✅ What is Ledger.com/start?

Ledger.com/start is the official onboarding portal for Ledger hardware wallets (like Ledger Nano S Plus or Ledger Nano X). It guides you through setting up your device securely to manage your crypto assets with the Ledger Live app.

📦 Step 1: Unbox and Check Your Ledger Device

  1. Open the box and make sure your Ledger device is brand new and untampered.
  2. You should have:
    • The hardware wallet
    • USB cable
    • Recovery sheets
    • Instructions
  3. Verify the authenticity at ledger.com/start.

🖥️ Step 2: Go to ledger.com/start

  1. Open your computer and go to ledger.com/start.
  2. Choose your Ledger model (Nano S Plus, Nano X, etc.).
  3. Follow the on-screen setup instructions.

💻 Step 3: Install Ledger Live

  1. Download the Ledger Live app for Windows, Mac, or Linux from ledger.com/start (only use the official site!).
  2. Install and open Ledger Live.
  3. Click ‘Get Started’.

🔑 Step 4: Set Up as New Device

  1. Connect your Ledger to your computer using the USB cable.
  2. Follow the on-device instructions:
    • Set a secure PIN code (4-8 digits).
    • Write down your 24-word Recovery Phrase on the provided sheet. ⚠️ Never share this phrase. Ledger will never ask for it.

🔄 Step 5: Confirm Your Recovery Phrase

  1. The device will ask you to confirm the 24-word phrase.
  2. This ensures you have written it correctly. 🛡️ Your recovery phrase is the ONLY backup to restore your crypto if you lose your device.

  2. Click ‘Check my Nano’ to verify your device.

  2. Choose the crypto you want to receive.
  3. Verify the address on your device screen.
  4. Share this address to receive funds securely.
