Begin your secure crypto journey at Ledger.com/Start. Set up your Ledger Nano X, Nano S Plus, or Stax wallet in minutes — protect and control your digital assets with world-class security.
Getting started with your Ledger hardware wallet is easy and secure. Ledger Start provides official instructions, firmware updates, and app installation for the safest crypto experience possible.
Make sure your Ledger box is sealed and authentic. Verify packaging and holograms by comparing with official Ledger authenticity guidelines.
Go to the verified setup portal: ledger.com/start. Avoid search engines — always type the URL manually or use saved bookmarks.
Plug in your Ledger device and follow on-screen instructions. You’ll be prompted to install Ledger Live, the official app for managing your cryptocurrencies securely.
Choose to generate a new recovery phrase or restore from your 24-word seed. Never share your recovery phrase — Ledger will never ask for it.
Ledger devices are built with secure element chips — the same technology used in passports and payment systems. Combined with Ledger Live, you can manage thousands of digital assets with complete control over your private keys.
Unlike software wallets, your keys never leave the device. Each transaction requires physical confirmation on your Ledger’s display, ensuring total protection against remote attacks.
Download the official Ledger Live app to buy, sell, exchange, and stake crypto securely from your computer or smartphone.
Keep your device up-to-date with official firmware updates from Ledger Support.
