Why start at Ledger.com/Start?

If you’re new to hardware wallets or just want a clean walkthrough, ledger.com/start provides step-by-step instructions tailored to each Ledger model. Using the official onboarding page (Ledger.com/Start or simply ledger.com start) helps you avoid phishing, ensures you install authentic firmware and the Ledger Wallet app, and gives access to official support and learning resources.

Direct downloads for the Ledger Wallet app (formerly Ledger Live).
Security best practices — PIN setup, recovery phrase handling, firmware checks.

Quick start — 6 steps

Go to Ledger.com/Start (type it carefully — avoid copy-pasted links from unknown sources). The official guide guides you per device model.
Unbox & verify: check packaging and authenticity. If anything seems tampered with, contact support before proceeding.
Download Ledger Wallet: install the Ledger Wallet app for your platform via the official site and connect your device.
Create a PIN: set a secure PIN on the device.
Write down your recovery phrase: Ledger devices show a 24-word phrase — write it on paper and store offline; never enter it into software or share it.
Install crypto apps & test: add the coin apps you need in Ledger Wallet and send a small test transaction.

Remember: use only official resources (Ledger.com/Start, ledger.com start) and never share your recovery phrase or enter it online. (Note: some sites or explorers may be malicious — double-check every URL.)

Security tips — keep your crypto safe

Security is the point of a hardware wallet. A few high-impact practices:

Download Ledger Wallet only from the official site (Ledger.com/Start or ledger.com start) — impostor apps exist.
Never disclose your 24-word recovery phrase. Ledger support will never ask for it.
Keep firmware and app versions up to date via official channels.
For high-value holdings, consider passphrase-protected accounts and offline storage for recovery.

Because attackers may publish fake installers or phishing pages, always verify the URL and signatures when available. If in doubt, consult the official Ledger support center linked from Ledger.com/Start.

Learning & resources

After setup, explore Ledger Academy and the knowledge base for deep dives on staking, NFTs, and advanced wallet features. The Getting Started Hub links directly to articles, video tutorials, and troubleshooting guides so you can grow from beginner to confident user.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What exactly is Ledger.com/Start and why should I use it?

Answer: Ledger.com/Start is the official onboarding portal that walks you through initializing your Ledger device, installing Ledger Wallet, and securing your recovery phrase. Using the official start page reduces phishing risk and ensures you use the genuine Ledger software.

2. Is Ledger Wallet the same as Ledger Live?

Answer: Ledger Wallet is the official companion app for Ledger hardware devices (previously branded as Ledger Live in many places). The app is available for desktop and mobile and is the interface for installing coin apps, sending/receiving, and portfolio management.

3. I lost my Ledger device — can I recover funds?

Answer: Yes — your funds are recoverable with your 24-word recovery phrase. If you lose the physical device, buy a new Ledger (or compatible wallet) and restore using your recovery phrase. Never share the phrase; anyone with it can access your funds.

4. How do I know if a Ledger software download is legitimate?

Answer: Always download from Ledger.com/Start or ledger.com start and verify file signatures when provided. Beware of third-party sites and fake installers circulated via email, torrents, or random links.

5. What should I do if a site asks for my recovery phrase?

Answer: Immediately stop. No legitimate service, including Ledger, will ask for your recovery phrase. Treat any request for seed words as a scam and report it. Securely erase any copies you may have created in digital form and move your funds after restoring to a new recovery phrase if necessary.
