Welcome to Ledger Start

Ledger.com/Start® is the official site for initializing and securing your Ledger hardware wallet. This trusted setup guide walks you through every step — from verifying your device to installing the Ledger Live app.

Ledger hardware wallets are trusted by millions of users around the world. With offline private key storage and advanced encryption, they offer the most secure way to manage digital assets.

Step 1 — Visit the Official Ledger Start Page

To begin, open your browser and go to https://www.ledger.com/start. This page ensures you are guided through the authentic Ledger setup process. Avoid any unofficial sources or advertisements that mimic the official Ledger brand.

⚠️ Security Notice: Ledger will never ask for your 24-word recovery phrase. Always set up your device from the official website only.

Step 2 — Download and Install Ledger Live

Ledger Live is the companion app for managing your crypto safely. Download it directly from the Ledger website for your operating system — available for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS.

Ledger Live provides full visibility into your portfolio, lets you install coin apps, stake tokens, and access Web3 applications — all while keeping your private keys offline.

Step 3 — Set Up and Initialize Your Device

Connect your Ledger Nano X, Ledger Nano S Plus, or Ledger Stax to your computer or mobile device. Follow the on-screen instructions in Ledger Live to:

  1. Create a secure PIN code
  2. Write down your 24-word recovery phrase and keep it offline
  3. Confirm each word on your device screen

Your recovery phrase is your master key — store it safely and never share it.

Step 4 — Install Crypto Apps

Using Ledger Live, install the apps for the cryptocurrencies you want to manage — Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and many more. Each app ensures a secure connection between your hardware wallet and the blockchain network.

Step 5 — Manage, Buy, and Stake Securely

Once your setup is complete, Ledger Live allows you to buy, sell, and stake crypto while monitoring your portfolio in real time. With Ledger, your assets stay in your control — protected by hardware-level security.

💡 Pro Tip: Keep your firmware and Ledger Live app updated regularly for maximum protection.

Why Choose Ledger?

Ledger wallets use a Secure Element chip and a proprietary operating system called BOLOS to ensure your private keys never leave the device. This security model is designed to prevent hacking, phishing, and malware attacks that often target online wallets.

By combining convenience with offline security, Ledger gives you total sovereignty over your digital assets.
