always double-check the URL — only use the official Ledger domain to protect your information.

2. Choose Your Device

Select your device type: Ledger Nano X, Nano S Plus, or Ledger Stax. Each has its own setup guide tailored to its features.

3. Download and Install Ledger Live

Ledger Live is the official companion app for managing your crypto. It’s available for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. Use the download link only from the Ledger website to ensure safety.

4. Initialize Your Device

Follow the on-screen instructions on your Ledger wallet. You’ll create a PIN code and receive a 24-word recovery phrase — write it down and keep it offline. This recovery phrase is your master key; never share it or store it digitally.

5. Verify and Connect

Once your device is initialized, connect it to Ledger Live. You can then add your crypto accounts (like Bitcoin, Ethereum, or others), check balances, and send or receive transactions securely.

Key Features of Ledger Devices

1. Unmatched Security

Ledger wallets use a Secure Element chip, similar to those used in passports and credit cards, to protect private keys from hackers and malware.

2. Offline Storage (Cold Wallet)

Your private keys never leave your Ledger device, ensuring your crypto is safe even if your computer or phone is compromised.

3. Ledger Live Integration

The Ledger Live app allows you to manage over 5,000+ cryptocurrencies, stake assets, and track your portfolio — all in one place.

4. Easy Backup and Recovery

With your 24-word recovery phrase, you can easily restore access to your crypto on a new Ledger device if yours is lost or damaged.

5. Regular Firmware Updates

Ledger frequently releases firmware updates to improve performance, enhance security, and support new digital assets.
