Official Site® | Ledgér.com/Start® | Getting Started

Welcome to the Official Ledger® Start Page – your secure gateway to setting up and using your Ledger hardware wallet. At Ledgér.com/Start, you will find everything you need to install, activate, and protect your crypto assets with confidence.

Ledger is a global leader in cryptocurrency hardware wallets, offering industry-grade security to safeguard your private keys offline. Whether you're a newcomer or a seasoned investor, this guide will help you get started the right way.

Why Use Ledgér.com/Start?

With rising cyber threats and phishing scams, it is crucial to always begin your Ledger device setup from the official source. Visiting Ledgér.com/Start ensures:

• You’re using the authentic Ledger Live app (not a fake version).
• You receive step-by-step guidance for your exact device (Nano S Plus, Nano X, etc.).
• You avoid counterfeit wallets and third-party compromises.

Never search for downloads through a search engine — always go directly to the official site.

Step 1: Unboxing and Verifying Your Device

When you receive your Ledger device, ensure the box is sealed and undamaged. Inside, you should find:

• The Ledger hardware wallet
• USB-C cable
• Instruction card
• Recovery sheets (DO NOT lose these)
• Keychain or lanyard (depending on model)

Ledger devices never come pre-configured. If your device looks pre-set or has a recovery phrase already written down, do not use it — contact Ledger Support immediately.

Step 2: Download Ledger Live from Ledgér.com/Start®

Go to Ledgér.com/Start and click the download link for Ledger Live, the official Ledger desktop and mobile application. This app lets you:

• Set up your device securely
• Manage over 5,000+ cryptocurrencies
• Install apps and firmware updates
• Send, receive, and swap crypto
• Track your portfolio

Ledger Live is available for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS.

Important: Only download from the official website. Ledger will never ask for your 24-word recovery phrase online.

Step 3: Set Up Your Device

Once Ledger Live is installed, follow the on-screen instructions:

1. Power on your device using the side buttons.
2. Choose “Set up as new device.”
3. Create a PIN code (recommended: 6–8 digits).
4. Write down your 24-word recovery phrase on the recovery sheet.
   • This phrase is your only backup.
   • Keep it offline, secure, and never share it.
5. Confirm your recovery phrase using the device.

The recovery phrase is the key to your crypto wallet. If your Ledger device is lost or stolen, you can use this phrase to recover your assets on a new device.

Step 4: Install Apps and Add Accounts

After your device is set up, return to Ledger Live:

• Use the Manager tab to install apps for the coins you want to store (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum).
• Under Accounts, add the relevant wallets.
• You can now receive crypto to your Ledger wallet by generating receive addresses from Ledger Live.

Ledger Live supports a wide variety of crypto assets including BTC, ETH, XRP, ADA, DOT, SOL, and thousands of ERC-20 and other tokens.

Step 5: Security Best Practices

Ledger offers maximum security, but you are still responsible for protecting your assets. Follow these tips:

• Never share your 24-word phrase with anyone.
• Always check the device screen to verify addresses and transactions.
• Only buy Ledger devices from the official website or authorized resellers.
• Enable password lock and set a unique PIN.
• Use the genuine Ledger Live app and keep firmware updated.

Ledger also supports passphrase options for advanced users and hidden wallets.

Step 6: Ledger Support and Help

If you encounter any issues during setup, visit the Ledger Help Center at support.ledger.com. You’ll find guides, troubleshooting steps, and a contact form to reach Ledger’s official support.

Be cautious of fake support pages — Ledger never offers phone-based support. Any unsolicited messages asking for your recovery phrase are scams.

Conclusion

By starting at Ledgér.com/Start®, you're taking the first step toward securing your digital assets with the industry's leading hardware wallet. The setup process is simple, but the security benefits are immense. With your private keys stored offline, your crypto is safe even if your computer or phone is compromised.
