Ledger.com/start offers a comprehensive setup experience for Ledger hardware wallets, creating a fortified environment for safeguarding digital assets while remaining accessible for users at all technical levels. Here’s an updated take on the content.
To begin, visit the official Ledger.com/start website to guarantee authenticity and access the latest support resources. Unbox your chosen Ledger device—Nano S Plus, Nano X, or Stax—and ensure the package seal is intact. Connect the wallet to your computer or smartphone using the supplied cable, and follow the prompts on both the device and Ledger website.
You’ll be guided to install the Ledger Live app, the secure portal to manage your digital asset portfolio. The app will walk you through device initialization, where you’ll set a PIN code to physically secure the device. Next, write down your 24-word recovery phrase, generated by your device, and store it offline; this backup is critical for account recovery but must never be shared or stored online.
Once your device is initialized, Ledger Live makes it simple to install blockchain apps and add cryptocurrency accounts. Each supported asset (such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Solana) has a dedicated app, and accounts are managed with clear instructions. Sending and receiving assets requires on-device confirmation—addresses and amounts are displayed for user verification, making clipboard attacks nearly impossible.
