Welcome! Ledger.com/Start is the trusted launchpad for safely setting up your Ledger hardware wallet, so you can manage your digital assets with peace of mind and full control.
Step-by-Step Setup
- Visit ledger.com/start and download the Ledger Live app for your OS.
- Connect your Ledger Nano X/S Plus/Stax to your device with the USB cable.
- Launch Ledger Live and select “Set up as new device”.
Follow instructions on your Ledger device's screen. - Choose and confirm a secure 4-8 digit PIN code directly on the device.
- Carefully write down your 24-word recovery phrase, keep it offline, and never share it!
- Verify your phrase — Ledger will ask you to confirm each word.
- Finish setup, then in Ledger Live’s “Manager”, install apps for the cryptocurrencies you want.
- Add accounts, send or receive crypto, and monitor your assets directly in Ledger Live.
Security Reminders:
- Only download Ledger Live/App from ledger.com.
- NEVER share your PIN or your 24-word phrase - Ledger staff will never ask for it.
- Keep your recovery phrase in a safe, offline location.
- Confirm all transactions physically on your device screen before approving.
- Update your Ledger device firmware and Ledger Live for maximum protection.
- If you need help, use only the official Ledger support and help center.
- Enable “genuine check” via Ledger Live to confirm device integrity.
- Consider using a passphrase for extra protection over the 24 words.
- For travel: keep your recovery phrase separate from your Ledger device.
