Ledger.com/Start® | Getting Started — LEDGER
Welcome to Ledger.com/Start®, your first step toward secure and seamless cryptocurrency management. Whether you are new to digital assets or looking to enhance your existing crypto setup, Ledger provides all the tools, guidance, and security you need to confidently navigate the world of cryptocurrencies. This guide will walk you through getting started, from setting up your Ledger device to managing your crypto portfolio safely.
Step 1: Choose Your Ledger Device
Before you can begin, you’ll need a Ledger hardware wallet. Ledger offers a range of devices, including Ledger Nano S Plus and Ledger Nano X, designed to meet the needs of both beginners and experienced users. Hardware wallets store your private keys offline, protecting your funds from hacks and unauthorized access. Visit Ledger.com/Start® to select the device that’s right for you.
Once your device arrives, ensure it is sealed and authentic. Ledger ships all devices directly from the factory to guarantee security, so any tampered packaging should be treated with caution. For more details on verifying your device, refer to the official Ledger.com/Start® guide.
Step 2: Set Up Your Device
Setting up your Ledger device is straightforward. Begin by connecting your device to your computer or mobile device and following the on-screen instructions. You will be prompted to create a PIN code, which secures your device from unauthorized access.
Next, write down your recovery phrase—a set of 24 words that serve as a backup for your crypto assets. Your recovery phrase is the most critical part of your wallet security. Store it safely offline and never share it online. For detailed step-by-step instructions, check out our comprehensive setup guide at Ledger.com/Start®.
Step 3: Install Ledger Live
After setting up your device, download Ledger Live, the official app for managing your crypto assets. Ledger Live allows you to buy, sell, and exchange cryptocurrencies securely. It also helps you install apps for specific cryptocurrencies directly onto your Ledger device.
Open Ledger Live and follow the prompts to pair your device. Once paired, you can add accounts for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and thousands of other supported cryptocurrencies. For beginners, our Ledger.com/Start® tutorials provide a full walkthrough on using Ledger Live efficiently.
Step 4: Securely Manage Your Crypto Assets
With Ledger Live connected to your hardware wallet, you can now manage your digital assets with confidence. Monitor your portfolio, receive funds, and send transactions safely—all without exposing your private keys online. Regularly update both your Ledger device and Ledger Live app to benefit from the latest security improvements.
To maximize security, Ledger recommends enabling two-factor authentication for any connected accounts and keeping your recovery phrase in a secure, offline location. Our Ledger.com/Start® resources include best practices for protecting your crypto and avoiding common security pitfalls.
Step 5: Expand Your Crypto Journey
Getting started with Ledger is just the beginning. As you grow more comfortable with cryptocurrency management, explore advanced features like staking, decentralized finance (DeFi), and NFT management through Ledger Live. Ledger’s ecosystem is built to support your long-term journey, ensuring that your assets remain secure while giving you full control over your digital portfolio.
