Welcome to the official Ledger Start page — your gateway to secure crypto storage. Learn how to initialize your Ledger wallet, install Ledger Live, and begin managing digital assets with unmatched security.
At Ledger.com/start, you’ll find the step-by-step process to safely activate and manage your Ledger device. Whether you own a Ledger Nano X, S Plus, or Stax, each setup ensures your private keys never leave the device. The official Ledger Live app acts as your central hub for managing crypto assets securely from any desktop or mobile device.
Begin by visiting Ledger.com/start and connecting your Ledger device via USB. Follow on-screen prompts to verify authenticity through official firmware updates. This verification ensures that your device is genuine and untampered, directly linked to the Ledger Secure Element chip.
Download and install Ledger Live from the official website to access your wallet interface. Ledger Live helps manage crypto portfolios, send or receive funds, and track assets in real time. Always ensure you download Ledger Live only from trusted sources to prevent phishing or fake software risks.
If you’re setting up a new wallet, your Ledger will generate a 24-word recovery phrase. Write it on the recovery sheet and store it safely offline — this is your ultimate backup. Existing users can use the “Restore” option to recover wallets using their original recovery phrase securely.
Once initialized, open Ledger Live and access your personalized dashboard. Add crypto accounts, track live balances, stake assets, or swap tokens easily. Every transaction requires on-device confirmation, ensuring full control and zero exposure to online threats.
Always verify URLs before entering credentials. The official page is Ledger.com/start. Regularly update both your Ledger firmware and Ledger Live app to maintain peak protection. With Ledger, you own your keys — and your crypto remains 100% under your control.
