🚀 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®:
- Plug in your Ledger device.
- Select "Initialize as new device."
- Choose and confirm your PIN code (4 to 8 digits).
- Write down the 24-word recovery phrase (DO NOT take a photo or store digitally).
- 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.

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