Welcome to Ledger.com/start — your official starting point for setting up a Ledger hardware wallet. Take full control of your crypto assets with unmatched security and a simple step-by-step setup experience.
Starting with your Ledger device is easy and secure. Visit Ledger.com/start to initialize your Ledger Nano X, Nano S Plus, or Nano S device. This is the official platform for downloading Ledger Live and performing all first-time configurations safely.
Connect your device using the supplied USB cable and follow on-screen instructions. You’ll be prompted to create a new wallet or restore an existing one using your recovery phrase. This 24-word recovery seed is your ultimate backup key — never share it online, and store it securely offline. Ledger will never ask for your recovery phrase or private keys.
Once your device is initialized, open Ledger Live to install apps for supported cryptocurrencies, check your portfolio balance, and perform secure transactions. Every action you confirm happens on your Ledger screen — protecting you from unauthorized access or phishing attempts.
Ledger supports more than 5,000 crypto assets including Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and ERC-20 tokens. With real-time portfolio tracking and seamless app updates, Ledger Live gives you complete control of your holdings — all within a verified and secure environment.
Keep your firmware up-to-date directly from the Ledger Live app. Firmware updates strengthen your wallet’s defense against potential vulnerabilities and ensure optimal performance. Only download software from Ledger.com/start to stay fully protected.
Ledger devices combine offline key storage with transparent, open-source technology. This means your private keys never leave the hardware — giving you true ownership of your digital wealth.
