What Is Ledger.com/start? ™
Ledger.com/start ™ is the official setup page designed to help users initialize and secure their Ledger® hardware wallet. Whether you purchase a Ledger Nano S Plus® or Ledger Nano X®, this page provides step-by-step guidance to safely configure your device and begin managing cryptocurrencies. It ensures that users follow verified instructions directly from Ledger®, reducing the risk of scams or fake setup websites.
Why Use the Official Setup Page? ®
Using Ledger.com/start ® guarantees that you download authentic software and receive accurate security instructions. Cryptocurrency security is extremely important, and visiting unofficial sources may expose you to phishing attempts. The official page directs users to download Ledger Live™, the companion app required to manage crypto assets, install apps, and monitor balances. By following official guidance, you ensure your private keys remain secure within your Ledger® hardware wallet.
Steps to Set Up Your Ledger Device ™
First, unbox your Ledger Nano device and check that the packaging is untampered. Then visit Ledger.com/start ™ using a secure browser. Download and install Ledger Live™ on your desktop or mobile device. After installation, connect your Ledger® device using the provided USB cable or Bluetooth® (for Nano X®).
Next, choose “Set up as new device” on the hardware wallet screen. You will create a secure PIN code directly on the device. After that, the device will generate a 24-word recovery phrase. This recovery phrase is extremely important—write it down carefully on the recovery sheet provided and store it in a safe location. Never share your recovery phrase with anyone.
Installing Apps and Adding Accounts ®
Once your device is initialized, Ledger Live™ allows you to install cryptocurrency apps such as Bitcoin®, Ethereum®, and many others. Each app corresponds to a blockchain and enables secure transaction signing. After installing the app, you can add accounts and begin receiving or sending digital assets safely.
Ledger Live™ also provides portfolio tracking, staking options, and firmware updates to keep your device secure and up to date. Always verify transactions directly on your Ledger® screen before confirming.
Security Best Practices ™
Ledger.com/start ™ emphasizes security awareness. Always verify that you are on the official website before entering any information. Keep your PIN confidential and never store your recovery phrase digitally. Ledger® will never ask for your recovery phrase. If your device is lost or damaged, you can restore access to your assets using the recovery phrase on a new Ledger® device.
By following the official Ledger.com/start ™ guide, users can confidently secure their digital assets with industry-leading hardware wallet protection.
