🔐 Ledger.com/start — Complete Setup Guide

Setting up your Ledger hardware wallet through Ledger.com/start is the safest way to begin your crypto journey. This guide walks you through everything — from unboxing to securing your recovery phrase — in simple steps. Let’s get started! 🚀

📦 1. Unbox Your Ledger Device

When you open your package, ensure it contains:

  • Ledger device (Nano S Plus or Nano X)

  • USB cable

  • Recovery sheets

  • Instructions booklet

⚠️ If the box looks tampered with, stop immediately and contact Ledger support.

💻 2. Go to Ledger.com/start

Visit Ledger.com/start to download the official Ledger Live app.
Ledger Live is your gateway to:

  • Setting up your device

  • Managing crypto assets

  • Updating firmware

  • Installing apps

Available for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android 📱💻

🛠️ 3. Install Ledger Live & Begin Setup

After installing Ledger Live, open the app and select:
👉 “Get Started”
👉 Choose your device model
👉 Select “Set up as new device”

The app will now guide you step-by-step.

🔑 4. Create a PIN Code

Your Ledger device will ask you to set a PIN (4–8 digits).

Tips:

  • Do NOT use easy combinations like 1234

  • Never share your PIN

  • Write it down somewhere safe

Your PIN protects your device if someone physically accesses it 🔒

📝 5. Write Down Your 24-Word Recovery Phrase

This is the MOST important step! 🛑

Your Ledger will display 24 unique words — your Recovery Phrase.

You MUST:

  • Write all 24 words in correct order

  • Store them offline in a secure location

  • Never take photos or store it digitally

  • Never share it with ANYONE

Anyone with these words can access your crypto.
Ledger will NEVER ask for them. 🚫

🌐 6. Confirm Your Recovery Phrase

Your device will ask you to confirm a selection of words from your 24-word phrase.
This ensures you wrote them correctly ✔️

📲 7. Install Apps & Add Crypto Accounts

Within Ledger Live:

  • Go to “My Ledger”

  • Install apps such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, Litecoin, etc.

  • Add accounts to manage your holdings

Ledger only stores private keys — your crypto stays on the blockchain 🌍

💸 8. Receive Your First Crypto

To receive crypto:

  1. Select an account

  2. Click “Receive”

  3. Verify the address on your device

  4. Share the address with the sender

Always verify addresses on the device screen to avoid scams ⚠️

🎉 You’re All Set!

Your Ledger device is now ready to use! Keep your device, PIN, and recovery phrase secure at all times. 🔐✨
