Welcome to Ledger.com/start — the official launchpad for your Ledger Nano S Plus, Nano X, and other Ledger hardware wallets. Here, you’ll learn how to safely initialize your wallet, install the Ledger Live application, update your firmware, and protect your recovery phrase. This page ensures your crypto journey begins with maximum security.
Inspect your device packaging for tampering. Genuine Ledger hardware includes intact security seals. Connect your wallet only with the official cable.
Download Ledger Live exclusively from Ledger.com/start. This companion app manages firmware, crypto apps, and account balances securely.
Choose a strong PIN on the device. Record the 24-word recovery phrase offline. Never digitize or share it — it is the master key to your assets.
Use Ledger Live to apply firmware updates, then install apps for Bitcoin, Ethereum, or other supported assets. Confirm all transactions on the device screen.
Setting up through Ledger.com/start ensures that you use only verified tools and instructions. Ledger wallets use a certified secure element chip to isolate your private keys from online threats.

The Ledger Live app provides a single dashboard to manage multiple cryptocurrencies and NFTs while keeping private keys offline. Regular firmware updates enhance security and compatibility, so make them a habit.
You can restore your accounts on another Ledger wallet using your recovery phrase. Without that phrase, funds cannot be recovered.
