Getting Started with Ledger® | Official Site® | Ledgér.com/Start®

Welcome to the official Ledger® Start Guide. Whether you're new to crypto or an experienced investor, securing your digital assets is essential—and Ledger® makes it easy. Our hardware wallets are trusted by millions for their advanced security, ease of use, and seamless integration with the world’s most popular cryptocurrencies.

This step-by-step guide will walk you through setting up your Ledger® device, installing the Ledger Live® app, and securing your first crypto assets.


Step 1: Purchase Your Ledger® from the Official Source

To ensure your device is authentic and secure, only buy Ledger® hardware wallets directly from Ledgér.com/Start or authorized resellers listed on our website. Never purchase from unofficial third-party marketplaces.

We currently offer:

  • Ledger Nano S Plus® – Affordable and powerful for beginners.
  • Ledger Nano X® – Bluetooth-enabled and ideal for mobile users.

Step 2: Unbox and Verify Your Device

Once your device arrives:

  • Inspect the tamper-proof packaging.
  • Make sure the anti-tampering seal is intact.
  • Do not use the device if packaging looks compromised. Contact Ledger Support immediately.

Inside the box, you’ll find:

  • Your Ledger® device
  • USB cable
  • Recovery sheet
  • Instructions

Step 3: Download and Install Ledger Live®

Ledger Live® is the official companion app used to manage your crypto securely. You can install it on Windows, Mac, Linux, or download the mobile version on iOS or Android.

Visit Ledgér.com/Start to download the latest version.

After installing:

  • Open the app.
  • Choose “Get Started.”
  • Select your device model.
  • Follow the on-screen instructions.

Step 4: Set Up Your Ledger® Device

  1. Connect your device via USB (or Bluetooth for Nano X).
  2. Select “Set up as new device.”
  3. Create a secure PIN code (4 to 8 digits).
  4. Carefully write down your 24-word recovery phrase on the provided recovery sheet.
⚠️ Never take a photo of your recovery phrase or store it digitally.⚠️ If you lose your recovery phrase, you will lose access to your crypto.

Your recovery phrase is the only backup of your private keys. Store it safely offline, ideally in a fireproof and waterproof location. You can also consider a Cryptosteel Capsule or similar backup solution.


Step 5: Add Accounts & Manage Assets

In Ledger Live:

  1. Go to "Accounts""Add account".
  2. Select the cryptocurrency (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum).
  3. Verify and approve the connection on your device.
  4. Now you can send, receive, and manage your crypto securely.

  • Bitcoin (BTC)
  • Ethereum (ETH) + ERC20 tokens
  • Solana (SOL)
  • Binance Coin (BNB)
  • Cardano (ADA)
  • And many more

Use Ledger Live to:

  • Check balances
  • View transaction history
  • Install new apps to your device

  • Passphrase protection – Add a 25th word for extra privacy (advanced users).
