Ledger.com/start is the official and secure starting point to set up your Ledger hardware wallet. If you own a Ledger Nano X, Nano S Plus, or any Ledger device, this is the only trusted page you should use to begin your wallet configuration.

This page walks you through everything you need to safely manage your cryptocurrency.

What you do on Ledger.com/start:

  1. Download Ledger Live
    You’ll be guided to install Ledger Live, the official Ledger application. It works on:

Ledger Live is where you manage your assets, check balances, send and receive crypto, stake coins, and install apps.

  1. Connect Your Ledger Device
    Plug your Ledger into your computer or connect via Bluetooth (for Nano X). Ledger Live will automatically detect your device.
  2. Choose Setup Method
    You’ll select:
  • “Set up as new device”
    or
  • “Restore from recovery phrase”
  1. Create Your PIN
    Set a secure PIN to protect your device from unauthorized use.
  2. Write Down Recovery Phrase
    You’ll receive a 24-word recovery phrase:
  • Write it on paper
  • Store it offline
  • Never share it

This phrase is the only way to recover your wallet if your device is lost or damaged.
