Ledger.com/Start — Official Setup & Onboarding

Get started safely: download Ledger Live, set up your Ledger device, and protect your recovery phrase.

```

Simple overview

Ledger.com/Start is the official starting point for configuring a Ledger hardware wallet. It guides you through downloading Ledger Live (the companion app), initializing your Ledger device (Nano X, Nano S Plus, Stax), creating a secure PIN, and recording your 24-word recovery phrase. These steps ensure your private keys remain offline and protected inside the hardware device.

Quick setup steps

  1. Visit the official page: https://www.ledger.com/start — always verify you are on the Ledger domain.
  2. Download Ledger Live: Select your platform (Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android) and install the official app.
  3. Connect your Ledger device: Use USB or Bluetooth (Nano X), then set your device PIN directly on the hardware.
  4. Write down the recovery phrase: Record the 24 words offline on the provided card and store them securely; never share or store them digitally.
  5. Verify and add accounts: Ledger Live will verify your device and let you install apps for supported coins and add accounts.

Why use Ledger.com/Start

Starting from the official Ledger page prevents fake installers and phishing. The combination of Ledger Live and a Ledger hardware wallet keeps private keys in a secure element, requiring physical confirmation for transactions — a fundamental protection against remote attacks.
