Ledger.com/start – Getting Started with Ledger Hardware Wallet

Welcome to Ledger.com/start

The official Ledger.com/start portal is where every Ledger Hardware Wallet journey begins. Whether you own a Ledger Nano S Plus, Ledger Nano X, or the latest device, this starting point ensures you are setting up your wallet safely, downloading the correct software, and following recommended security practices.

Ledger wallets are built to provide cold storage for your crypto by keeping your private keys offline. This prevents hackers from accessing your funds, even if your computer is compromised.

Step-by-Step Setup Guide

1. Unbox and Inspect

Make sure your Ledger device arrives sealed and untampered. Only purchase from Ledger.com/start or authorized resellers.

2. Power On and Connect

Use the provided USB cable to connect your Ledger Nano to your computer. Follow on-screen instructions displayed on the device.

3. Initialize Device

• Choose Set up as new device.
• Create a secure PIN code.
• Write down your 24-word recovery phrase on the provided recovery sheet. Never store it digitally.

4. Verify Recovery Phrase
