Official Site® | Ledgér.com/Start® | Getting Started — Ledger

As cryptocurrency adoption continues to grow, the need for secure and user-friendly storage solutions becomes increasingly important. Ledger®, a global leader in crypto security, provides cutting-edge hardware wallets like the Ledger Nano S Plus and Ledger Nano X, which enable users to store, manage, and grow their digital assets securely. If you're just getting started, the best place to begin is the official Ledger onboarding site: Ledgér.com/Start.

This guide explains how to use Ledger.com/Start® to set up your device safely, protect your assets, and confidently navigate the crypto world.

Why Use Ledger?

Ledger’s hardware wallets are trusted by millions of users worldwide because they offer:

  • Offline storage (cold wallet security)
  • Private key control by the user
  • Compatibility with hundreds of cryptocurrencies
  • Integration with popular apps like MetaMask and exchanges

By using Ledger, you take full control of your crypto—not a third party.

Step-by-Step: Getting Started with Ledger

To begin using your Ledger device securely, follow these steps through the official setup site: www.ledger.com/start. Always make sure you're on the correct domain to avoid phishing attempts.

Step 1: Unbox and Verify

Once you receive your Ledger Nano device:

  • Check the box for tampering. Ledger devices come in sealed packaging.
  • Go to Ledger.com/Start to confirm your product is genuine by following the instructions in the verification step.

Step 2: Download Ledger Live

The next step is to download Ledger Live, Ledger's companion app that allows you to:

  • Manage multiple assets and accounts
  • Send and receive crypto
  • Check real-time balances
  • Install apps for each crypto asset

Download Ledger Live only from the official site: ledger.com/ledger-live

Step 3: Set Up Your Device

Once Ledger Live is installed:

  • Connect your Ledger Nano to your computer or mobile device using a USB cable or Bluetooth (Nano X only).
  • Follow on-screen instructions to:
  • Choose a PIN code
  • Write down your 24-word recovery phrase
  • Confirm the phrase (this is your backup—never share it with anyone or store it digitally)

Step 4: Install Crypto Apps

To manage specific cryptocurrencies, you’ll need to install apps (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum) on your device via Ledger Live. You can then:

  • Create or import wallets
  • View balances
  • Send/receive transactions

Safety First: What to Avoid

🔒 Never Share Your Recovery Phrase

Your 24-word recovery phrase is the only way to recover your funds if your device is lost, stolen, or reset. If anyone else gains access to it, they can steal your assets. Ledger will never ask for this.

🛑 Watch for Fake Sites

Cybercriminals create fake Ledger sites with similar URLs to trick users. Always verify you're on the correct website:
 👉 https://www.ledger.com/start

📦 Buy From Authorized Sources

Purchase devices directly from Ledger.com or an official reseller to avoid compromised products.

If you run into issues, Ledger has a reliable support system:

  • Visit the Help Center: support.ledger.com
  • Check community forums on Reddit and Discord
  • Submit a support ticket if needed—support agents will never ask for your recovery phrase
