Secure your cryptocurrency with Ledger hardware wallets and Ledger Live setup.
Welcome to the official Ledger setup guide – your gateway to a secure and simple crypto experience. At Ledger.com/Start, you’ll learn how to safely initialize your Ledger Nano X or Nano S Plus wallet, connect to Ledger Live, and begin protecting your digital assets with industry-leading security.
A Ledger hardware wallet is a physical device that stores your private keys offline, away from internet risks. Whether you hold Bitcoin, Ethereum, NFTs, or DeFi tokens, Ledger ensures your assets remain safe even if your computer or phone is compromised.
Unlike online wallets, Ledger devices are immune to malware and phishing attacks. The built-in secure element chip and PIN verification make Ledger one of the most trusted solutions in the crypto space.
The official Ledger.com/Start page ensures you download authentic software and avoid fake websites. Scammers often create fake wallet setup pages, so always verify the URL carefully. This official guide helps you set up your device step-by-step using Ledger Live, the companion app for managing your crypto safely.
Follow these steps to securely set up your Ledger device and get started:
Ledger Live is your all-in-one crypto management software. Once your wallet is initialized, you can:
The recovery phrase is the most important part of your wallet. If you lose your Ledger device, your crypto can still be recovered using this phrase. However, if anyone else gets access to it, they can steal your assets. Store it offline, in a fireproof, waterproof place — ideally using a metal backup like the Ledger Cryptosteel Capsule.
Once your Ledger wallet is ready, you can connect it to popular Web3 platforms like MetaMask, Uniswap, or OpenSea. This allows you to interact with decentralized apps (dApps) securely — your private keys never leave your device. It’s the perfect combination of convenience and protection for crypto users.
Ledger offers more than just storage — it’s a complete ecosystem for digital asset management. With Ledger Live, you can stake assets, manage NFTs, and even buy or swap crypto safely. Each transaction must be physically confirmed on your Ledger device, ensuring maximum security.
