Secure your digital future by starting the right way — with Ledger.com/Start®.
Setting up your Ledger hardware wallet through the official Ledger.com/Start® page ensures you’re protected from counterfeit devices, scams, and phishing attacks. This is your verified and trusted source to begin safeguarding your crypto assets with one of the most secure wallets in the world — Ledger.
From the moment you unbox your Ledger device, your goal is simple: take control of your cryptocurrency safely and confidently. Ledger.com/Start® provides everything you need to get started — authentic software downloads, firmware updates, and a guided setup process that ensures your keys remain private at all times.
Begin by connecting your Ledger Nano X or Ledger Nano S Plus to your computer or mobile device. Once connected, you’ll be guided to download Ledger Live — the official companion app that allows you to install apps, manage multiple cryptocurrencies, and monitor your portfolio in real time. Every transaction you approve happens securely on your hardware wallet, keeping your private keys offline and out of reach from hackers.
The setup process will generate a 24-word recovery phrase — your only backup to recover access if your device is lost or damaged. This phrase must never be shared or stored online. Write it on paper and keep it in a safe, offline location. Ledger never stores or knows your seed phrase — only you have full control.
Security is at the core of Ledger’s philosophy. Its hardware wallets are built with a Secure Element chip — the same technology used in passports and credit cards — combined with a custom operating system called BOLOS. This combination provides unmatched protection against malware, tampering, and remote attacks.
Once your wallet is ready, Ledger Live becomes your digital control center. You can send, receive, and exchange cryptocurrencies instantly while verifying every action directly on your device’s screen. Transparency and self-custody ensure you remain the true owner of your assets — no intermediaries, no permissions required.
As digital finance evolves, Ledger.com/Start® continues to be the only official starting point for your Ledger setup. Avoid third-party links or unofficial tools, as they may compromise your security. Trust only the official Ledger ecosystem to keep your investments protected and private.
Your crypto freedom begins with knowledge and the right tools. Start securely, stay private, and own your digital future — with Ledger.
