Ledger.com/Start — Your Trusted Setup Hub
Ledger.com/Start is the verified starting point for all Ledger users. It provides official instructions to ensure your hardware wallet is genuine and your funds are safe. Whether you’ve just unboxed your Ledger Nano X, Nano S Plus, or Stax, this page will guide you step-by-step through activation.
First, verify your device’s authenticity. Ledger devices are sealed and packaged with precision. If the box appears tampered with, do not use it — contact Ledger support directly through official channels.
Once verified, power on your device and choose to “Set up as new.” You’ll create a secure PIN and receive a 24-word recovery phrase. Write this phrase down carefully — it is the only way to recover your wallet if your device is lost or reset. Never store it online or share it with anyone.
After setup, visit Ledger.com to download **Ledger Live** — the official companion app. Ledger Live helps you install blockchain apps, check balances, and verify transactions directly from your Ledger device. Always ensure you download from Ledger’s official domain to avoid phishing sites.
Connect your wallet to Ledger Live and complete device verification. Once confirmed, you can add accounts for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other supported assets. Every transaction should be verified on your device screen — this ensures authenticity and protects against malware attacks.
Ledger also provides frequent firmware updates to enhance security. Always perform updates through Ledger Live only. Never input your recovery phrase on any computer or website; Ledger will never ask for it online.
With Ledger.com/Start, you’re not just setting up a device — you’re securing your digital independence. By keeping your private keys offline, your crypto remains in your hands, immune to exchange hacks or data breaches. Start today and manage your crypto with confidence and clarity.
