If you've just bought a Ledger device, congratulations—you’ve taken a major step toward owning and securing your digital assets. Now, it's time to set it up safely and correctly. Your trusted guide? Ledger.com/start.

This official onboarding page ensures you get your Ledger device up and running without risk. Whether you have the Ledger Nano X or Ledger Nano S Plus, everything you need to begin your crypto journey securely is just a click away.

Why You Should Always Use Ledger.com/Start

Crypto is valuable—but it’s also vulnerable without proper protection. There are many fake setup guides, apps, and phishing sites that mimic Ledger’s branding. That’s why Ledger emphasizes one central location for all new device setups: Ledger.com/start.

This page ensures:

  • You're following verified instructions
  • You download the real Ledger Live app
  • Your device is genuine and hasn't been tampered with
  • You learn security best practices from day one

What Happens at Ledger.com/Start?

Once you arrive, the process is intuitive. The page walks you through:

1. Choosing Your Device

Select whether you’re using the Nano S Plus or Nano X. The page then displays custom instructions for your model.

2. Setting Up the Device

You’ll be guided step by step to:

  • Initialize the device
  • Create a secure PIN
  • Write down your 24-word recovery phrase
  • Confirm your recovery phrase

This ensures you, and only you, have access to your private keys.

3. Downloading Ledger Live

Ledger Live is the only app you need to manage your digital assets. At Ledger.com/start, you’ll find the official download links for both desktop and mobile versions.

Through Ledger Live, you can:

  • Install apps for different blockchains
  • Send and receive crypto
  • Buy, sell, or stake coins
  • Track your portfolio in real time

And since the app works directly with your hardware wallet, your private keys always stay offline and protected.

What Makes Ledger Secure?

Ledger wallets feature a Secure Element chip—the same technology used in passports and banking cards. Combined with Ledger Live, your wallet environment is isolated from malware, keyloggers, and internet-based attacks.

Every transaction must be confirmed on the physical device, which prevents remote hacks and keeps your assets safe—even if your phone or computer is compromised.

Supported Cryptocurrencies

Ledger devices support over 5,500 digital assets, including:

  • Bitcoin (BTC)
  • Ethereum (ETH) + ERC-20 tokens
  • Cardano (ADA)
  • Polkadot (DOT)
  • Solana (SOL)
  • Avalanche (AVAX)
  • Binance Coin (BNB)
  • Ripple (XRP)
  • And stablecoins like USDC, USDT, and DAI

Whether you’re holding, trading, or staking, Ledger has you covered.

Important Setup Tips

To ensure full security, keep these in mind:

  • Only buy devices from Ledger.com or authorized retailers
  • Use Ledger.com/start for setup—avoid third-party sites or YouTube tutorials
  • Never take a photo of your 24-word recovery phrase
  • Store your phrase offline in a secure place—this is your backup
  • Never share your recovery phrase, even with someone claiming to be Ledger support
