Follow the official Ledger.com/Start process to set up your Ledger Nano S Plus, Nano X, or Ledger Stax. Secure your cryptocurrency in minutes with industry-grade protection.
Your first step toward complete crypto security begins here. Ledger.com/Start is the official setup gateway for all Ledger hardware wallets. Whether you’ve purchased a new Ledger Nano X or upgraded to Ledger Stax, this guide ensures that your crypto journey begins safely and smoothly.
Ledger wallets are trusted by millions worldwide because they offer cold storage protection. Unlike online wallets, a Ledger device keeps your private keys offline — away from hackers, malware, and phishing attacks. You hold complete control of your digital assets.
Setting up your device at Ledger.com/Start takes just a few minutes. Here’s how:
Ensure your Ledger package is sealed and tamper-free. Every Ledger wallet comes with a holographic seal. If anything looks unusual, contact Ledger support before connecting it.
Go to Ledger.com/Start. This is the official source — never trust third-party links claiming to be Ledger. Select your device model (Nano S Plus, Nano X, or Stax) and follow the guided steps.
Ledger Live is the companion app for your wallet. It lets you check balances, install apps, and send or receive coins securely. Download it only from the official site to avoid scams.
Power on your Ledger device and follow on-screen instructions. You’ll be prompted to create a PIN. Choose one that’s strong but memorable — your PIN is essential for accessing your wallet.
Your recovery phrase (24 words) is the only backup to your crypto. Store it offline — never share or upload it. If you lose your device, you can restore access using this phrase.
After setup, open Ledger Live and connect your wallet. Verify that your device displays “Allow Ledger Manager” before granting permission. Once synced, you can start managing assets directly.
Ledger Live is more than a wallet interface — it’s your gateway to decentralized finance (DeFi), staking, and NFTs. Explore new opportunities directly within the app, while keeping your keys secured on your hardware device.
If you face any problems during setup, such as device not detected or Ledger Live connection errors, follow these steps:
Ledger doesn’t just protect your crypto — it empowers your digital independence. By setting up your device at Ledger.com/Start, you gain direct control over your digital identity, ensuring your financial future stays in your hands.
As the crypto landscape evolves, Ledger continues to innovate with products like Ledger Recover and Ledger Stax, offering sleek design and stronger recovery options without compromising privacy.
