Getting Started with Ledger: Your Secure Path to Crypto Ownership
Welcome to the official Ledger.com/Start page — your trusted guide to setting up and using your Ledger hardware wallet. In the fast-evolving world of cryptocurrencies, securing your digital assets has never been more essential. Ledger provides a simple and highly secure solution to store and manage your crypto, ensuring that you remain in full control of your private keys and funds.
Setting up your Ledger device begins with downloading and installing Ledger Live, the official companion app available for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS. Ledger Live allows you to manage your accounts, send and receive crypto, and install the latest firmware updates and apps. Once installed, simply connect your Ledger Nano X or Nano S Plus to your computer or smartphone using the supplied cable or Bluetooth connection.
When you first power on your Ledger device, you’ll be guided through an intuitive setup process. You’ll create a unique PIN code and securely record your 24-word recovery phrase. This recovery phrase is your only backup — it can restore your funds in case your device is lost or damaged. Never share or store it online, and keep it safely offline in a secure place.
After initialization, use Ledger Live to add your preferred crypto accounts — from Bitcoin and Ethereum to hundreds of altcoins and tokens. Each transaction is verified and confirmed directly on your device’s secure screen, ensuring that no malicious software can interfere. Your private keys never leave the Ledger hardware, offering unmatched protection from hacks and phishing attempts.
