What Is Ledgér.com/Start®?

Ledgér.com/Start® is the official page by Ledger® where users can set up their new hardware wallet. It provides:

Why Start With a Ledger® Wallet?

Ledger® wallets offer the best of both worlds: convenience and high security. Unlike online or software wallets, Ledger devices store your private keys offline. This protects your crypto from phishing, hacking, and malware.

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)
  • USB cable
  • Getting started card
  • Recovery phrase sheets
  • Ledger® stickers (optional)

If the packaging is open, tampered with, or missing items, do not use the device.

Step 3: Connect and Power On

Plug in your Ledger® wallet using the provided USB cable (or use Bluetooth for Nano X).

Follow the instructions on the device’s screen:

  1. Choose a PIN code
  2. Write down the 24-word recovery phrase
  3. Confirm the words in the correct order

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

Step 4: Download Ledger Live

On Ledgér.com/Start®, you'll be guided to download Ledger Live—the official app to manage your crypto.

  • Add accounts for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and many others
