Setting up your Ledger device – Step-by-Step
Welcome to the official Ledger.com/Start page. If you’re ready to safeguard your cryptocurrency and explore the world of self-custody, you’re in the right place. Ledger devices, including the Ledger Nano X and Ledger Nano S Plus, are designed to protect your private keys from online threats and hackers. Each device provides an unmatched balance of convenience, control, and security for managing your digital assets.
To get started, first unpack your Ledger device and connect it via USB or Bluetooth. You’ll be prompted to set a PIN code and write down your 24-word recovery phrase. This phrase is your only backup — keep it private, safe, and offline. Never share it with anyone, and never enter it on any website other than the official Ledger.com/Start.
Next, download the Ledger Live application from the official website. Ledger Live allows you to manage your assets, check balances, send and receive crypto, and install apps for different blockchains. It’s compatible with Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS. Always ensure you download only from the official Ledger site to avoid counterfeit software.
Once Ledger Live is installed, follow the guided setup to connect your device. You’ll be able to install apps like Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Solana and create secure accounts. Every transaction must be confirmed directly on your Ledger device screen, ensuring no unauthorized action occurs. Your keys never leave the hardware wallet — not even Ledger has access to them.
Remember: owning crypto means taking responsibility for your own security. Ledger makes it easy with world-class hardware, a clean interface, and industry-leading protection. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned investor, Ledger.com/Start ensures your setup is quick, safe, and seamless.
