Begin Your Secure Crypto Journey at Ledger.com/start

Welcome to Ledger.com/start, the official onboarding portal designed to guide you through setting up your Ledger hardware wallet with ease and security. Whether you're new to crypto or looking to upgrade your security, Ledger.com/start is your trusted first step.

Why Ledger.com/start Matters

The most common threat to crypto investors is poor security, not market volatility. Ledger, a leading hardware wallet provider, emphasizes self-custody — meaning you control your private keys offline. Ledger.com/start ensures you download the genuine Ledger Live app, correctly initialize your device, and follow best practices so you avoid counterfeits and phishing risks.

What to Prepare Before You Start

Your Ledger device (e.g. Nano X, Nano S Plus, or Ledger Stax)
A computer or smartphone with internet access
The USB cable included
Pen and the blank recovery sheets in the box
A calm, distraction-free environment

Step-by-Step Setup via Ledger.com/start

Visit the Official Portal
Type Ledger.com/start directly into your browser (never via ads or links).
Download Ledger Live
Choose the version that matches your operating system — Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, or iOS (confirmed via Ledger’s official site) Ledger+1
Initialize Your Hardware Wallet
Connect your device, choose “Set up as new device,” set a PIN, and write down your 24-word recovery phrase on paper (never save it digitally).
Verify and Confirm
Select each recovery word in order on the device to confirm accuracy.
Install Crypto Apps & Add Accounts
In Ledger Live’s “Manager,” install the blockchain apps you need (e.g. Bitcoin, Ethereum). Then under “Accounts,” add the desired crypto accounts.
Start Managing Assets
Send, receive, stake, or swap supported cryptos — all from one secure dashboard.
