Welcome to Ledger.com/Start®, the official setup page for all Ledger hardware wallets. Ledger devices, including the Ledger Nano X and Ledger Nano S Plus, are designed to keep your cryptocurrencies safe, accessible, and under your full control. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know to start using your Ledger device — from unboxing to managing your crypto assets securely.
Inside your Ledger box, you will find:
Always ensure that the packaging is sealed and intact. If it appears tampered with, do not use the device and contact Ledger Support immediately through the official website.
Using your computer or smartphone, open your browser and go to Ledger.com/Start. This is the only official setup page. Avoid searching for download links elsewhere to prevent phishing risks. The page will guide you to download the Ledger Live app — the central platform where you will set up, manage, and update your device.
Ledger Live is available for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. Follow the on-screen instructions on Ledger.com/Start to download the correct version for your device. After installation, open Ledger Live and follow the prompts to connect your Ledger wallet.
You’ll be guided through device setup, PIN code creation, and recovery phrase generation. Your 24-word recovery phrase is the single most important security element. Write it down carefully on the recovery sheets provided and store it in a secure, offline location. Never take a photo or share it online.
Once your device is initialized and connected, you can install cryptocurrency apps through Ledger Live. Each app represents a blockchain network (for example, Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Solana). Install the apps for the assets you own, and then add corresponding accounts within Ledger Live to view balances and make transactions.
Ledger supports thousands of coins and tokens, allowing you to manage diverse assets securely in one place.
With your Ledger device and Ledger Live, you can:
Every transaction must be confirmed physically on your Ledger device, ensuring maximum protection against online threats.
If you encounter issues during setup or use, visit the official Ledger Support Center for troubleshooting guides, FAQs, and live chat options.
Remember: Ledger employees will never ask for your recovery phrase or private information. Always verify you are on the official Ledger website before entering any sensitive data.
Your Ledger device gives you complete ownership and control of your digital assets. By following these simple steps on Ledger.com/Start, you can enjoy the highest standard of crypto security available today. Take charge of your financial freedom — securely, confidently, and independently.
