Welcome to the Ledger Getting Started Hub
The Ledger Getting Started Hub is your one-stop resource for securely launching your crypto journey. Whether you’re new to digital assets or an experienced holder, this guide provides every step you need to take control of your financial freedom using the official Ledger.com/Start portal.
Why Choose Ledger?
Ledger protects your private keys — the most critical part of owning crypto. With a hardware wallet like the Ledger Nano X or Nano S Plus, your private keys stay offline, away from hackers and phishing attempts. Combine that with Ledger Live, the all-in-one app to manage crypto, NFTs, and DeFi securely.
Official Tip: Always begin setup only at the official Ledger website — ledger.com/start. Never trust unofficial links or pop-ups that ask for your recovery phrase.
Step-by-Step Setup Guide
- Unbox your device: Ensure your Ledger Nano comes sealed and untampered. If the box looks altered, contact Ledger Support immediately.
- Power on and create a PIN: Connect the device to your computer or mobile. Choose a secure PIN — it’s required every time you access your Ledger.
- Write down your recovery phrase: You’ll receive a 24-word recovery phrase. Write it down carefully on the provided sheet. This phrase is the only way to recover your funds if your device is lost or stolen.
- Install Ledger Live: Download the official app from Ledger.com/Start. Ledger Live lets you manage your crypto accounts, check balances, and approve transactions securely.
- Add crypto accounts: In Ledger Live, select “Add account” to install apps for each supported cryptocurrency like Bitcoin, Ethereum, or XRP.
Secure Your Crypto — The Right Way
- Keep your recovery phrase offline and private. Never upload or store it digitally.
- Always verify every transaction on your Ledger screen before confirming.
- Regularly update your firmware and Ledger Live app for the latest security features.
- Use only trusted computers or mobile devices to connect your Ledger.
