Ledger.com/Start® | Getting Started — Ledger Support™ Your Complete Guide to Securing Crypto with Confidence
In a world where digital finance is rapidly becoming the norm, protecting your cryptocurrency is no longer optional — it’s essential. Whether you’re new to crypto or an experienced investor managing a diverse portfolio, security should always come first. That’s where Ledger®, the global leader in hardware wallet technology, steps in.
Welcome to Ledger.com/Start®, the official gateway to setting up your Ledger device safely, correctly, and with total confidence. This comprehensive guide from Ledger Support™ walks you through everything you need to know — from unboxing your device to managing assets securely using Ledger Live™.
Let’s get started on your journey toward next-level crypto security. 🚀
Why Ledger® Matters in the Crypto World
Cryptocurrency gives you financial freedom, but with freedom comes responsibility. Unlike traditional banking, crypto places you in full control of your funds. That means you are your own bank — and your security depends on the tools you use.
Ledger® hardware wallets are trusted by millions worldwide because they keep private keys offline, protected by industry-leading security technology. Unlike software wallets or exchanges, Ledger devices are immune to online attacks, phishing attempts, and malware.
Key benefits of Ledger® include:
🔐 Cold storage security
🧠 Certified Secure Element chips
🌍 Support for thousands of cryptocurrencies
🖥 Seamless integration with Ledger Live™
🛡 Protection against hacks and scams
When you choose Ledger®, you choose peace of mind.
What Is Ledger.com/Start®?
Ledger.com/Start® is the only official starting point for setting up your Ledger hardware wallet. It ensures:
You download authentic Ledger software
You follow verified setup instructions
You avoid counterfeit apps and phishing websites
You learn best practices for long-term crypto security
Ledger Support™ strongly recommends that users never trust third-party setup guides or unofficial downloads. Always begin at Ledger.com/Start® to protect your assets from day one.
What Comes in the Ledger® Box?
When you receive your Ledger device, your package typically includes:
✔ Ledger Nano X® or Ledger Nano S Plus®
✔ USB cable
✔ Recovery sheets (important!)
✔ User documentation
✔ Ledger authenticity seal
Before proceeding, ensure your device packaging is intact and untampered with. Ledger devices are never pre-configured, and they never come with a pre-written recovery phrase. If you notice anything unusual, stop immediately and contact Ledger Support™.
Step 1: Go to Ledger.com/Start®
Open your browser and navigate directly to:
👉 https://www.ledger.com/start
This page automatically detects your device model and operating system, ensuring you get the correct setup experience.
⚠️ Security Tip: Always type the URL manually. Avoid ads, links in emails, or social media messages claiming to be Ledger.
Step 2: Download Ledger Live™ (Official Software)
Ledger Live™ is the companion app that allows you to:
Manage crypto assets
Install coin apps
Send and receive crypto
Monitor balances in real time
Stake supported coins
Update device firmware
Ledger Live™ is available for:
💻 Windows
🍎 macOS
🐧 Linux
📱 iOS
🤖 Android
Download Ledger Live™ only through Ledger.com/Start® to ensure authenticity.
Step 3: Set Up Your Ledger® Device
Once Ledger Live™ is installed, connect your device and follow the guided setup.
You’ll be asked to:
🔹 Choose a PIN Code
Your PIN protects physical access to your wallet. Choose a unique, hard-to-guess number and never share it.
🔹 Generate Your Recovery Phrase
Your Ledger device will generate a 24-word recovery phrase — the most important part of your setup.
🛑 Critical Rules:
Write the words by hand
Never take photos
Never store digitally
Never share with anyone — not even Ledger Support™
This phrase is the only backup to your crypto. Lose it, and your funds are gone forever. Protect it like gold.
Step 4: Confirm Your Recovery Phrase
Ledger Live™ will ask you to confirm your recovery phrase to ensure it was written correctly. This step is crucial and helps prevent mistakes that could cost you your assets later.
Once confirmed, your Ledger device is officially ready to use.
🎉 Congratulations — your crypto security is now in your hands!

Ethereum (ETH)
Solana (SOL)
Polygon (MATIC)
Litecoin (LTC)
XRP
Cardano (ADA)
Stablecoins (USDT, USDC, DAI)

Sending & Receiving Crypto

Why Ledger® Is More Secure Than Software Wallets
Software wallets store private keys on internet-connected devices, making them vulnerable to:
Malware
Keyloggers
Phishing attacks
Exchange breaches
Ledger® eliminates these risks by storing private keys inside a Secure Element chip, similar to the technology used in passports and credit cards.
Even if your computer or phone is compromised, your crypto remains safe.
Avoiding Scams: Ledger Support™ Safety Tips
Scammers target crypto users aggressively. Ledger Support™ will never:
Ask for your recovery phrase
DM you on social media
Call you unexpectedly
Send links asking for wallet verification
🚨 If anyone requests your recovery phrase — it is a scam.
Always rely on:
Ledger.com/Start®
Ledger.com
Official Ledger Live™ app
Firmware Updates & Device Maintenance
Ledger regularly releases firmware updates to improve performance and security.
Ledger Live™ will notify you when updates are available. Always install updates promptly and follow on-screen instructions carefully.
Your recovery phrase ensures your assets remain safe during updates.
What If You Lose Your Ledger® Device?
Don’t panic.
Your crypto is not stored on the device itself — it lives on the blockchain. As long as you have your recovery phrase, you can restore your wallet on:
A new Ledger device
Another compatible hardware wallet
Without the recovery phrase, funds cannot be recovered. This is why secure storage is vital.
