Welcome to the Official Ledger Start Page
At Ledger.com/Start, your journey toward self-custody and true crypto ownership begins. Ledger hardware wallets — including the Nano X and Nano S Plus — are built to protect your private keys offline, far from the reach of hackers and malicious software. Setting up your Ledger device properly is the first step to securing your digital wealth for years to come.
To get started, connect your Ledger device to your computer or smartphone using the provided USB or Bluetooth connection. Visit Ledger.com/start and download the latest version of Ledger Live — the official companion app that allows you to manage your cryptocurrencies, install apps, and check your balance in real time.
Once installed, follow the guided steps in Ledger Live to initialize your wallet. Create a new wallet or restore a previous one using your 24-word recovery phrase. Write your recovery phrase carefully and store it offline in a safe location. Never share it with anyone — not even Ledger support. It is the only key to recover your funds if the device is lost or damaged.
Next, set a secure PIN code and enable optional passphrase protection for extra privacy. With Ledger’s advanced Secure Element chip, your private keys never leave the device. You maintain complete ownership of your assets, while Ledger Live offers easy access to buy, swap, and stake crypto across multiple networks.
Ledger stands for transparency and independence. Its open-source software and verified hardware ensure trust at every level. Whether you’re managing Bitcoin, Ethereum, or NFTs, Ledger provides the safest bridge between your digital and physical worlds. Begin your secure setup now at Ledger.com/Start — and experience the confidence of total crypto control.
