About Ledger.com/Start®

Ledger.com/Start® is the official onboarding portal for all Ledger devices, including the Ledger Nano X and Ledger Nano S Plus. Here, you’ll find verified instructions to download Ledger Live, set up your wallet, and safely manage your crypto assets in one secure place.

Step 1: Visit the Official Website

To begin, open your browser and go directly to Ledger.com/Start®. Avoid using search-engine results or third-party links — the official website ensures your setup files are legitimate and your wallet stays secure.

Step 2: Install Ledger Live

Ledger Live is the official companion app for your Ledger device. It allows you to manage, buy, swap, and stake cryptocurrencies all in one place — with the highest level of security.

• Download Ledger Live for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, or Android.
• Install the app and launch it.
• Choose Get Started and select your Ledger model.

Step 3: Set Up Your Device

Connect your Ledger Nano X or S Plus using the provided USB cable. The setup wizard in Ledger Live will guide you through:

1. Setting up as a new device or restoring from recovery phrase.
2. Choosing a strong, unique PIN code on your Ledger device.
3. Recording your 24-word recovery phrase on the supplied recovery sheet.
4. Verifying your recovery phrase on the device screen.

Step 4: Secure Your Wallet

Your recovery phrase is the most important part of your setup. It gives full access to your crypto if your device is lost or damaged. To protect your funds:

• Keep the phrase completely offline — never photograph or store it digitally.
• Do not share it with anyone, including Ledger employees.
• Only download updates or software from Ledger.com.
• Verify every transaction directly on your device screen before confirming.

Step 5: Add Crypto Accounts

In Ledger Live, you can install specific crypto apps (such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Solana) onto your device. Once installed, add accounts within the app to view balances and manage transactions easily.

Ledger supports thousands of crypto assets, giving you one secure place to manage your portfolio — whether it’s Bitcoin, NFTs, or DeFi tokens.

Step 6: Explore Ledger Live Features

Beyond storage, Ledger Live provides access to staking, swapping, and buying crypto — all while your private keys remain locked in your hardware wallet. It also integrates with Web3 dApps, giving you safe access to decentralized finance and NFT platforms.
