Welcome to Ledger.com/Start – Your Crypto Security Starting Point

If you’re looking to take full control of your digital assets, you’ve arrived at the right place. At Ledger.com/Start, we guide you through the comprehensive process of setting up your hardware wallet and downloading the official companion app. This is your gateway to managing cryptocurrency securely with confidence.

Why Begin at Ledger.com/Start?

By starting your journey at Ledger.com/Start, you’re choosing the **official onboarding portal** from Ledger. This ensures you download the authentic app, follow trusted instructions, and avoid phishing or malicious links that target crypto users. Visiting the correct site is the first step in safeguarding your coins.

Getting Ready: What You’ll Need

Before you jump in, make sure you have:

• A Ledger hardware wallet device (for example: Nano S Plus, Nano X, Stax).
• A USB cable (or Bluetooth connection, if your model supports it).
• A computer or smartphone (Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS or Android).
• A secure environment where you can write down your backup recovery phrase without interruption.

The Simple Setup Process

Follow these streamlined steps to get started:

Step 1 – Visit Ledger.com/Start & Download the App

Open your browser and navigate to:
https://www.ledger.com/start
Choose your device model and download the companion app, Ledger Live. This app will be your central hub for managing your wallet, accounts, coins, and settings.

Step 2 – Install and Open Ledger Live

Install the app on your device. Launch it and select “Get Started”. Choose your Ledger wallet model, and pick “Set up a new device”. The app guides you through every step.

Step 3 – Connect Your Device & Set Your PIN

Connect your Ledger hardware wallet via USB (or Bluetooth, if applicable). On the device screen, choose a PIN code (typically 4 – 8 digits). This PIN prevents unauthorized access to the device itself.

Step 4 – Write Down Your Recovery Phrase

Your device will generate a 24-word recovery phrase. This **is your only backup** of the wallet. Write it down exactly in the given order. Store this sheet offline and in a safe place. Never share it. If someone else gets this phrase, they can access your funds.

Step 5 – Install Crypto Apps & Add Accounts

Once initialization is complete, open Ledger Live, go to “My Ledger”, install apps for the cryptocurrencies you want to use (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana). Then navigate to “Accounts” and add a new account for each asset. You’re now ready to receive, send, stake and track your crypto portfolio.

Security & Best Practices

Even though your Ledger hardware wallet offers bank-grade protection, your habits matter:

• Never share your recovery phrase with anyone.
• Always verify the wallet address shown on the device screen before sending funds.
• Keep your Ledger Live software and device firmware up to date to benefit from latest security features.
• Avoid downloading apps from third-party sources; always use the official site via Ledger.com/Start.
