Welcome to the official Ledger Start page — your step-by-step guide to setting up your Ledger hardware wallet safely, downloading Ledger Live, and protecting your digital assets.

Set Up Your Ledger Wallet the Right Way

The Ledger.com/Start® portal is the most secure way to begin using your Ledger device. It ensures you download authentic software, initialize your wallet correctly, and protect your crypto with verified security standards. Your setup experience here defines the safety of your entire portfolio.

Start Ledger Setup

1. Install Ledger Live

Begin by downloading the official Ledger Live app only from Ledger.com/Start. This trusted software lets you install crypto apps, manage your assets, and verify firmware updates. Avoid third-party links or modified software — only the original app guarantees security.

2. Connect & Initialize Your Device

Plug in your Ledger Nano X, S Plus, or Stax. Follow the on-screen steps to generate a recovery phrase. Write down every word carefully — this is your master key. Keep it safe, offline, and never share it.

3. Secure Your Recovery Phrase

Your 24-word phrase protects access to your assets. Store it away from your device and never type it into a browser or photo. Ledger devices are designed to keep your keys isolated and your funds safe.

4. Verify Firmware Authenticity

Ledger Live automatically verifies your firmware version. Always confirm authenticity on your device screen. This prevents any tampering attempts and ensures full device integrity.

5. Manage Assets Securely

Once set up, use Ledger Live to manage, stake, or send crypto securely. All actions require confirmation on your Ledger device — giving you full control and peace of mind.

Ledger.com/Start® helps users complete setup with confidence. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced trader, this guide ensures a verified, safe start for all Ledger hardware devices.
