The world of cryptocurrency offers exciting opportunities, but it also comes with risks. Hackers, phishing attacks, and exchange vulnerabilities make it clear: your crypto needs strong protection. That’s why investors turn to Ledger hardware wallets, known for their unmatched security. If you’ve just bought a Ledger Nano X or Ledger Nano S Plus, the official place to begin your journey is ledger.com/start.
This blog will guide you step by step on how to set up your device safely, install Ledger Live, and start managing your digital assets.
The internet is full of fake websites pretending to be Ledger support pages. These sites often trick users into entering recovery phrases, leading to stolen funds. The official setup portal ledger.com/start ensures you’re always downloading authentic software and following safe instructions directly from Ledger.
Open your browser and type ledger.com/start.
Choose your Ledger device model (Nano X, Nano S Plus, or others).
The site will guide you to download the Ledger Live app, your all-in-one crypto management tool.
Ledger Live is available on:
Desktop: Windows, macOS, and Linux
Mobile: iOS and Android
Once downloaded, install Ledger Live and select “Set up new device” if this is your first time.
Connect Your Device – Plug your Ledger wallet into your computer or mobile.
Choose PIN Code – Create a secure PIN (4–8 digits). You’ll use this every time you unlock the device.
Write Down Recovery Phrase – Your device will generate a 24-word recovery seed. This is the only backup of your wallet.
Write it on the provided recovery sheet.
Store it offline, in a secure place.
Never share or store it digitally.
Ledger will ask you to confirm your 24-word phrase to ensure you’ve backed it up correctly. This step is crucial — if you lose your device, your recovery phrase is the only way to restore your funds.
Open Ledger Live and install apps for the cryptocurrencies you want (Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, etc.).
Add accounts to view balances, send, and receive assets securely.
Hardware-Level Security – Private keys stay inside the device.
Wide Asset Support – Manage over 5,500 coins and tokens.
User-Friendly App – Ledger Live makes managing crypto simple.

Only download Ledger Live from ledger.com/start.

Keep your firmware and Ledger Live updated.
Consider storing your recovery phrase in a metal backup for durability.
Setting up your device through ledger.com/start is the safest way to begin your crypto security journey. With Ledger hardware wallets and the Ledger Live app, you can protect, manage, and grow your crypto portfolio with complete peace of mind.
Your crypto deserves world-class protection, and Ledger gives you exactly that.
