Getting Started with Your Ledger Device

Setting up your Ledger hardware wallet is simple and secure. Follow our step-by-step guide at Ledger.com/start to begin protecting your digital assets today.

Why Start with Ledger.com/start?

At Ledger, we prioritize both security and user experience. Our dedicated setup portal at Ledger.com/start provides a streamlined onboarding process designed to get your hardware wallet operational in minutes while maintaining the highest security standards.

The journey begins with unboxing your Ledger device, but the real magic happens when you visit our official setup portal. Unlike generic guides, Ledger.com/start offers device-specific instructions, firmware updates, and the genuine Ledger Live software download - all in one secure location.

Security experts recommend always using the official Ledger.com/start portal to avoid phishing attempts. This ensures you're downloading authentic software and following verified setup procedures. The portal automatically detects your device model and provides tailored guidance for Nano S Plus, Nano X, or Ledger Stax.

During setup, you'll establish your unique PIN code and generate your 24-word recovery phrase - the cryptographic key to your digital assets. This phrase never leaves your device and remains protected by our secure element chip, the same technology used in credit cards and passports.

Once set up through Ledger.com/start, you'll have access to Ledger Live - our intuitive desktop and mobile application that lets you manage 5,500+ coins and tokens, stake assets for rewards, and connect to Web3 applications with uncompromised security.
