Getting Started with Ledger
Ledger.com/Start® is your trusted entry point to initialize and configure your Ledger hardware wallet. Whether you own a Ledger Nano X or Nano S Plus, this guide ensures that your wallet is genuine and properly set up to safeguard your cryptocurrencies. With Ledger, your private keys stay inside your device — never exposed to the internet — giving you full control over your digital wealth.
To begin, connect your Ledger device to your computer using the USB cable provided, or use Bluetooth for Nano X. Once connected, visit the official Ledger.com/Start® page to download the Ledger Live app. This app acts as your secure control center for managing your crypto portfolio, installing apps for different coins, and tracking balances in real time.
During setup, your device will ask you to generate a recovery phrase — a unique series of 24 words. Write these words down and store them offline in a safe place. Never share this phrase online or with anyone; it’s the only way to recover your wallet if it’s lost or damaged. Ledger Live will then prompt you to set up a PIN code, adding another layer of protection to your device.
Once initialized, you can install apps for assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and more. Every transaction you make must be confirmed directly on your Ledger device, ensuring that no one can move your funds without your approval. Ledger regularly releases firmware updates to keep your wallet secure against evolving threats, while the open-source Ledger Live app provides transparency and confidence.
Ledger.com/Start® ensures you begin safely and confidently. Always verify that you are on the official website, use the genuine Ledger Live app, and remember — your private keys never leave your device. Protect your crypto assets with Ledger — the most trusted name in digital security.
