Welcome to ledger.com/start — Your Gateway to Secure Crypto Management

Getting started with your Ledger hardware wallet is easy, secure, and straightforward. At ledger.com/start, you’ll find everything you need to set up your device, manage your assets, and ensure the highest level of security for your crypto holdings.

Whether you're new to cryptocurrencies or an experienced investor, Ledger offers a trusted solution to protect your digital wealth. Let’s walk through how to begin.

Why Start with Ledger?

Ledger is a global leader in security solutions for digital assets. With millions of devices sold in over 200 countries, Ledger provides you with peace of mind when managing your cryptocurrency. By visiting ledger.com/start, you're taking the first step toward controlling your own private keys and protecting your assets from online threats.

Step 1: Unbox Your Ledger Device

Once you’ve purchased a Ledger hardware wallet—such as the Ledger Nano S Plus or Ledger Nano X—you’re ready to begin.

At ledger.com/start, you'll find official instructions to:

  • Verify that your device is genuine
  • Download Ledger Live — the official companion app
  • Begin the initial setup process

Make sure your box includes the Ledger device, a USB cable, a recovery sheet, and key documentation. Never use a preconfigured device. Your security starts with a verified setup.

Step 2: Download and Install Ledger Live

Ledger Live is the official app to manage your crypto assets. You can download it safely from ledger.com/start for desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux) or mobile (iOS, Android).

With Ledger Live, you can:

  • Set up your hardware wallet step-by-step
  • Create and secure your recovery phrase
  • Install apps for your favorite crypto assets
  • Send, receive, and stake cryptocurrencies

Ledger Live connects seamlessly with your device, allowing you to interact with blockchain networks without ever exposing your private keys online.

Step 3: Set Up Your Ledger Wallet

Once Ledger Live is installed, the guided setup will walk you through:

  • Choosing a secure PIN code
  • Writing down your 24-word recovery phrase (DO NOT store it online)
  • Confirming your recovery phrase for backup verification

Your recovery phrase is the only backup of your wallet. Keep it offline and secure—Ledger does not store this information and cannot recover it for you.

Step 4: Add Crypto Accounts and Manage Assets

After setup, you can start adding accounts in Ledger Live for coins like:

  • Bitcoin (BTC)
  • Ethereum (ETH)
  • Solana (SOL)
  • Cardano (ADA)
  • XRP, DOT, and hundreds more

Ledger supports over 5,000 tokens and coins. You can check the full list on ledger.com/start under "Supported Assets".

You can also:

  • View your portfolio in real-time
  • Buy crypto with trusted partners
  • Swap tokens directly from Ledger Live
  • Earn rewards through staking

Everything is secured through your Ledger hardware wallet, ensuring your private keys never leave the device.

Step 5: Stay Secure & Informed

Crypto security is essential. At ledger.com/start, you’ll also find security tips, firmware update guides, and answers to common questions in the Help Center.

Here are a few must-follow safety rules:

  • Never share your recovery phrase with anyone
  • Always verify transactions on your Ledger screen
  • Avoid phishing links—only visit official sites like ledger.com/start

Ledger regularly updates its firmware and Ledger Live software to enhance security and add new features. Keep your device up to date for the best experience.
