Getting Started with Ledger
Welcome to Ledger.com/Start®, the official onboarding hub for setting up your Ledger hardware wallet. Whether you’ve just unboxed your Ledger Nano X, Nano S Plus, or Ledger Stax, this guide ensures you begin your crypto journey safely and confidently. Your Ledger device is your ultimate digital vault — protecting your cryptocurrencies, NFTs, and digital identities from online threats.
To start, download and install Ledger Live on your computer or mobile device. Ledger Live is your secure interface to buy, sell, swap, and stake crypto assets with full transparency. Once installed, connect your Ledger device using the provided cable and follow the on-screen setup instructions. You’ll create a PIN code and securely record your 24-word recovery phrase — never share or store it online.
After setup, add your favorite crypto accounts such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Solana directly within Ledger Live. Ledger supports over 5,000 digital assets, allowing you to manage your portfolio in one intuitive dashboard. Real-time portfolio tracking, staking rewards, and DeFi integrations are all available within the Ledger ecosystem.
Your security is our top priority. Ledger’s devices use Secure Element chips — the same technology trusted by passports and banking cards — ensuring that your private keys never leave your device. Even if your computer is compromised, your crypto remains safe. With the Ledger ecosystem, you stay in full control of your digital wealth.
Need help? Our support center and community are available 24/7 to guide you through updates, recovery, and advanced features. At Ledger.com/Start, every step is designed to empower you to take ownership of your financial freedom with confidence and simplicity.
