Official Ledger.com/Start® Setup Guide
Ledger.com/start® is the authentic destination for securely initializing your Ledger hardware wallet. The setup process ensures that your private keys are generated and stored within your device, away from the reach of hackers and phishing sites. Begin by connecting your Ledger Nano to your computer or smartphone using Ledger Live, the official companion app. This app acts as your digital command center—enabling you to install crypto apps, check balances, and approve transactions with complete control.
During setup, your Ledger will generate a unique recovery phrase—a sequence of 24 words that serves as the ultimate backup to your wallet. Write it down on paper and store it offline in a safe place. Never take a photo or upload it online. This recovery seed is the only way to regain access if your device is lost or damaged.
Once connected, Ledger Live will guide you through firmware verification, PIN setup, and app installation. You can then manage Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and thousands of other tokens securely. Every transaction you confirm on your device is protected by industry-leading encryption and hardware isolation.
Ledger.com/start® also provides educational resources for staying safe in the crypto world—like identifying phishing attacks and recognizing legitimate URLs. By following this guide, you ensure maximum security and transparency over your assets.
Protect. Manage. Grow. With Ledger, you hold your financial sovereignty in your hands. Begin your journey today and secure your crypto future with confidence.
