In this guide, we’ll walk you through each step, address common questions, and help you avoid the most dangerous traps — including fake websites and phishing scams. Let's dive in.

🚀 Why Choose Ledgér®?

With billions of dollars lost to crypto scams and exchange hacks over the years, securing your digital assets is more important than ever. Ledgér® offers hardware wallets that store your private keys offline, away from the risks of the internet.

Here’s why over 6 million users globally trust Ledger:

  • Enterprise-grade security (CC EAL5+)
  • Support for 5,500+ crypto assets
  • Open-source Ledger Live® app
  • Built-in support for NFTs, staking, DeFi, and more
  • You own your crypto — not an exchange

📦 Step 1: Unbox Your Ledger Device

If you’ve just purchased your Ledger Nano X® or Ledger Nano S Plus®, the first step is to unbox it and make sure it’s brand new and untampered. Only buy your device from Ledger’s Official Site® or an authorized partner — never from online marketplaces where devices may be compromised.

Your box should include:

  • The device itself
  • USB cable
  • Keychain and accessories
  • Recovery phrase sheets
  • Instruction guide

🔒 Step 2: Navigate to Ledgér.com/Start®

To begin setup, go to the only official start page:
🔗 Ledgér.com/Start®

This page guides you to download Ledger Live®, Ledger’s official software interface for managing your device. Ledger Live is available for:

  • Windows®, macOS®, and Linux®
  • Android® and iOS® (for mobile users)

⚠️ Warning: Fake Ledger Live apps and phishing websites are common. Always verify the URL — it must begin with https://www.ledger.com.

🛠️ Step 3: Set Up Your Ledger Wallet

After downloading Ledger Live®:

  1. Plug in your Ledger device.
  2. Select "Initialize as new device."
  3. Choose and confirm your PIN code (4 to 8 digits).
  4. Write down the 24-word recovery phrase (DO NOT take a photo or store digitally).
  5. Confirm your phrase on the device to complete setup.

This 24-word phrase is the only backup to your crypto. If someone else gains access to it, they can steal your assets.

📲 Step 4: Install Apps and Add Accounts

Once your device is initialized:

  • Open Ledger Live® and navigate to the Manager tab.
  • Install apps for each coin you want to use (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum).
  • Add accounts to view balances, receive assets, and send crypto securely.

You can now access a huge range of cryptocurrencies, tokens (like ERC-20), and even NFTs using your Ledger wallet.

💱 Step 5: Buy, Sell, Stake & Explore Web3

Ledger Live® makes it easy to go beyond HODLing:

  • Buy crypto using trusted partners like MoonPay or Ramp.
  • Swap tokens directly inside Ledger Live®.
  • Stake assets like ETH, DOT, or ATOM to earn rewards.
  • Explore Web3 apps with Ledger Extension® and Ledger Connect® — connect securely to DeFi platforms, NFT marketplaces, and more.

Your private keys never leave your device, giving you unmatched protection when interacting with blockchain apps.

👨‍💻 Bonus: How to Avoid Scams

Security starts with awareness. Here are a few tips to stay safe:

  • Only use Ledgér.com/Start® and Ledger.com.
  • Never enter your 24-word phrase on any website or mobile app.
  • Ledger will never contact you asking for your recovery phrase.
  • Bookmark the official Ledger site: https://www.ledger.com

🧠 Final Thoughts

Using a Ledger wallet puts you in control of your digital assets. With ownership comes responsibility — and the first step is setting it up correctly using Ledgér.com/Start®. From that moment forward, you’re your own bank.

Take your time, follow each step carefully, and keep your recovery phrase safe and offline. With Ledger, you’re not just buying a device — you’re investing in freedom, privacy, and security.
