Welcome to Ledger.com/start, the official portal for setting up your Ledger hardware wallet — the safest way to store, manage, and protect your cryptocurrency. Whether you’re a first-time crypto user or an experienced investor, Ledger offers the highest level of security combined with a simple, user-friendly experience.

At Ledger.com/start, you’ll find all the resources, step-by-step instructions, and official software downloads you need to get started confidently with Ledger’s industry-leading hardware wallets.

Why Use Ledger?

Security is the foundation of crypto ownership, and Ledger is the global leader in hardware wallets that safeguard your private keys offline. Unlike hot wallets or exchanges that hold your keys online and risk hacking, Ledger devices store keys in a secure chip within the device itself — making your assets virtually immune to cyber attacks.

Ledger wallets support thousands of cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Cardano, and many more, enabling you to securely hold, send, receive, and stake your assets with full ownership.

How to Get Started at Ledger.com/start

Getting your Ledger wallet ready is straightforward and safe when you follow the official guide on Ledger.com/start. Here’s how to begin:

Step 1: Receive and Inspect Your Ledger Wallet

When your Ledger device arrives, ensure the packaging is intact and sealed. Inside the box, you should find:

  • Your Ledger hardware wallet (Ledger Nano S Plus or Nano X)
  • USB cable and accessories
  • Recovery phrase card
  • Quick start guide

If you notice any signs of tampering or missing items, do not use the device. Contact Ledger support immediately.

Step 2: Go to Ledger.com/start

Always access the setup site directly by typing Ledger.com/start into your browser. Avoid clicking links from emails or third-party sites to prevent phishing attempts.

Step 3: Download Ledger Live

Download Ledger Live, the official companion app that lets you manage your wallet, install cryptocurrency apps, and track your portfolio. Ledger Live is available on:

  • Windows
  • macOS
  • Linux
  • Android
  • iOS

Step 4: Initialize Your Ledger Device

Connect your Ledger hardware wallet to your computer or smartphone. Open Ledger Live and follow the setup wizard to:

  • Select “Set up as new device” or “Restore device” if you have a recovery phrase
  • Choose a secure PIN code
  • Write down your 24-word recovery phrase carefully on the recovery card (this phrase is your ultimate backup)

Important: Never save your recovery phrase digitally or share it with anyone. This phrase is the only way to recover your funds if your device is lost or stolen.

Step 5: Install Cryptocurrency Apps

Use Ledger Live to install apps for the cryptocurrencies you want to manage, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, or any other supported asset. Ledger supports over 5,500 tokens and coins, so you can customize your portfolio.
