Welcome to the Ledger Ecosystem
The Ledger.com/Start® page is your official guide to setting up and securing your Ledger hardware wallet. Ledger’s mission is to empower everyone to own and control their crypto securely — without compromise.
Whether you’ve just purchased the Ledger Nano X, Ledger Nano S Plus, or Ledger Stax, the setup process ensures your device is authentic and your private keys stay offline — where they belong.
Step 1 — Visit the Official Setup Page
Begin by navigating to Ledger.com/Start® on your computer or smartphone browser. This is the only legitimate setup site operated by Ledger SAS. Avoid any third-party sites or links that claim to offer “faster setup.”
Step 2 — Download and Install Ledger Live
Ledger Live is the secure companion app that allows you to manage your assets and interact with your hardware wallet. It’s available for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.
Step 3 — Initialize Your Device
Connect your Ledger device using the included cable and follow the prompts. You’ll be asked to:
- Choose a secure PIN code
- Write down your 24-word recovery phrase on the provided recovery sheet
- Confirm each word carefully — this phrase is your ultimate key to wallet recovery
Store your recovery phrase offline in a safe, private location. Never share it online or with anyone claiming to represent Ledger.
Step 4 — Install Crypto Apps
Within Ledger Live, install specific crypto apps (like Bitcoin, Ethereum, or XRP) onto your device. Each app acts as a secure “gateway” that lets you access and manage your chosen blockchain.
Step 5 — Start Managing Your Portfolio
Once setup is complete, you can safely buy, sell, or stake your crypto directly through Ledger Live. The interface displays real-time portfolio insights, balance tracking, and integrated access to Web3 and DeFi applications.
With Ledger, your private keys never leave your hardware wallet — giving you true ownership and peace of mind.
