Welcome to Ledger.com/Start: Your Journey Begins Here

Are you ready to take control of your digital asset security? At ledger.com/start, you’ll find everything you need to begin protecting your cryptocurrencies, NFTs, and digital wealth. This guide is crafted for both beginners and seasoned enthusiasts, providing clear steps, valuable insights, and practical advice to help you make the most of Ledger’s hardware wallet ecosystem.

Why Start at Ledger.com/Start?

Choosing Ledger means opting for security, simplicity, and innovation. Our flagship hardware wallets — Ledger Nano S Plus and Ledger Nano X — are built with the highest industry standards:

  • Tamper-proof secure chip (CC EAL5+)
  • Private keys that never leave the device
  • Ledger Live app for easy portfolio management

At ledger.com/start, we streamline your onboarding journey, ensuring that setting up and using your wallet is a breeze.

Step 1: Select the Right Wallet

Before anything else, you need to choose the hardware wallet that suits your lifestyle:

  • Ledger Nano S Plus: Compact and budget-friendly, ideal for basic crypto management.
  • Ledger Nano X: Bluetooth-enabled and storage-rich — perfect for advanced users and mobile control.

You can compare features directly on ledger.com/start, with side-by-side breakdowns of supported coins, security specs, and pricing.

Step 2: Order Your Ledger Device

Once you’ve selected your wallet, order it safely through ledger.com/start to ensure you receive a genuine, factory-sealed product. Beware of third-party sellers — counterfeit devices can compromise security. Every official Ledger device ordered via our site includes:

  • Tamper-proof seals
  • Genuine Ledger Secure Element
  • Original box and USB cable
  • Recovery sheet

Step 3: Unbox & Authenticate Your Device

After receiving your Ledger wallet, follow these authentication steps:

  1. Inspect the packaging for intact seals.
  2. Visit ledger.com/start to access start-up tutorials.
  3. Connect your device to your computer or mobile via Bluetooth (Nano X) or USB.
  4. Match the firmware version on the device with what’s displayed in Ledger Live.

Authenticating ensures your wallet is genuine and untouched.

Step 4: Set Up with Ledger Live

Download the official Ledger Live app — available across Windows, MacOS, Linux, Android, and iOS — directly from ledger.com/start. Here’s what you’ll do:

  • Initialize your device with a PIN code.
  • Write down your 24-word recovery phrase.
  • Verify the phrase on your Ledger device.
  • Add your crypto accounts within the app.

Ledger Live is your central hub for transactions, tracking, and crypto staking.

Step 5: Secure Your Recovery Phrase

Your 24-word recovery phrase is the only backup to restore access if you ever lose your device. With great power comes great responsibility:

  • Always write it down on the included recovery sheet — never store digitally.
  • Store it offline, such as in a secure safe.
  • Avoid copying or photographing it.
  • Some users opt for metal recovery backup plates to withstand fire and water damage.

ledger.com/start offers a guide to recovery phrase best practices — don’t overlook this step!

Step 6: Add & Use Cryptocurrencies

With your device ready and Ledger Live set up, you’re prepared to manage your crypto:

  1. In Ledger Live, go to Accounts.
  2. Click Add Account, select your cryptocurrency (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana).
  3. Install the app on your Ledger device — Ledger Live will prompt you.
  4. Receive/send crypto using the provided addresses.

Ledger supports over 5,500 tokens and coins, and more are added regularly. Your portfolio’s security — your control.

Beyond basic transactions, ledger.com/start guides you through powerful features:

  • Staking supported assets (e.g., Polkadot, Cosmos)
  • ECDSA multi-account management

Expand your crypto experience with confidence, knowing you remain in control of your private keys.

  • Access firmware update alerts
  • Review security advisories

Always update your device firmware via Ledger Live — it ensures you benefit from the latest protections and features.

Common Questions at Ledger.com/Start

Is my recovery phrase stored online?
 No. It’s stored entirely offline. Ledger never has access to it.

 Ledger Live reads balances directly from blockchain nodes — Ledger never holds your assets.

 Yes — Ledger devices support thousands of coins and tokens. You can install multiple apps and manage diverse portfolios.
