Start Your Secure Crypto Journey

Ledger.com/Start is the official entry point to setting up your Ledger device. This verified page ensures that you download authentic software, connect safely, and configure your wallet correctly. By following these official steps, you protect your digital assets from scams and unauthorized access.

Begin by connecting your new Ledger Nano device to your computer using the original USB cable. Always confirm that you are visiting https://ledger.com/start directly — never use third-party links or search engine ads.

Install Ledger Live

Ledger Live is the official application for managing your crypto portfolio. It allows you to send, receive, and track your assets while maintaining total control of your private keys. Download it only from the official Ledger website to ensure the integrity of your installation.

After installation, open Ledger Live and follow the on-screen instructions. The app will automatically detect your device and guide you through setup, firmware verification, and PIN creation.

Backup Your Recovery Phrase

During setup, your Ledger will generate a 24-word recovery phrase. Write these words down on paper — never store them digitally or share them with anyone. This recovery phrase is the ultimate key to your wallet and can restore access to your funds if your device is ever lost or replaced.

Keep the phrase in a secure, offline location. Anyone with access to it can control your funds, so handle it with extreme caution.

Stay Updated and Protected

Ledger devices are built on a foundation of constant security innovation. Firmware updates strengthen encryption, fix vulnerabilities, and add support for new cryptocurrencies. Regularly check for updates through Ledger Live, and only download from the official ledger.com domain.

Completing your setup at Ledger.com/Start gives you peace of mind, knowing your crypto assets are under your exclusive control. With Ledger, your keys — and your future — are always in your hands.
