The official starting point for setting up your Ledger hardware wallet. Follow trusted steps to install Ledger Live, secure your recovery phrase, and manage crypto safely.
Get StartedLedger.com/Start is the official onboarding page provided by Ledger Support™ to help users securely initialize their Ledger hardware wallet. It ensures that every step of the setup process is completed using authentic software and verified instructions.
Starting from this page reduces the risk of phishing attacks, counterfeit applications, and unauthorized access to your crypto assets.
Ledger hardware wallets are designed to protect private keys by keeping them offline. However, security begins with proper setup. Ledger Support™ provides a guided experience that ensures users configure their device safely from the first moment.
Begin by connecting your Ledger hardware wallet (Ledger Nano S Plus or Ledger Nano X) to your computer using the provided USB cable. Make sure the device is new or reset before proceeding.
Once connected, Ledger.com/Start will guide you through verifying the device’s authenticity and preparing it for setup.
Ledger Live is the official application used to manage crypto assets on Ledger devices. It acts as a secure interface while all private keys remain safely stored on the hardware wallet.
During setup, users are prompted to create a PIN directly on the Ledger device. This PIN protects the wallet against unauthorized physical access.
PIN entry occurs only on the hardware wallet itself, ensuring it cannot be captured by malware or keyloggers.
The most critical step in the setup process is backing up the 24-word recovery phrase. This phrase is generated offline and displayed only on the Ledger device screen.
Ledger Support™ will never ask for your recovery phrase. Anyone with access to it can control your assets.
Once setup is complete, Ledger Live becomes your central dashboard for managing cryptocurrency. Users can view balances, send and receive assets, and install apps for different blockchains.
Ledger does not use traditional online logins. Instead, access and transaction approval require physical confirmation on the device.
This ensures that even if a computer is compromised, transactions cannot be executed without user consent on the Ledger hardware wallet.
Ledger devices can connect securely to Web3 applications, decentralized exchanges, and NFT marketplaces. Ledger Live and supported integrations allow users to explore Web3 while keeping private keys offline.
Every smart contract interaction must be confirmed on the device, offering transparency and control.
