Why Ledger.com/Start® Is the Right Place to Begin

Ledger.com/Start® is the official and most secure portal for setting up your Ledger device. It ensures that you:

  • Download the authentic Ledger Live app

Step 1: Unbox and Inspect Your Ledger Device

Before anything else, inspect your Ledger Nano S Plus or Nano X upon delivery. The packaging should be fully sealed, with no signs of tampering. Ledger.com/Start® provides guidance to verify that your product is genuine and untampered.

If anything looks unusual—like a pre-written recovery sheet or a setup device—stop immediately and go to Ledger.com/Start® to verify the device’s authenticity.

Step 2: Download and Install Ledger Live

Ledger Live is the official software interface for managing your wallet. Whether on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, or Android, the safest place to download the latest version is Ledger.com/Start®.

Downloading Ledger Live from Ledger.com/Start® guarantees you're using the original, virus-free version—no third-party tampering.

Step 3: Initialize Your Wallet

After installing Ledger Live, plug in your Ledger device. Follow the on-screen instructions to:

  • Select "Initialize as new device"
  • Create a secure PIN
  • Write down your 24-word recovery phrase

This phrase is the master key to all your assets. Ledger.com/Start® reminds you never to:

  • Share this phrase with anyone
  • Store it digitally or online
  • Enter it into websites or apps

Always keep it offline, written on paper or a metal backup. If your device is lost, this phrase is the only way to recover your funds.
