Getting Started with Ledger
Welcome to the official Ledger.com/Start® guide. This is your first step into the world of true digital ownership. At Ledger, we believe in empowering every individual to hold, secure, and grow their crypto assets with complete confidence. Our hardware wallets, such as the Ledger Nano X and Nano S Plus, give you unmatched protection against online threats while keeping you in full control of your funds.
Setting up your Ledger device is fast, secure, and easy. Begin by connecting your new device to your computer or smartphone. Follow the on-screen prompts using the Ledger Live app — your all-in-one platform to manage crypto securely. You'll create a new wallet, generate a recovery phrase, and learn how to safely back it up. Never share your recovery phrase with anyone; it’s your personal key to accessing your assets.
Once set up, Ledger Live allows you to buy, swap, and stake cryptocurrencies directly within the app. Our technology ensures that your private keys never leave your Ledger hardware — meaning your crypto stays offline and beyond hackers’ reach. You get the convenience of modern trading combined with the assurance of true self-custody.
At Ledger.com/Start®, we provide detailed guides, video tutorials, and step-by-step security advice to ensure every user — beginner or expert — feels at home in the crypto world. Whether you’re holding Bitcoin, Ethereum, or NFTs, Ledger supports thousands of assets with cutting-edge updates and integrations.
Security isn’t optional — it’s the foundation of the digital future. Ledger devices are built with certified secure elements and industry-leading firmware. Every transaction you approve is verified on the device screen, so you’re always in control.
