Ledger Wallet Setup Made Simple
Welcome to Ledger.com/Start, your trusted portal for setting up and protecting your Ledger wallet. Whether you’ve just received a Ledger Nano X or Nano S Plus, this official guide walks you through the process of creating, restoring, and securing your digital wallet with ease. Ledger combines world-class hardware encryption with an intuitive interface, providing unmatched control and protection for your cryptocurrency holdings.
To begin, connect your Ledger device using the provided cable and power it on. Next, download the Ledger Live application from the official Ledger website. This software acts as your command center — managing your accounts, checking balances, and installing apps for different cryptocurrencies. Once connected, you’ll be prompted to set up a new wallet or restore an existing one using your recovery phrase.
During the initialization process, the device will generate a unique 24-word recovery phrase. This phrase is your master backup key. Write it down on the recovery sheet included in your box and store it offline in a safe, secure location. Never share or store it digitally — it’s the single most important safeguard for your assets. Once confirmed, create a PIN code to add an additional layer of security.
After setup, open Ledger Live to install the necessary apps for your cryptocurrencies. You can manage Bitcoin, Ethereum, and hundreds of other assets directly through Ledger Live’s dashboard. The interface displays your portfolio, transaction history, and market updates — all in one place. Firmware and software updates are released regularly to enhance your device’s performance and protection.
At Ledger.com/Start, you’re not just setting up a wallet — you’re building a foundation of digital security. With Ledger’s proven hardware protection and transparent design, your crypto remains under your control at all times. Begin your journey with confidence — secure, manage, and grow your assets with Ledger.
