This guide walks you step-by-step through the setup process so you protect your digital assets from scams, phishing, or incorrect configurations.

✔️ Why Start at Ledger.com/Start

Ledger hardware wallets (like Nano S Plus, Nano X, or Stax) are designed to keep your private keys offline — away from hackers and online threats. Ledger.com/Start ensures you’re:

Downloading authentic Ledger software

Following official setup instructions

Avoiding scammy or fake websites This secure onboarding process is crucial before accessing or managing any crypto assets.

🛠️ Step-by-Step Setup Guide 1. Prepare Before You Begin

Before visiting the site or setting up your wallet, make sure you have:

Your Ledger hardware device

A computer (Windows, macOS, Linux) or smartphone (iOS or Android)

The USB cable included in your box

A quiet, private place to record your recovery phrase Never share your recovery phrase with anyone or store it digitally.

2. Visit Ledger.com/Start

Open your browser and type https://www.ledger.com/start into the address bar. This official page detects your device and guides you through the correct setup flow. Do not use links from random ads, emails, or search results — scammers often spoof wallet setup pages.

3. Download Ledger Live

From Ledger.com/Start, download Ledger Live, the official companion app for your Ledger hardware wallet. It’s available for:

Desktop: Windows, macOS, Linux

Mobile: iOS & Android

Ledger Live lets you manage your crypto accounts, install blockchain apps, update firmware, and view your portfolio — all while keeping your private keys offline.

4. Connect and Initialize Your Ledger Device

Plug your Ledger device into your computer with the USB cable (or use Bluetooth with supported models):

Turn it on

Choose “Set up as new device”

Follow the on-screen instructions

Your device will prompt you to create a PIN code (4–8 digits). This PIN protects the device from unauthorized physical access.

5. Record Your Recovery Phrase

After setting your PIN, your Ledger device will generate a 24-word recovery phrase. This is the only way to recover your crypto if your device is lost, damaged, or stolen. Write it down on the sheet provided — never take photos, screenshots, or store it on a connected device or in the cloud.

Your Ledger device or Ledger Live may ask you to confirm a few words to ensure it’s recorded correctly. Only proceed once confirmed.

6. Finalize Setup in Ledger Live

Once your device is initialized:

Open Ledger Live

Verify your device’s authenticity and firmware version

Install apps for the cryptocurrencies you want to manage (e.g., BTC, ETH, SOL)

Add crypto accounts to view balances and history

Ledger Live becomes your dashboard for:

Sending and receiving crypto

Portfolio tracking

Managing NFTs

Staking supported assets All actions require physical confirmation on your Ledger device — your private keys never leave the hardware.

🔒 Security Best Practices

Protecting your crypto starts with good habits:

Always use Ledger.com/Start for setup — never download software from third-party sites.

Never share your 24-word phrase with anyone — not Ledger, not support, not emails.

Do not store your recovery phrase digitally — this makes it vulnerable to hacks.

Only confirm transactions on your physical device.

These steps significantly reduce your risk of falling victim to scams, hacking attempts, or phishing sites targeting crypto users.
