Just unboxed your Ledger Nano®? Don’t stress — setting it up is easier than you think. And thanks to Ledger.com/Start®, it’s also 100% safe. 🧭
Let’s walk through the process so you can get started with confidence.
🧰 What You’ll Need
- Your Ledger device (Nano S Plus, Nano X)
- A computer with internet access
- A pen and the recovery sheet from the box
- About 20 minutes of focused time ⏱️
👣 Setup Steps (via Ledger.com/Start®)
1. Go to the Official Setup Page
Always type in Ledger.com/Start® manually — no shortcuts or ads!
2. Download Ledger Live
This is your all-in-one crypto dashboard — where you install apps, send/receive assets, and manage your portfolio.
3. Initialize Your Device
Follow on-screen prompts to:
- Choose a PIN
- Generate your 24-word recovery phrase (write it down offline)
- Confirm each word on-screen
🚨 Never share this phrase, and never store it online. Anyone who has it can steal your assets.
🔗 Connect & Add Coins
Once setup is complete, you can:
- Add accounts (BTC, ETH, SOL, etc.)
- Receive crypto safely
- Buy or swap assets in-app
- Even stake directly from Ledger Live 🤑
🔄 Keeping Firmware & Software Updated
Ledger frequently rolls out security improvements. You’ll be prompted to update:
- Ledger Live
- Your device firmware
- Crypto-specific apps (like Bitcoin or Ethereum)
Stay current, stay secure. 🔁
🛡️ Pro Tip: Use Ledger Live Only
Avoid third-party wallets or sites for transactions. Always verify URLs and use Ledger Live or the Ledger extension for Web3 access.
🌟 Your Wallet, Your Rules
Once you’re set up via Ledger.com/Start®, you control your crypto — not an exchange, not a custodian.
You now hold the keys. 🔑✨
