Welcome to Ledgér.com/Start® – your trusted gateway to safely managing digital assets. Whether you’re new to cryptocurrency or transitioning from another wallet, this comprehensive guide will help you understand how to get started with Ledger® and make the most of its features for optimal security and control.
Ledger® is a leading hardware wallet brand designed to store your cryptocurrencies offline in a secure environment. Unlike hot wallets, which are connected to the internet, Ledger hardware wallets protect your private keys offline, reducing the risk of cyber threats such as hacking, phishing, and malware. With millions of users globally, Ledger has earned a reputation for its robust security protocols and user-friendly interface.
To begin your Ledger® journey, visit the official start page: Ledgér.com/Start®. This page serves as the centralized hub for downloading the Ledger Live app, learning how to set up your device, and accessing trusted resources for account security.
Important: Always ensure you’re on the authentic website. Check the URL spelling carefully to avoid phishing scams.
Ledger currently offers two flagship products:
Ledger Nano S Plus: A cost-effective option suitable for beginners and casual investors.
Ledger Nano X: A Bluetooth-enabled, mobile-friendly device with enhanced storage, ideal for users managing multiple assets.
Once you have selected and received your Ledger device, it’s time to move to the setup process.
Ledger Live is the official app for managing your wallet, installing crypto apps, sending/receiving tokens, and tracking your portfolio. It is available for Windows, macOS, Linux, and iOS/Android devices.
After downloading:
Install the app on your computer or mobile device.
Launch the app and choose “Get Started.”
Select your Ledger device from the list.
Follow the on-screen steps to initialize your hardware wallet.
Power On: Connect your Ledger device using the provided USB cable.
Create a New Wallet: Choose “Set up as new device.”
PIN Code: Select a secure 4- to 8-digit PIN. This protects your device from unauthorized access.
Recovery Phrase: Write down your 24-word recovery phrase. This is your only backup. Store it in a secure, offline location.
Never share your recovery phrase with anyone. Ledger® will never ask for it.
After setup, return to Ledger Live to install applications for your desired cryptocurrencies (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.). Each crypto has its own app you must install on the device.
Go to “My Ledger” in Ledger Live.
Install the appropriate crypto app(s).
Add accounts by selecting “Add Account” and choosing the desired currency.
This allows Ledger Live to synchronize with the blockchain and display your balances.

Use this address to send funds from another wallet or exchange.
Confirm the address on your Ledger device screen before receiving.
Use the “Send” feature to transfer funds out securely.
Ledger Live supports a wide range of cryptocurrencies and tokens, enabling seamless portfolio management.
Ledger regularly updates its firmware and the Ledger Live app to enhance security. Always keep your software up to date:
Check for firmware updates in Ledger Live.
Backup your recovery phrase and store it securely.
