Welcome to Ledger.com/start

Ledger.com/start is the official portal for setting up Ledger hardware wallets. Whether you own a Ledger Nano X, Nano S Plus, or Ledger Stax, this page provides a step-by-step guide to securely initialize, configure, and protect your wallet.

With verified software downloads, tutorials, and expert guidance, Ledger.com/start ensures your wallet is authentic, your crypto remains safe, and your private keys stay offline.

Why Ledger Wallets Are Trusted Worldwide

Ledger wallets combine world-class security with user-friendly design. Unlike online wallets or exchange accounts, Ledger keeps your private keys offline, preventing hackers, phishing attacks, and malware from accessing your funds.

Millions of users globally trust Ledger to safely store Bitcoin, Ethereum, and thousands of other cryptocurrencies while maintaining full control of their assets.

Offline Security You Can Rely On

Ledger devices feature a Secure Element chip, the same technology used in passports and high-security banking cards. Your private keys never leave the device, protecting your crypto from physical tampering and unauthorized access.

Manage Thousands of Cryptocurrencies

Ledger wallets support over 5,500 digital assets, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Dogecoin (DOGE), and more. Through Ledger Live, you can manage multiple cryptocurrencies in one secure interface — buy, send, receive, and stake assets without exposing your private keys online.

Regular Firmware and Software Updates

Ledger continuously releases firmware and software updates to enhance security and performance. These updates protect against emerging threats, improve compatibility with new cryptocurrencies, and optimize wallet functionality.

Step-by-Step Guide to Setting Up Your Ledger Wallet

Follow these official steps to ensure your Ledger wallet is authentic and ready for secure crypto management.

Step 1: Visit the Official Ledger.com/start Page

Open a secure browser and navigate to https://www.ledger.com/start. Always verify the URL begins with https://www.ledger.com to avoid phishing or fake websites.

Step 2: Download Ledger Live

Download the official Ledger Live app for your device — available on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS. Ledger Live guides you through installation, firmware updates, and wallet management safely and efficiently.

Step 3: Connect Your Ledger Device

Plug in your Ledger wallet via USB, or connect via Bluetooth if using a Nano X. Ledger Live will detect your device and prompt you to create a new wallet or restore an existing one using your 24-word recovery phrase.

Step 4: Secure Your Recovery Phrase

Your Ledger device generates a 24-word recovery phrase, which is the only way to recover your wallet if it’s lost or damaged. Write it down on the provided recovery card and store it offline in a secure location.

⚠️ Never store it digitally, photograph it, or share it online. Anyone with access can take control of your crypto.

Step 5: Start Managing Your Crypto

Once setup is complete, Ledger Live verifies your device’s authenticity. You can now add accounts, monitor balances, send and receive cryptocurrencies, and stake supported assets — all securely through Ledger Live.
