Getting Started at Ledger.com/start

To begin, visit Ledger.com/start — the official setup portal. This ensures that your setup process is safe, genuine, and free from phishing attempts. Here’s a step-by-step guide to get started:

Step 1: Unbox and Verify

After receiving your Ledger device (Nano S Plus or Nano X), make sure the box is sealed and untampered. Inside, you’ll find the device, a USB cable, recovery sheets, and instructions.

  • Do not use a pre-configured device.

  • Always purchase from Ledger.com or authorized resellers to ensure authenticity.

Step 2: Connect and Initialize

Head over to Ledger.com/start and select your device model. Connect your Ledger device to your computer or mobile phone using the provided USB cable or Bluetooth (Nano X only).

  • Follow the on-screen instructions to set up as a new device or restore from a recovery phrase.

  • Choose a secure PIN code to protect physical access to your device.

Step 3: Write Down Your Recovery Phrase

Ledger will generate a unique 24-word recovery phrase. This is your backup. Write it down on the recovery sheet provided and store it in a safe, offline place. Never take a photo or store it online.

  • Tip: Anyone with access to your recovery phrase can access your funds, so treat it like your digital vault key.

Step 4: Install Ledger Live

Download the Ledger Live app from the same setup page at Ledger.com/start. Ledger Live is your control center for managing assets, checking balances, sending and receiving crypto, and accessing web3 apps.

  • Available on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS.

  • Follow the in-app guide to add accounts for each cryptocurrency you want to manage.

Step 5: Add Crypto Assets

Now, you're ready to send, receive, and manage crypto with total security.
