Welcome to Ledger.com/Start®
Ledger.com/Start® is the official place to begin your journey with Ledger, the trusted leader in hardware wallets for cryptocurrency security. If you have recently purchased a Ledger Nano X or Ledger Nano S Plus, you are in the right place. Setting up your device is simple, secure, and designed to give you complete peace of mind when it comes to safeguarding your crypto assets.
The first step is to unbox your Ledger device and connect it to your computer or mobile device. You will then install Ledger Live, the official companion application that allows you to manage your assets and install apps for different cryptocurrencies. During setup, you will create a PIN code that prevents unauthorized access to your device. It is essential to choose a secure PIN and keep it private.
Once your PIN is set, your Ledger will generate a unique 24-word recovery phrase. This phrase is the only backup of your private keys. Write it down on the recovery sheet provided and store it in a safe location. Never share this phrase online, and never take a digital picture of it. Anyone with access to your recovery phrase has full access to your funds.
After securing your recovery phrase, you can use Ledger Live to install apps for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and thousands of other cryptocurrencies. Ledger Live also provides portfolio tracking, transaction management, and secure connections to decentralized applications. This makes it easy to interact with Web3 while maintaining industry-leading security standards.
Security is at the core of everything Ledger does. Your private keys never leave the device, ensuring your crypto remains safe from hackers. With Ledger, you are in full control of your digital assets. Unlike exchanges or custodial wallets, Ledger keeps your keys offline and in your hands.
To get started, download Ledger Live from the official Ledger website. It is available for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. Always make sure you are downloading from the official source to avoid counterfeit applications.
If you ever need help, Ledger provides a comprehensive support center with tutorials, troubleshooting guides, and customer support. The Ledger Academy also offers free educational content to help you understand crypto and blockchain technology better.
By following the steps at Ledger.com/Start®, you ensure that your setup is safe, simple, and fully verified by Ledger. Take control of your crypto journey today with Ledger—the secure gateway to Web3.
