In the rapidly evolving world of digital assets, security is no longer optional—it’s essential. Whether you're investing in Bitcoin, Ethereum, NFTs, or DeFi tokens, protecting your crypto holdings with a trusted hardware wallet is critical. Ledger®, a global leader in cryptocurrency security, offers industry-standard hardware wallets that empower you to take full control of your digital assets.

To begin your journey with Ledger®, the best place to start is the official site: Ledger.com/Start. This secure portal will guide you through every step of setting up your device, installing the Ledger Live app, and managing your assets with confidence.

What Is Ledger®?

Ledger® is a hardware wallet solution that stores your private keys offline—away from the internet—greatly reducing the risk of theft, phishing, and hacking. Ledger® supports over 5,000 cryptocurrencies and tokens, including:

  • Bitcoin (BTC)
  • Ethereum (ETH) and ERC-20 tokens
  • Solana (SOL)
  • Binance Smart Chain (BSC) tokens
  • Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs)

Ledger’s hardware wallets include:

  • Ledger Nano S Plus – affordable and secure for beginners and advanced users
  • Ledger Nano X – supports Bluetooth for mobile use
  • Ledger Stax – premium touchscreen device for advanced management

No matter which device you use, Ledger.com/Start® ensures a safe and official setup process.

Why Start at Ledger.com/Start®?

Ledger.com/Start is the only trusted official portal for setting up your Ledger® wallet. Using this link protects you from counterfeit products, phishing scams, and fake software downloads.

Here’s what you get at Ledger.com/Start:

  • Verified step-by-step device setup
  • Access to the latest Ledger Live software
  • Security tips to keep your crypto safe
  • Easy guidance tailored to your device model

What’s Inside the Box?

When you unbox your Ledger® hardware wallet, it should include:

  • The Ledger® device
  • USB cable
  • Recovery sheets (for your 24-word seed phrase)
  • Quick start guide
  • Optional accessories (keychain, stickers, etc.)

Always inspect the packaging for tampering. Ledger never provides a pre-written recovery phrase—if your device includes one, do not use it. This is a sign of fraud.

Step-by-Step Setup Guide

1. Visit Ledger.com/Start

Go to https://www.ledger.com/start and choose your Ledger® device model (Nano S Plus, Nano X, or Stax). You’ll be guided to the proper setup instructions.

2. Download Ledger Live

Download Ledger Live, the official application for managing your crypto portfolio. Available for:

  • Desktop: Windows, macOS, Linux
  • Mobile: iOS and Android (Nano X and Stax via Bluetooth)

Ledger Live is where you install apps, view balances, send and receive crypto, and track portfolio performance.

3. Set Up as a New Device

Connect your Ledger® device and select "Set up as new device." You’ll then:

  • Create a PIN code (used to unlock the device)
  • Generate a 24-word recovery phrase
⚠️ Important Security Tip:
Write down the 24 words exactly in the order shown and store them offline in a secure location. Never take a photo, email it, or store it digitally.

Your 24-word seed is the only way to recover your assets if the device is lost or damaged.

4. Confirm Recovery Phrase

After writing down your seed phrase, Ledger will ask you to confirm a few randomly selected words to verify that it was written down correctly.

Once confirmed, your wallet is now secure and ready to use.

5. Install Cryptocurrency Apps

In Ledger Live, you’ll be prompted to install apps for each type of crypto you want to manage (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum). Each app allows your device to interact securely with that specific blockchain.

After installing, you can create accounts in Ledger Live and start sending or receiving crypto.

6. Optional Features and Tools

Ledger also offers advanced tools to enhance your experience:

  • NFT management (Ethereum & Polygon)
  • DeFi access through WalletConnect & web integrations
  • Buy/swap crypto directly through trusted partners
  • Ledger Recover (optional encrypted backup service for your seed phrase)
  • Custom passphrases for extra wallet layers

These features help you tailor your wallet to your personal security and portfolio needs.

Ongoing Security Best Practices

  • Always access setup and downloads via Ledger.com/Start
  • Never enter your recovery phrase on a website or share it with anyone
  • Keep your firmware updated via Ledger Live
  • Use only official Ledger apps and verified third-party integrations
  • Store your recovery sheet in a fireproof or metal recovery backup
