🔐 Ledger.com/Start – Getting Started with Your Ledger Device

Ledger.com/start is the official onboarding and setup page for Ledger hardware wallets, including Ledger Nano S Plus, Ledger Nano X, and Ledger Stax. These devices are designed to securely store your cryptocurrency assets offline, protecting them from hackers and malware.

Whether you’re new to crypto or transferring from another wallet, this guide will help you start using your Ledger wallet safely.

✅ Step-by-Step: How to Start with Ledger

1. Go to the Official Website

Visit: https://www.ledger.com/start

⚠️ Security Tip: Always type the URL manually or use a verified link. Look for “https://” and check for spelling errors to avoid phishing scams.

2. Choose Your Device

Select your specific device:

• Ledger Nano S Plus
• Ledger Nano X
• Ledger Stax

Each model has a different interface and features (Bluetooth, screen size, etc.), but the setup process is similar.

3. Download Ledger Live

You’ll be prompted to download Ledger Live, the official app for managing your crypto with a Ledger device.

• Available for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android
• Download only from the official Ledger website

4. Install and Launch Ledger Live

Once installed:

• Open the app
• Choose “Get Started”
• Follow the instructions for setting up a new device or restoring a wallet with your recovery phrase

5. Set Up Your Ledger Device

You’ll now go through the setup on your physical Ledger device:

• Choose a PIN: A 4–8 digit code used to unlock your device
• Backup Your Recovery Phrase: Your device will generate a 24-word seed phrase
  • Write it down on paper using the recovery sheet provided
  • Do not take photos or store it digitally

This seed phrase is your only backup. Losing it means losing access to your crypto.

6. Verify Recovery Phrase

Ledger will ask you to confirm some of the 24 words to ensure you've written them down correctly.

7. Access Your Wallet in Ledger Live

Once your device is initialized, you can:

• Add accounts for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other coins
• Send and receive crypto
• Buy, sell, or stake assets (via third-party services integrated into Ledger Live)

🛡️ Important Security Reminders

• Ledger will never ask for your 24-word recovery phrase
• Only enter the seed phrase on your Ledger device, not your computer or phone
• Enable passphrase protection if you want an added layer of security

🚀 You’re Ready to Go

With your Ledger wallet and Ledger Live set up, you can now securely manage your crypto portfolio. Ledger.com/Start makes onboarding easy while maintaining industry-leading security for your digital assets.
