Getting Started with Ledger
Ledger.com/start is your trusted guide to setting up your Ledger device safely. Whether you own a Ledger Nano X, Nano S Plus, or the new Ledger Stax, this page ensures your setup is authentic, simple, and fully secure.
Step 1: Unbox and Verify
Before connecting your device, inspect the packaging for authenticity. Ledger products are shipped with tamper-proof seals to protect against interference. Always purchase directly from Ledger.com or authorized resellers to guarantee safety.
Step 2: Connect Your Device
Use the included USB cable to connect your Ledger to a computer or mobile device. Visit ledger.com/start in your browser and follow the on-screen guide to begin the initialization process. You’ll be prompted to install the Ledger Live app for desktop or mobile.
Step 3: Create a PIN and Recovery Phrase
Choose a secure PIN directly on your device. Then, carefully write down the 24-word recovery phrase displayed on your Ledger screen. This phrase is your only backup and should never be photographed or stored online.
Step 4: Install Ledger Live
Download the official Ledger Live app to manage your portfolio, track balances, and install crypto apps like Bitcoin or Ethereum. Every transaction you approve will require confirmation on your device, providing an unmatched layer of security.
Step 5: Explore Safely
Once your setup is complete, you can safely store, send, and receive digital assets. Keep your firmware up to date and regularly back up your recovery phrase in a secure offline location. Ledger ensures that your crypto remains under your full control — always.
