Official Site® | Ledger.com/Start | Getting started®

If you’ve just purchased a Ledger hardware wallet, the first step is to set it up securely. Ledger provides an official setup page at ledger.com/start where you can download Ledger Live, follow initialization steps, and protect your recovery phrase. This quick guide summarizes the process.

1. Begin at ledger.com/start

Visit the official site directly—never through third-party links. Choose your device model (Nano S Plus or Nano X) and download Ledger Live, the companion app for managing accounts, installing apps, and sending or receiving crypto.

2. Set Up Your Device

Connect your Ledger to your computer or phone. The device will prompt you to create a PIN. Next, write down the 24-word recovery phrase on paper using the provided sheet. This phrase is your ultimate backup—keep it offline and never share it. Confirm the words carefully on the device.

3. Install Apps and Add Accounts

In Ledger Live, update your device firmware if needed. Then open the Manager to install apps for the cryptocurrencies you use. Add accounts by verifying details directly on the device screen, ensuring accuracy and security.

4. Security Best Practices

• Only use ledger.com/start and the official Ledger Live app.
• Never digitize or share your recovery phrase.
• Verify all transaction details on the device screen before approving.

Conclusion

By following the official setup process at ledger.com/start, you’ll ensure your Ledger wallet is ready to protect your digital assets with maximum security.
