Welcome to Ledger.com/start – your secure gateway into the world of crypto asset management. Whether you're a first-time hardware wallet user or upgrading your device, we’re here to walk you through each step to ensure your digital assets are safe and accessible. Ledger is trusted by millions of users globally for securing Bitcoin, Ethereum, NFTs, and thousands of other assets. To begin, make sure you have your Ledger Nano device in hand – either a Nano S Plus, Nano X, or Ledger Stax. If you’ve just purchased your device, remove it from the packaging and ensure it's genuine by checking the tamper-evident seal. Then, connect it to your computer or mobile phone using the provided USB cable or Bluetooth connection. Next, download the Ledger Live application – our official companion app – from Ledger.com. This software allows you to install apps for different crypto assets, manage transactions, check balances, and much more. Once installed, open Ledger Live and select "Get Started." Follow the prompts to initialize your device, including setting a secure PIN and writing down your 24-word recovery phrase. This phrase is the only backup of your private keys. Store it offline in a secure location – never share it with anyone. After setup, you’ll install crypto apps directly on your device using Ledger Live. These apps enable the device to understand and sign transactions for each type of crypto asset. You can then add accounts in Ledger Live and begin transferring crypto from exchanges or other wallets. Each transaction must be manually verified on your Ledger device – adding an unmatched layer of security. With Ledger, your private keys never leave your device. You're protected from hackers, phishing, and online threats that software wallets may not withstand. Ledger also supports staking, DeFi, and NFTs – all within the secure environment of Ledger Live. For advanced users, integrations with Metamask, WalletConnect, and other services offer expanded utility. If you need help, Ledger.com/start includes official support resources, video tutorials, and troubleshooting guides. Never trust unofficial sites or social media accounts claiming to offer support. Always verify links and bookmark Ledger.com to avoid scams. Thank you for choosing Ledger. Your crypto is yours – and now it’s safe.
