About Ledger Start
Ledger Start is the official platform to begin your journey with Ledger hardware wallets. Whether you own a Ledger Nano X, Nano S Plus, or Ledger Stax, this is where you’ll set up your wallet, secure your recovery phrase, and understand how to manage your crypto securely.
The setup process is designed for simplicity and safety. At Ledger.com/Start, users are guided step-by-step to install the Ledger Live app, connect their device, and activate their crypto wallet. The interface ensures even first-time users can confidently handle digital assets.
Getting Started: Step by Step
Begin by unboxing your Ledger device and visiting the official site. Download the Ledger Live application on your computer or smartphone. Once installed, connect your Ledger via USB or Bluetooth and follow the on-screen instructions to initialize your device.
During setup, you’ll be provided with a 24-word recovery phrase. This phrase is the master key to your wallet — never share or store it digitally. Write it down on paper and keep it offline. It’s the only way to restore your funds if your device is lost or replaced.
Why Choose Ledger?
Ledger wallets use state-of-the-art Secure Element chips — the same technology used in passports and credit cards — to protect your private keys. Unlike hot wallets or exchanges, Ledger ensures your keys remain offline and safe from hackers.
With the Ledger Live app, you can buy, send, receive, and stake over 5,500 crypto assets. It also connects to Web3 apps, allowing you to explore DeFi, NFTs, and staking with complete control.
Your Security, Your Control
Ledger believes ownership equals freedom. With Ledger Start, your digital assets are stored securely under your control — not in the hands of a third party. The intuitive setup and continuous updates make Ledger one of the most trusted names in the crypto industry.
