Ledger.com/Start provides everything you need to activate and secure your Ledger device correctly. From verifying authenticity to installing the official Ledger Live app, every step is crafted to protect you from counterfeit devices and phishing sites. By following this guide, you’re choosing the safest path to managing your crypto assets.
Begin by connecting your Ledger Nano X, Nano S Plus, or Stax to your computer or smartphone. Use the original USB cable or Bluetooth connection, then download the Ledger Live app directly from this page. Avoid unofficial download links or third-party installers — only the official Ledger.com/Start website guarantees authentic firmware and security verification.
During initialization, you’ll create a secure PIN and receive a unique 24-word recovery phrase. This phrase is your ultimate key to restoring access if your device is lost or damaged. Store it offline in a safe, private location and never share it online. Ledger’s technology ensures your private keys remain stored only inside your device — never exposed to the internet.
Once setup is complete, open Ledger Live to explore all supported crypto assets. You can monitor your portfolio, send and receive transactions, and access Web3 apps through verified integrations. Advanced features like staking, account labeling, and privacy mode allow you to take control of your finances confidently.
