About Ledger.com/Start
Ledger.com/Start is your official guide for setting up Ledger Nano X or Nano S Plus devices. The process begins by connecting your Ledger to your computer or smartphone and downloading Ledger Live — the trusted companion app that allows you to manage coins, NFTs, and tokens all in one place. This platform guarantees authenticity, ensuring your device has not been tampered with before use.
Every Ledger wallet is designed with advanced security — your private keys are generated and stored only within the hardware device. This offline approach, known as “cold storage,” eliminates the risk of online hacks or phishing attacks. Ledger.com/Start ensures that only you have control over your assets, making it a crucial step in owning your crypto safely.
During setup, you’ll create a PIN and receive a unique 24-word recovery phrase. This phrase acts as your master backup and must be written down carefully. Ledger never stores or accesses it, giving you complete ownership and independence over your funds. With Ledger, security isn’t just a feature — it’s a philosophy of self-custody.
Once your device is ready, you can install apps for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and hundreds of other digital assets directly within Ledger Live. With real-time price tracking, portfolio insights, and transaction signing verified on-screen, you can trade, store, and grow your portfolio with confidence.
Ledger.com/Start also provides educational content on staying safe online and avoiding scams. By combining hardware-level protection with user empowerment, Ledger enables a future where everyone can participate in the crypto economy securely and confidently.
