Welcome to Ledger.com/Start®
Ledger.com/Start® is your official starting point for activating a Ledger hardware wallet. Whether you have a Ledger Nano S Plus or Nano X, this page provides trusted setup instructions straight from Ledger. It ensures that your first steps into the world of crypto ownership are secure and foolproof.
Setting Up Safely
Begin by connecting your wallet to your computer or smartphone. You'll be prompted to set a strong PIN code — your first line of protection. Immediately after, you’ll receive your unique 24-word recovery phrase. This phrase is the master backup to your wallet. Write it down carefully on the provided recovery sheet and never store it digitally.
Using Ledger Live
Once initialized, download the official Ledger Live application. Within this app, you can install specific crypto apps, manage your accounts, send, receive, and even stake coins. Ledger Live serves as your control center, but your keys remain locked inside your hardware wallet, away from online threats.
Why It Matters
Unlike hot wallets or custodial exchanges, Ledger hardware wallets paired with Ledger.com/Start® ensure that you retain full ownership of your assets. Security starts at setup, and the official guide prevents common mistakes that could make funds vulnerable. Following these steps provides peace of mind for both new and advanced crypto users.
Best Practices
Always verify you are on the official site before entering instructions or downloading software. Never share your recovery phrase, and regularly keep your device firmware updated. With these practices, Ledger guarantees the highest level of protection for your digital assets.
