Welcome to Ledger.com/start — the official starting point for anyone setting up a Ledger hardware wallet securely and confidently. Whether you’re a crypto beginner or an experienced investor, this page walks you through every step of getting your crypto wallet ready — from unboxing to managing assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and more. 🚀

💡 Why Start at Ledger.com/Start?

⚠️ Security first! Scammers and phishing sites aim to trick users into downloading fake wallet software. By starting at Ledger.com/start, you ensure you’re using official resources to:

  • 👉 Download the genuine Ledger Live app
  • 🔒 Initialize your Ledger wallet device securely
  • 📦 Verify your device authenticity
  • 📝 Generate and protect your 24‑word recovery phrase
  • 📱 Manage your crypto through Ledger Live 💼

This centralized hub reduces risks and makes setup simple, clear, and safe.

🧰 Step‑by‑Step Guide: Get Started Fast

1. 📍 Visit Ledger.com/Start

Open your web browser and go directly to https://www.ledger.com/start — always type the address yourself to avoid phishing.

2. 📥 Download Ledger Live

Choose your platform (Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS) and download Ledger Live — the official crypto wallet management app. Ledger Live is where you’ll track balance, send/receive crypto, and install currency apps.

3. 🔌 Connect & Configure Your Device

Plug in your Ledger hardware wallet (Nano S, Nano X, Stax, etc.), then follow on‑screen instructions to:

✔ Set your secure PIN
✔ Generate your 24‑word recovery phrase
✔ Confirm device authenticity
✔ Install apps for BTC, ETH, SOL, and more 🌐

4. 🔑 Secure Your Wallet

Your 24‑word recovery phrase is the only backup to your crypto wallet — never save it digitally or share it. Write it down and store it offline in a safe place. 📜🔒

📈 After Setup — What’s Next?

Once your Ledger wallet is set up and connected to Ledger Live, you can:

  • 📥 Receive crypto into secure cold storage
  • 📤 Send coins with confidence
  • 💼 Manage multiple wallets and assets
  • 📊 Track portfolio performance
  • 🔄 Stake tokens and explore DeFi directly in Ledger Live

🔁 Stay Secure

Always update your Ledger Live app and device firmware, and never enter your recovery phrase online. Following these best practices keeps your self‑custody wallet safe from hacks. 🔐
