Start Your Journey with Ledger Start®
Welcome to Ledger Start® — the next-generation setup experience for all Ledger hardware wallets. Designed with simplicity and innovation, it guides you through every essential step to secure your digital assets. Whether you own a Ledger Nano X, Ledger Stax, or Ledger Nano S Plus, this is your official gateway to safe crypto management.
Begin by downloading the official Ledger Live app on your desktop or smartphone. This all-in-one platform allows you to install apps for each cryptocurrency, check balances in real time, and track your portfolio with detailed analytics. Ledger Live also integrates directly with DeFi and NFT management tools.
When you power on your Ledger device, it will guide you through creating a secure PIN and generating your unique 24-word recovery phrase. Think of this phrase as your digital keychain — it’s the only way to restore your wallet if your device is ever lost or damaged. Keep it offline and never share it.
The hardware uses Secure Element technology — the same encryption chips trusted by financial institutions worldwide. Every transaction is verified on your physical device screen, keeping your private keys offline and safe from hackers or malware.
With Ledger Start®, you also get access to advanced educational content. Learn how to connect to Web3 platforms, stake your crypto, and explore the growing world of decentralized finance — all while staying in full control of your assets.
Ledger’s mission is to empower users to take back control of their financial freedom. By combining intuitive design, 3D visual interactivity, and unbreakable hardware security, Ledger Start® helps you make your first steps in the crypto universe confidently and securely.
