Why Start With a Ledger® Wallet?

Key Benefits:
- Cold storage: Keeps your keys offline
- Supports 5,000+ assets: Including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and NFTs
- Integrated with Ledger Live: Easy management of your portfolio
- Secure chip technology: Certified protection
- Physical confirmation: All transactions must be approved on your device
Step-by-Step Setup at Ledgér.com/Start®
Step 1: Visit the Official Start Page
Go to Ledgér.com/Start®. Make sure you manually type the address into your browser. This is important to avoid fake or phishing websites.
On the official start page, you’ll be able to select your device model and follow specific instructions.
Step 2: Unbox Your Device
You should find the following inside the box:
- Your Ledger® device (Nano S Plus, Nano X, or Stax)

If the packaging is open, tampered with, or missing items, do not use the device.
Step 3: Connect and Power On

Follow the instructions on the device’s screen:
- Choose a PIN code

⚠️ Important: Your 24-word recovery phrase is your only backup. Keep it offline, in a safe place, and never share it with anyone.
