Ledger.com/Start is the official starting point for anyone setting up a Ledger hardware wallet. Whether you’ve purchased the Ledger Nano S Plus or the Ledger Nano X, this guide helps you begin securely and confidently.
Inside your Ledger package, ensure everything is sealed and authentic. Ledger devices should never come pre-initialized. Always purchase from the official store or authorized resellers to avoid tampered products.
Ledger Live is the companion app that lets you manage your crypto. Download it only from the official Ledger site. It provides updates, account management, and secure transaction handling.
Power on your device, choose a secure PIN, and record your recovery phrase on the supplied card. This 24-word phrase is your ultimate backup — never store it digitally or share it with anyone.
Once your device is set up, connect it with Ledger Live. Add accounts, check balances, and send or receive crypto. All sensitive operations remain isolated on your Ledger device, keeping your assets secure.
