Welcome to the official starting point for all Ledger users. Learn how to configure your device, install Ledger Live, and protect your recovery phrase — ensuring total control and maximum security for your digital assets.
Begin your journey at Ledger.com/Start, the only official place to initialize your Ledger hardware wallet securely. Whether you’re setting up a Ledger Nano X or Nano S Plus, this page walks you through every step with clarity and confidence.
Connect your Ledger device to your computer or smartphone. Once connected, follow the on-screen prompts to download and install the Ledger Live application — your all-in-one platform for buying, managing, and staking crypto safely. Ledger Live ensures a verified and seamless setup experience for beginners and experts alike.
During setup, you’ll be prompted to create a PIN and record your 24-word recovery phrase. This phrase is your personal key to restoring access if your device is lost or reset. Always write it down on paper and store it in a safe, offline location. Never share or photograph it — not even with Ledger’s team.
Once your wallet is initialized, open Ledger Live to add your preferred cryptocurrencies. You can view balances, send and receive coins, explore Web3 apps, and stake tokens directly — all secured by the Ledger hardware wallet’s offline protection.
At Ledger.com/Start, security is our top priority. Each transaction must be physically confirmed on your device screen, preventing malware or phishing attacks. Combined with open-source transparency and regular updates, Ledger provides unmatched peace of mind for millions of users globally.
