Ledger.com/start is the official setup and onboarding page for Ledger hardware wallets, such as the Ledger Nano S Plus, Ledger Nano X, or Ledger Stax.
It guides you step-by-step through securely initializing your new device, installing Ledger Live (the companion app), creating or restoring a crypto wallet, and securing your recovery phrase.
Ledger hardware wallets are popular for keeping crypto assets safe because they store your private keys offline (cold storage).
Using Ledger.com/start ensures you follow the official process and avoid third-party scams or mistakes that could compromise your funds.
Always type ledger.com/start directly into your browser to avoid phishing sites.
Check for HTTPS and the correct URL.
The page will ask which Ledger device you’re setting up (Nano S Plus, Nano X, or Stax).
Ledger Live is the official desktop or mobile app for managing your crypto assets.
It lets you:
Initialize your device
Install apps for different blockchains (Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.)
Send/receive crypto
Manage NFTs
Stake assets
Connect your Ledger device to your computer or phone.
Set a PIN code on the device.
Write down your 24-word recovery phrase on the supplied recovery sheet.
This is your backup to restore access if your Ledger is lost or damaged.
Never share it or store it digitally!
Ledger.com/start will guide you to verify that your device is genuine.
It checks the firmware and verifies the device’s authenticity with Ledger’s secure servers.
Once your device is set up, you can:
✅ Install crypto apps for different coins

✔️ Enable password lock and regular firmware updates for extra security.
