Welcome to Ledger.com/Start
Ledger.com/start is the trusted launchpad for every Ledger hardware wallet. Whether you’re new to crypto or migrating from another wallet, this is where you’ll find the official Ledger Live software and complete instructions for safe setup. Starting here protects you from phishing, malware, and unauthorized downloads.
Step 1: Download Ledger Live
Ledger Live is the central hub for managing your cryptocurrency. Visit Ledger.com/start to download the app for Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, or Android. Avoid third-party sites—only download from the official source for maximum safety.
Step 2: Connect & Initialize
Attach your Ledger Nano X or Nano S Plus to your computer or mobile device. Ledger Live will guide you through wallet initialization. You’ll create a secure PIN and choose whether to set up a new wallet or restore one using your recovery phrase.
Step 3: Backup with Recovery Phrase
Your 24-word recovery phrase is the only key to restoring your funds. Write it down on the recovery sheet provided, and never take photos or store it online. Keep it safe offline in multiple locations to protect against loss or theft.
Step 4: Install Crypto Apps
Inside Ledger Live, install specific apps for the cryptocurrencies you plan to hold—Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and many more. Each app links your Ledger device securely to blockchain networks, letting you send, receive, and track assets with confidence.

- Ignore unsolicited emails or messages claiming to be Ledger support.
- Store your recovery sheet in a secure, offline location.
Why Ledger Wallets Stand Out
Ledger devices use secure element chips and proprietary firmware to safeguard private keys. Unlike software wallets, private keys never leave the device, ensuring robust protection against hackers. By beginning at Ledger.com/start, you guarantee authenticity and peace of mind.
